      Why Desert Essence Scalp Care Pre-Treatment Works

      ➕ Why lactic acid on the scalp?
      Lactic acid is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid that loosens flakes and dead cells so they rinse away, leaving the scalp clean.
      ➕ Why glucosamine?
      Glucosamine gently helps loosen dead skin and product buildup on the scalp.
      ➕ What is prebiotic inulin?
      Inulin from chicory root is a prebiotic that feeds the beneficial microbes on the scalp, helping it stay balanced and comfortable.
      ➕ Why peppermint?
      Peppermint oil contains menthol, which gives a cooling tingle that leaves scalp and skin feeling refreshed.
