goop Scalp Scrub Shampoo — Himalayan Salt & Rosehip Oil, 6.7 fl oz, exfoliating detox for buildup

This formula blends cold-pressed moringa oil and unfiltered rosehip oil with finely ground Himalayan pink salt to lift product residue, excess oil, and surface impurities while preserving hair texture. Designed to be used as an occasional detox, the whipped consistency spreads easily and turns creamy as the salts dissolve during rinsing. The scent profile mixes rosemary, geranium, orange, and peppermint for a bright, herbal wash experience.

How does this scalp scrub actually remove buildup?

The exfoliating action comes from the Himalayan pink salt crystals that physically dislodge product residue and environmental grime from the scalp. As you massage, the salts loosen deposits and then dissolve in water, carrying impurities away with the rinse. Oils in the formula help prevent over-drying by conditioning strands while you cleanse.

• Mineral-rich salt gently lifts product and oil without harsh surfactants.
• Cold-pressed moringa oil conditions mid-lengths and ends during use.
• Rosehip oil adds lightweight nourishment to reduce friction and frizz.

How should I use it with my regular shampoo and conditioner?

Use the scrub as a weekly or occasional detox treatment rather than a daily cleanser. Wet hair thoroughly, apply directly to the scalp, then massage until the salts begin to dissolve and foam lightly; rinse fully and follow with your preferred conditioner. If your hair is color-treated, test a small section first and adjust frequency to avoid unnecessary fading.

• Apply once a week or as needed for heavy product buildup.
• Rinse completely before applying conditioner to mid-lengths and ends.
• Follow with a hydrating conditioner or mask if hair feels dry.

Will this formula be harsh or leave hair stripped?

The scrub balances physical exfoliation with plant-based oils to avoid an overly stripping effect when used as directed. It intentionally omits sulfates, parabens, silicones, and artificial dyes, relying on salt and gentle surfactancy to cleanse. Because it’s a targeted detox, the recommended weekly use minimizes the risk of dryness while still delivering a noticeable clean feeling.

• Free from SLS, SLES, parabens, silicones, and artificial fragrances.
• Whipped texture spreads smoothly to reduce abrasive friction.
• Oils provide slip and post-wash softness to hair strands.

What sensory details should I expect during and after use?

The product starts as a whipped scrub that turns creamier as you massage and the salts dissolve. A subtle blend of rosemary, geranium, orange, and peppermint gives a refreshing, plant-forward scent that lingers lightly after rinsing. Post-wash, hair and scalp feel clarified and free of buildup but still conditioned from the moringa and rosehip oils.

• Whipped-to-creamy texture that dissolves with water.
• Herbal-citrus aroma that’s noticeable while washing, subtle afterward.
• Clarified scalp and manageable strands following conditioner use.

Who is this for: goop Beauty Scalp Scrub Shampoo is best for people who use styling products regularly, experience occasional oil or residue buildup, or want a weekly clarifying treatment without sulfates or silicones. It’s suitable for most hair types seeking a deeper scalp clean, but those with very dry, compromised, or chemically sensitive scalps should introduce it gently and monitor results. Use as part of a balanced routine—cleanse, rinse, and follow with targeted conditioning for best results.
