Description
Pre-wash scalp exfoliant with 1% salicylic acid (BHA)
Healthy hair growth starts not at the lengths, but at the scalp. Just like facial skin, the scalp has pores that get clogged by sebum, styling product residues, dry shampoo, and dead skin cells. When this buildup accumulates, issues like itching, flakes, oily roots, dull lengths, and even disrupted hair growth occur.
The Alpha-H Healthy Scalp Exfoliating Treatment brings the power of chemical exfoliation to the scalp. This pre-wash treatment with 1% encapsulated salicylic acid dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells in just one minute, without abrasive particles. The result is a deeply cleansed, balanced scalp, less flakes and itching, and visibly fuller, fresher hair that stays clean longer.
Benefits
- Reduces flakes, itching, and sensitivity on the scalp in just one minute
- Dissolves sebum, product residues, and dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing
- Creates a balanced scalp microbiome for healthy hair growth
- Visibly adds more volume, shine, and resilience to the roots
- Extends the time between washes, even with quickly oily roots
Active ingredients
1% Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA): A fat-soluble beta hydroxy acid that penetrates deeper into pores than AHAs and dissolves sebum, dead skin cells, and product buildup. The encapsulated form ensures controlled release over time, treating the scalp evenly without irritation or sensitivity.
Australian Desert Lime: A native Australian fruit extract rich in natural fruit acids, vitamin C, and antioxidants. It supports the action of salicylic acid with additional gentle exfoliation and helps brighten the scalp for a fresh and healthy appearance.
Rice Vinegar Complex: This fermented complex helps maintain the natural pH balance of the scalp. A balanced pH supports the scalp microbiome and strengthens the natural protective function, which is essential for healthy hair.
Anetholea Anisata Leaf Extract: Known as Australian anise myrtle, this soothing plant extract neutralizes redness and irritation. It soothes a sensitive scalp and offers subtle antibacterial properties for a fresh feeling.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference compared to a scalp scrub?
A scalp scrub works mechanically with granules, which can damage or irritate the scalp if used carelessly. This treatment works chemically: salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores and dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells without any friction. Safer, more even, and suitable for more frequent use.
How often can I use this product?
Up to three times a week, depending on your scalp’s needs. For an oily scalp or heavy product buildup, weekly use with every wash is fine. For a drier scalp, start with once a week and build up.
Can I use this on colored or bleached hair?
Yes, the formula is safe for all hair types, including colored and bleached hair. For the first use, perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area to check if the product suits your situation.
Does this treatment help with hair growth?
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. When sebum and dead skin cells block the hair follicles, it can negatively affect the growth cycle. Regular exfoliation creates a clean, balanced environment where hair can grow optimally.
Can I safely use this treatment during pregnancy?
Yes. The product contains 1% salicylic acid in a rinse-off formula, making it safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. When in doubt, we always recommend discussing this with your midwife or doctor.
