Ritual Botanico Dandruff Control Shampoo 400ml — Mint & Chili, Sulfate- and Salt-Free, Gentle on Color-Treated Hair

Ritual Botanico Dandruff Control with Mint and Chili is a 400ml sulfate- and salt-free shampoo formulated to cleanse the scalp, reduce dandruff, and leave hair feeling fresh for up to 72 hours.

Combining cooling mint with chili and other plant-derived actives, this formula targets the scalp microbiota to help reduce flaking while remaining gentle on chemically treated or color-treated hair. Free from sulfates, silicones, zinc pyrithione and added salt, the shampoo focuses on natural antimicrobial and sebum-regulating ingredients that clean without stripping moisture.

How does this shampoo reduce dandruff without harsh chemicals?

The blend uses natural antimicrobial extracts like chili and mint plus xylitol to help rebalance the scalp ecosystem and reduce the microscopic fungi associated with flaking. Because the formula avoids sulfates and added salt, it cleans without over-drying, lowering the chance of rebound flaking.

• Natural antimicrobials target scalp microbes linked to dandruff.
• Xylitol helps maintain healthy scalp hydration and balance.
• No sulfates or salt to prevent aggressive drying during washing.

Will it work on chemically treated, dyed, or relaxed hair?

Yes — the gentle, non-stripping composition is suitable for relaxed, bleached, colored, or otherwise processed hair. The shampoo is designed not to alter hair color and helps support the scalp environment that keeps strands stronger and less prone to breakage.

• Safe for color-treated and relaxed hair types.
• Helps preserve hair fiber strength and shine.
• Formulated to avoid ingredients that can dull or strip color.

Does the chili extract make the shampoo irritating or hot on the scalp?

No — the chili extract used here excludes the compound that typically causes burning or stinging, so users should not experience spicy sensations. As with any hair product, avoid eye contact and rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.

• Chili used without the irritating capsaicin component.
• Non-irritating formulation suitable for regular use.
• Double-sealed bottle ensures product integrity and authenticity.

How long does the fresh effect last and what packaging details should I expect?

The shampoo provides a refreshed, clean feeling for up to 72 hours when used as directed. Packaging includes two seals—an outer plastic wrap and an inner cap seal—and batch and manufacture date on the bottle base; the product expires three months after opening.

• Freshness effect reported up to 72 hours after washing.
• Double-sealed packaging for authenticity and safety.
• Manufacture and batch codes on bottle base; expiry three months post-opening.

Who is this for? Ritual Botanico Dandruff Control with Mint and Chili is aimed at people who want a plant-forward approach to managing dandruff without harsh surfactants — ideal for anyone with oily or flaky scalps, users of chemical hair processes, and those seeking a gentler daily cleanser that supports scalp balance and hair strength.
