Ceremonia Papaya Scalp Scrub Exfoliating Shampoo — 8 fl oz, Papaya Enzymes & Pink Sea Salt, Silicone-Free

Ceremonia Papaya Scalp Scrub is a whipped exfoliating shampoo that uses papaya enzymes and pink sea salt to remove buildup and refresh the scalp.

This pre-shampoo treatment combines gentle physical exfoliation and fruit-derived enzymes to lift excess oil, product residue, and dead skin without leaving hair feeling stripped. The lightweight whipped texture makes it easy to massage through roots, while a mineral-rich salt polish and enzymatic action help clarify and revitalize the scalp for cleaner, more comfortable wash days. The formula is silicone-free, sulfate- and paraben-free, and is designed to be safe on color-treated hair.

How does the papaya enzyme help my scalp?

Papaya enzymes are natural proteolytic enzymes that help break down dead skin cells and loosen residue on the scalp. In a cosmetic formulation they act as a mild biochemical exfoliant, supporting the physical scrub action so buildup is removed more effectively without aggressive abrasion.

• Gently dissolves dead skin and light residue
• Works with salt granules for a two-pronged cleanse
• Suitable for routine scalp maintenance

Will this leave my hair dry or stripped?

The exfoliating action targets the scalp and surface buildup rather than stripping hair fibers; the whipped base helps rinse clean and leave hair feeling softer, not brittle. Because it’s formulated without harsh sulfates and contains moisturizing elements, it balances cleansing with a gentle finish.

• Whipped shampoo texture rinses easily
• Free from sulfates and silicones to avoid heavy residue
• Helps reduce oiliness without over-drying

How do I use this scalp scrub in my routine?

Use as a pre-shampoo treatment on dry or damp scalp, massaging a small amount into the roots to exfoliate, then rinse and follow with your regular shampoo and conditioner. Frequency depends on your scalp needs—once a week for routine care, more often if you have heavy product buildup.

• Apply to sections of the scalp and massage 60–90 seconds
• Rinse thoroughly before normal shampooing
• Adjust frequency based on oiliness and product use

What is in the formula and is it safe for color-treated hair?

The formula focuses on naturally derived ingredients—about 90%—and excludes silicones, parabens, phthalates, and harsh sulfates. Its gentle enzyme-and-salt system is compatible with color-treated hair when used as directed, since it targets the scalp rather than aggressively opening the hair cuticle.

• Papaya enzymes for mild enzymatic exfoliation
• Pink sea salt for mineral-rich physical polish
• No silicones, parabens, phthalates, or harsh sulfates

Who is this for: Ceremonia Papaya Scalp Scrub is made for anyone wanting a deeper, smarter clean at the roots—people who use styling products, experience excess oil or visible buildup, or want to add a spa-like exfoliation step to regular wash days. It’s suitable for all hair textures and safe for color-treated hair when used according to directions, making it a good choice for those seeking clearer, fresher-feeling scalps without harsh chemistry.
