It is also Kind To Biome(R) certified which means that the shampoo ensures skin/scalp microbiome-gentleness and maintains the skin microbiome balance for a healthy scalp. Sensitive scalps can result from a variety of factors, including environmental, lifestyle, and health-related causes. Frequent exposure to harsh chemicals found in hair care products like shampoos, dyes, and styling gels can strip the scalp of its natural oils, leading to irritation and sensitivity. Environmental factors such as pollution, extreme weather conditions, and UV radiation can also contribute to a sensitive scalp. Additionally, stress, poor diet and cetain skin conditions may exacerbate scalp sensitivity, as they can affect overall skin health. Lastly, improper hair care routines, such as over-washing or aggressive brushing, can further damage the scalp, making it more prone to sensitivity. Care Taker Shampoo is formulated with a soothing and calming blend of Oat extract & Bisabolol. Oat Sativa high in Avenathramides has a long history of use and is rich in highly hydophillic (super water loving) polysaccharides to hydrate and soothe sensitive skin (1), additionally we have Bisabolol that helps in reducing redness, irritation, and discomfort, making it ideal for dry sensitive scalps.1.
