1. Wet hair and scalp thoroughly with lukewarm water. 2. Dispense one pump (approx. 3ml) into your palm. 3. Lather gently between hands, then massage the foam onto your scalp using your fingertips (not nails) for 60 seconds to cleanse and stimulate. 4. Rinse completely. For best results, use with the matching Curél Scalp Care Treatment. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Many notice an immediate 'clean but not stripped' feeling, with less itching after the first few washes. Week 2-3: With consistent use, the scalp feels more balanced. Flakiness and tightness from dryness typically start to decrease. Week 4+: The scalp's environment is better supported. Users report their scalp feels consistently comfortable, resilient, and 'forgotten,' allowing them to focus on their hair, not their scalp.

Curél was born from Kao Corporation's 130+ years of skin science, specifically to solve the unique challenges of sensitive skin. When their research revealed that scalp sensitivity was a major, unaddressed pain point—often worsened by modern stressors and environmental factors—their Japanese labs went to work. They developed this shampoo around their patented Ceramide Care Technology, a formula designed to replenish the scalp's natural moisture barrier without irritation. Every batch is produced in Japan under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, the same certification required for pharmaceuticals. It's not just lab-tested; it's proven in the daily routines of millions, consistently ranking as a top-choice shampoo for sensitive scalp care in Japan for its reliable, gentle relief.

Curél Scalp Care Shampoo 420ml - Hydrating Relief for Sensitive Scalp is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to soothe and nourish sensitive scalps while providing effective cleansing. Key components include water and sodium laureth sulfate as the primary cleansing agents, which gently remove impurities without stripping the scalp's natural moisture. The inclusion of cocamidopropyl betaine enhances mildness and foam stability, ensuring a comfortable washing experience. To address hydration and scalp sensitivity, the shampoo contains glycerin, a humectant that attracts and retains moisture to prevent dryness, and panthenol (provitamin B5), which soothes irritation and strengthens hair fibers. Additionally, allantoin is incorporated for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce scalp redness and discomfort. The formula is further enriched with hydrolyzed silk, which adds softness and smoothness to hair, and fragrance for a pleasant sensory experience. Importantly, this product is free from harsh sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens, and artificial colors, aligning with its gentle, dermatologist-tested approach. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to cleanse, hydrate, and relieve sensitive scalps, promoting healthier, more manageable hair with regular use.
