    FAQ

    Minerals, heavy metals, and chlorine in hard water disrupt the scalp barrier and leave behind stubborn buildup. This can cause irritation and trigger flaking and thinning. Our serums neutralise these barrier-damaging compounds while delivering powerful actives onto the scalp, when it’s most absorbent, to repair and protect.

    Fresh Start was especially designed to protect scalps prone to flakes and itching. Full Control has been formulated to help protect hair that feels thinner than usual from harsh water irritation.

    The Post-Wash Window is the short period after you wash your hair when your scalp barrier is most exposed, but also most receptive to repair.

    When you cleanse, the scalp’s natural lipid layer is temporarily disrupted. Permeability increases, meaning moisture escapes more easily and irritants, minerals, and microbes can interfere with recovery. Our Scalp Serum keeps this area protected for 72 hours to support it during this recovery phase.

    We recommend using the product that best suits your needs. As both protect against harsh water, they will both have a positive effect on scalp hydration and follicle health. 

    Should you wish to try both, we would suggest using them to target different areas. For example, Fresh Start could be used around the hairline to target flakes, and Full Control could be applied to the crown or other areas of concern.

    Yes. Fresh Start is specifically designed for compromised, reactive, or water-stressed scalps. It's pH-balanced, free from drying alcohols and heavy occlusives, and formulated with barrier-supporting amino acids and osmolytes. We also use low-dose salicylic acid (0.15%) for gentle exfoliation without irritation.

    Yes, our serums are gentle, vegan, dermatologist-approved, and free from retinoids, high-dose acids or actives, making them suitable for everyone, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

    Most scalp serums mix all actives into one formula. Over time, this can reduce potency as peptides, acids, and antioxidants slowly degrade or drift out of their ideal pH range.

    Our dual-chamber system keeps actives and the hydrating base formula separate until first use. This prevents oxidation and instability, so ingredients stay effective for longer. Once activated, you’re applying a freshly mixed formula.

    Yes. Our scalp serums are silicone-free, non-stripping, and pH-balanced, so they won’t affect colour or chemical treatments, including keratin treatments and Brazilian blowouts.

    One bottle lasts approximately 2 months, based on twice-weekly use as recommended.

    This frequency supports scalp recovery without over-washing or over-treating, both of which can slow barrier repair.
