ChungMiJung Itchy Scalp Kelp Shampoo 16.9 fl oz – Sulfate-Free, Gentle Hydrating Formula for Sensitive & Dry Scalp

CHUNGMIJUNG Itchy Scalp Shampoo is a gentle, sulfate-free kelp (Laminaria Japonica) shampoo formulated to soothe sensitive, dry, and itchy scalps while providing lightweight hydration for everyday use.

This Korean haircare shampoo blends a concentrated Laminaria Japonica extract with a botanical complex to calm scalp irritation and cleanse without harsh sulfates. Dermatologically tested and made with coconut-derived surfactants, the formula removes oil and impurities without stripping natural moisture. It’s designed to be mild enough for frequent use on dry, color-treated, or fine hair and pairs well with ChungMiJung’s conditioner and scalp treatment for a complete routine.

How does this shampoo soothe an itchy, sensitive scalp?

The shampoo uses a high concentration of Laminaria Japonica (kelp) together with Centella Asiatica and mung bean extract to help comfort and hydrate the scalp. These plant-derived actives work alongside mild cleansing agents to reduce the feeling of tightness and dryness, supporting a more balanced scalp environment.

• 3,930ppm Laminaria Japonica for concentrated seaweed nourishment
• Centella Asiatica and mung bean to help calm and condition
• Dermatologically tested for sensitive-skin compatibility
• Light-feel hydration that avoids leaving residue

Will this shampoo clean hair without harsh sulfates or buildup?

Yes—CHUNGMIJUNG uses coconut-derived surfactants that offer effective cleansing while steering clear of sodium lauryl sulfate and other aggressive detergents. The result is clean, refreshed hair that keeps its natural oils instead of being over-dried, making it suitable for daily washing and color-treated hair.

• Sulfate-free, mild coconut-based cleansers
• Removes sebum and light product buildup gently
• Formulated to rinse clean without leaving film
• Safe for frequent use across family members

What botanical ingredients support hair and scalp health?

Beyond kelp, this formula includes a 13-plant botanical complex such as Centella Asiatica, mung bean seed extract, burdock root, and silk amino acids. These ingredients help fortify hair fibers and provide lightweight conditioning while contributing to scalp comfort and a healthier-looking mane.

• Mung bean and burdock root for scalp nourishment
• Silk amino acids to help strengthen and smooth strands
• Additional Korean herbal extracts to support overall scalp balance
• Free from parabens and silicones for cleaner formulation
