How does this shampoo calm a dry, itchy scalp?

The formula pairs aloe vera—known for its moisturizing, cooling sensations—with piroctone olamine, an ingredient used to help control scalp flaking. Together they reduce tightness and visible flakes while the creamy texture helps distribute soothing actives across the scalp.

• Aloe vera extract to hydrate and soothe surface irritation
• Piroctone olamine to help reduce visible flakiness
• Creamy lather for even scalp coverage
• Mild surfactants chosen for gentle cleansing

Will this shampoo strengthen hair and support follicles?

Maria Nila Head & Hair Heal includes peptides and botanically derived compounds that support scalp circulation and nutrient delivery to follicles. While not a medical treatment, the formula aims to improve the hair’s appearance and resilience by nourishing the scalp environment.

• Peptides that promote microcirculation around follicles
• Apigenin and oleanolic acid to help transfer nutrients to roots
• Supports stronger-feeling hair with repeated use

What does it smell like and how does it feel when used?

The shampoo carries a floral fragrance blend of jasmine and linden blossom that leaves hair lightly scented after rinsing. Users report a cooling, calming feel on the scalp and a creamy foam that rinses clean without overdrying the hair.

• Floral jasmine and linden blossom notes
• Creamy texture for comfortable application
• Rinses clean while maintaining scalp moisture
