Kiyoko's Notes
A rebalancing hair shampoo featuring Japanese hot spring algae.
ONSENSOU Hot Spring Algae Essence Scalp Care Shampoo contains seaweed extract from the hot thermal springs of Beppu, a city in Japan famous for their hot springs. This shampoo is gentle and sulfate-free and does everything from rebalancing your roots to adding light hydration to the hair. The Onsensou Scalp Care Shampoo focuses on hair growth with a regular and mild variant -both of which cleanses the scalp while infusing the hair with vitamins and nutrients.
Regular
Menthol-Infused: Contains menthol, offering a cooling sensation that can invigorate the scalp but may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin.
Standard Ingredients: Focuses on core active ingredients like algae extract and hydrolyzed yeast extract without the addition of botanical oils.
Cleansing Action: Employs a combination of surfactants, including sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate and cocamidopropyl betaine, to cleanse the scalp and hair.
Mild
Menthol-Free: Designed for sensitive scalps, it omits menthol to prevent potential irritation.
Botanical Oils: Incorporates four nourishing oils—jojoba, argan, avocado, and mango—to provide added moisture and shine to the hair.
