Joico Scalp Vitality Refreshing Shampoo 10.1 fl oz — Pre- & Postbiotic Soothing Cleanse for Dry, Oily & Itchy Scalps

Joico Scalp Vitality Refreshing Shampoo is a gentle, pre- and postbiotic‑infused cleanser designed to restore balance to dry, oily, or itchy scalps while leaving hair soft and manageable.

This shampoo combines targeted botanical extracts and Joico’s vegan SmartRelease protein system to support the scalp’s natural protective microbiome without stripping color or moisture. Its formula includes rosehip oil and stinging nettle to nourish and soothe, plus ingredients that help remove flakes and reduce irritation for a refreshed feel after each wash.

How does this shampoo support a healthier scalp?

By blending pre- and postbiotic ingredients with calming botanicals, the product helps maintain the scalp’s protective microbial barrier. That balanced environment reduces the likelihood of dryness or excess oil and promotes a more comfortable scalp sensation over time.

• Pre- and postbiotic ingredients that preserve the scalp microbiome.
• Stinging nettle provides vitamins to support scalp condition.
• Formulation avoids harsh stripping while cleansing effectively.

Will it work on color-treated hair and different scalp types?

Yes — the formula is safe for natural and color-treated hair and formulated to suit a range of scalp concerns, from dry and flaky to oily or itchy. It cleans without fading color or leaving hair weighed down, so it fits into many hair care routines.

• Gentle enough for color-treated hair.
• Suitable for dry, oily, and combination scalps.
• Light finish preserves shine and body without residue.

What ingredients make a visible difference after washing?

Key ingredients include rosehip oil for softening and shine, stinging nettle for vitamin-rich scalp support, and Joico’s vegan SmartRelease protein to mimic hair’s natural protein structure. Together they address both scalp comfort and hair manageability after rinsing.

• Rosehip oil replenishes and adds lightweight shine.
• Vegan SmartRelease protein helps strengthen without heaviness.
• Stinging nettle contributes vitamin support for scalp health.

How should I incorporate this into my routine for best results?

Use as your regular shampoo: apply to wet hair, lather focusing on the scalp, then rinse thoroughly. For targeted relief, follow with a nourishing conditioner or a Joico scalp treatment, and adjust frequency depending on your scalp’s needs.

• Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp for 60–90 seconds.
• Rinse and repeat if hair is particularly product-laden.
• Pair with a conditioner or leave-in for added moisture if needed.

Who this is for: Joico Scalp Vitality Refreshing Shampoo is aimed at anyone looking to calm and rebalance their scalp—whether you experience dryness, oiliness, flakes, or occasional irritation—and who wants a formula compatible with color-treated or natural hair. It’s especially useful for people seeking a sulfate‑balanced, botanically supported cleanse that prioritizes the scalp microbiome while improving hair softness and shine.
