purifying hair bath for oily scalp

For oily, dandruff-prone scalps where excess sebum drives flaking

Zinc regulates sebum production, biodynamic thyme and nettle purify and rebalance, and burdock and prickly pear help prevent buildup from returning. Scalp is deeply cleansed without stripping, and oil returns more slowly between washes.

with Biodynamic Thyme

Cultivated on our farm in Bologna using biodynamic methods, thyme contains thymol, a phenolic compound with potent antifungal activity that targets Malassezia, the yeast responsible for seborrheic dandruff. It helps control flaking at the microbial level while purifying congested pores.

with Organic Nettle

Nettle leaf is rich in silicic acid, chlorophyll, and formic acid that help astringently tighten sebaceous glands and slow excess oil production. It rebalances the scalp environment gradually, reducing greasiness without the rebound effect of harsh stripping agents.

with Organic Burdock Root

Burdock root contains arctiin and inulin, prebiotic compounds that support a healthy scalp microbiome while gently drawing out impurities and excess lipids. It helps prevent sebum buildup from recurring, maintaining a cleaner scalp between washes.

with Upcycled Prickly Pear

Prickly pear stem extract is rich in betalains and mucilage polysaccharides that calm the irritation and redness often associated with oily dandruff. It soothes without adding moisture that could exacerbate oiliness, keeping the scalp balanced and comfortable.

The ritual.

Apply a small amount to dry hair, using your fingertips to distribute it gradually across the scalp with circular massage motions. Add water slowly while continuing to massage until a creamy lather forms. Let it sit for a few minutes before emulsifying with more water and rinsing thoroughly. For enhanced results, apply as a pre-shampoo treatment on dry scalp, leave on for 2–3 minutes, rinse, and follow with a second cleanse if needed. Use twice weekly for 5–6 sessions during the intensive phase.
