The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only.

A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair, and this shampoo really gets that right. It’s designed to be treated like a skincare step, not just a quick wash. Taking that extra minute or two to let the formula sit on your scalp before rinsing is the key; it gives the beneficial ingredients like Korean Angelica Root and Green Tea time to be absorbed and do their job.

A fresh and woodsy scent derived from natural botanicals.

Why is a "scalp-first" approach important?
Think of your scalp like the soil in a garden. If the soil isn't healthy, clean, and nourished, the plants won't grow strong. A "scalp-first" shampoo focuses on creating a balanced environment for your hair follicles, which is the key to producing strong, healthy hair strands from the very beginning.

Is this shampoo sulfate-free?
Yes. It uses gentle cleansers that effectively wash away dirt and oil without the harsh, stripping effects of sulfates. This is what helps it maintain your scalp's natural moisture balance and makes it safe for color-treated hair.

Do I really need to let it sit for 1-2 minutes?
Yes, for the best results. Unlike a basic shampoo that just cleans the surface, this formula is packed with active ingredients designed to benefit your scalp. That waiting period gives those ingredients time to be absorbed and to work effectively, which is crucial for the long-term health of your hair.
