Shea Moisture Anti-Dandruff Leave-In Scalp Treatment 4 oz — Apple Cider Vinegar & Salicylic Acid, Soothing Lightweight Formula

This lightweight 4 oz leave-in targets scalp discomfort and flaking with a blend of apple cider vinegar, salicylic acid, vitamin B3, and sustainably sourced shea butter. It's formulated to provide an immediate calming sensation on contact and ongoing support against dandruff signs while you wear your hair. The non-greasy texture absorbs quickly so you can style right after application without residue or heavy buildup.

How quickly will this leave-in soothe itch and irritation?

You should feel a cooling, calming sensation right after massaging a small amount into the irritated areas of your scalp. The formula combines ACV for balancing and salicylic acid to help exfoliate scalp flakes, providing both immediate comfort and continuing flake reduction with repeated use.

• Instant cooling effect on contact
• Salicylic acid helps loosen and reduce visible flakes
• Use between washes or whenever itching appears

Can I use this when styling, and will it weigh my hair down?

This leave-in is made to be styling-friendly: it absorbs quickly and won’t leave a heavy film or greasy feel. Apply sparingly to the scalp and comb or style as usual; the product works beneath styling products to help manage flakes while you wear your chosen look.

• Lightweight, non-greasy texture for everyday styling
• Works under gels, creams, and sprays without clumping
• Safe for use on many hair textures—follow routine needs

What active ingredients are inside and what do they do?

The formula pairs apple cider vinegar with salicylic acid and vitamin B3, plus shea butter for a soothing finish. ACV helps rebalance the scalp’s surface, salicylic acid supports gentle exfoliation of flakes, and vitamin B3 contributes to overall scalp appearance while shea butter comforts dry areas.

• Apple Cider Vinegar: helps refresh and balance scalp surface
• Salicylic Acid: assists in loosening and reducing flakes
• Vitamin B3 & Fair Trade Shea Butter: soothe and hydrate

How should I apply it for best results and frequency of use?

Massage a small amount directly onto the scalp where flakes or itch appear, then leave it in—no rinse needed. Use as part of your routine whenever you notice irritation or visible flaking; regular application supports ongoing scalp health while styling.

• Apply to dry or damp scalp, focusing on trouble areas
• Massage gently until absorbed; do not rinse out
• Use as needed between washes or after shampooing for maintenance
