Aveda Scalp Solutions Balancing Shampoo 1.7 fl oz — Gentle Daily Cleanse, 94% Naturally Derived

Aveda Scalp Solutions Balancing Shampoo is a gentle, 94% naturally derived daily cleanser that removes excess oil, pollution and build-up while helping maintain scalp hydration.

This concentrated 1.7 fl oz formula uses plant-derived cleansing agents to refresh hair and scalp without stripping moisture. Designed for everyday use on all hair types, the shampoo delivers a cooling sensation and a bright citrus-floral-mint aroma. It’s formulated without silicones, SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, animal-derived ingredients and other common additives, and meets Aveda’s vegan and cruelty-free standards.

How does this shampoo clean without drying my scalp?

Instead of harsh detergents, the formula relies on plant-based surfactants that lift oil, pollution and product build-up while being less aggressive to the scalp’s natural moisture barrier. The result is a balanced cleanse that feels refreshing rather than tight or squeaky.

• 94% naturally derived* surfactants per ISO 16128 standards
• Gentle removal of excess oil and environmental impurities
• Non-drying finish suitable for daily use

What scent and sensory effects should I expect?

Scalp Solutions Balancing Shampoo opens with bright citrus top notes of lemon and orange, moving into a light floral heart of neroli and finishing with cool mint highlights. The blend gives an instant cooling feel on the scalp and a clean, uplifting aroma during rinsing.

• Fresh citrus top notes for an energizing start
• Neroli floral center for a balanced, light fragrance
• Mint accents that create a subtle cooling sensation

How should I use it as part of a scalp care routine?

Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp to loosen oil and impurities; rinse thoroughly and repeat if desired. For fuller scalp care, follow with Scalp Solutions Replenishing Conditioner and explore complementary treatments in the line for exfoliation, overnight renewal, or protection throughout the day.

• Massage into wet hair and scalp, then rinse well
• Use daily or as needed for scalp refreshment
• Pair with Aveda Scalp Solutions treatments for targeted concerns
