Which Haircare is best for Summer?
We love the Propolis & Salicylic Scalp Treatment Shampoo and Conditioner as they help to purify and lift sweat, oil and SPF build up around the hair follicle which can escalate during hot weather. Propolis extract works with Salicylic Acid and Willow Bark to purify and soothe sensitive scalp irritations whilst Pro-Vitamin B5 works to restore lost moisture.
Tip: For best results leave on the hair and scalp for a few minutes.
