Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo

The Rahua Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo is shampoo and scalp scrub in one. The clarifying formula gently frees the scalp and hair from buildup, excess sebum, styling residue and dead skin cells – ideal when the roots quickly feel weighed down or the scalp needs more freshness and balance.

Finely ground star anise and sea salt provide gentle mechanical exfoliation, while mango and passion fruit extracts complement the cleansing process with fruit-based enzymes. Rahua, morete and sacha inchi oils provide hair and scalp with valuable lipids, keeping the lengths soft and conditioned despite the deep cleansing.

The result is a fresher, lighter-feeling scalp and clean, well-conditioned hair with more shine and vitality.

The particular strength of the Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo lies in the combination of scalp care and thorough cleansing. Star anise provides gentle physical exfoliation and helps free the scalp from buildup. Sea salt supports the clarifying effect and gives the scalp a fresh, clean feeling.

Mango and passion fruit extracts bring fruit acids, sugars and antioxidant plant compounds to the formula. They support a well-conditioned scalp environment and help retain moisture in the hair. Rahua oil conditions the lengths, leaving them soft and supporting natural shine, while sacha inchi and morete oils complement the formula with valuable fatty acids.

Hydrolyzed quinoa, glycerin and sugar help the hair surface look well conditioned. Kaolin rounds out the formula and supports the absorption of excess sebum. After use, the scalp feels clearer, lighter and pleasantly cleansed, without leaving the hair feeling unnecessarily stripped.

Key Ingredients

• Star Anise & Sea Salt: Finely ground star anise, together with sea salt, provides gentle mechanical exfoliation of the scalp. Dead skin cells, excess sebum and stubborn styling residue are loosened, leaving the scalp feeling clearer, fresher and less coated after use. This makes the combination especially interesting for buildup, quickly oily roots or a scalp that regularly needs more intensive cleansing.
• Mango & Passion Fruit: The tropical fruit extracts complement mechanical exfoliation with natural fruit compounds and enzymes, supporting the thorough removal of buildup. Mango also provides natural sugars that bind moisture to the hair and support conditioning of the lengths, while passion fruit contributes antioxidant plant compounds to the formula. This combines intensive scalp cleansing with additional moisture and plant-based care.
• Kaolin: This mineral clay has pronounced absorbent properties and absorbs excess sebum and finely distributed residue. It therefore supports the shampoo’s clarifying effect and provides a lighter, cleaner hair feel, especially for quickly oily roots or roots weighed down by styling products.
• Rahua, Morete & Sacha Inchi Oils: The Amazonian oil complex balances intensive cleansing with conditioning lipids. Rahua oil, rich in omega-9, supports softness and shine; sacha inchi provides particularly high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids; and morete oil contributes carotenoids and tocopherols with antioxidant properties. Together, the oils help keep dry or stressed lengths soft and flexible without diminishing the shampoo’s clarifying character.
• Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Arginine & Glycine: The combination of plant protein and amino acids conditions particularly porous and stressed hair fibers. Hydrolyzed quinoa can bind to damaged areas of the hair surface, improving manageability, smoothness and shine. Arginine and glycine complement the protein-based care and support a soft, conditioned hair feel.
• Glycerin & Sugars: These moisture-binding ingredients help retain water in the hair and counteract a dry, dull feeling after deep cleansing. They help keep the lengths soft and flexible despite the more intensive cleansing – especially useful when the scalp needs thorough clarification without unnecessarily drying out the entire head of hair.
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Amino Acid Surfactants: The balanced surfactant combination thoroughly removes sebum, dirt and styling residue from the scalp and hair. Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate as well as Sodium and Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate complement the cleansing with mild surfactants and create a creamy lather – for intensive yet balanced deep cleansing.

Rahua Lines at a Glance

Classic – the all-rounder for all hair types
If you have no pronounced hair or scalp concerns and are looking for balanced care. Rahua oil, quinoa and palo santo cleanse, condition and strengthen without unnecessarily weighing the hair down. Ideal for: normal hair and uncomplicated daily hair care.

Voluminous – for fine, thin or quickly oily hair
The lightest Rahua line for more fullness, texture and volume. It cleanses thoroughly without weighing the hair down and is especially suitable when the roots become oily quickly. Ideal for: fine to normal hair, low volume and quickly oily roots.

Hydration – for dry, thick and curly hair
The most moisture-rich line in the range. Mango, sacha inchi and other plant-based ingredients intensely condition dry lengths, smooth frizz and improve softness. Ideal for: dry, thick, curly or frizz-prone hair.

Enchanted Island – for strengthening, vitamin-rich care
A versatile line for all hair types focused on strengthening hair and intensive plant-based care. A plant-based biotin complex, pomegranate and guava support resilient, vibrant-looking hair. Ideal for: all hair types, especially when strengthening and conditioning are the priorities.

Color Full – for color-treated and highlighted hair
Targeted care for color-treated hair. The line helps preserve color vibrancy, balance unwanted warm tones and protect the hair from external influences. Ideal for: color-treated, tinted or highlighted hair.

Aloe Vera – for dry, irritated scalps
Lightweight moisture and soothing scalp care with aloe vera, witch hazel and guayusa. The line cleanses gently and is especially pleasant when the scalp is prone to dryness, tightness or irritation. Ideal for: dry or irritated scalps and hair that needs lightweight moisture.

Rebalance – for buildup, excess sebum and mildly sensitive scalps
The most minimalist Rahua line: it removes buildup and excess sebum, restores scalp balance and contains no added fragrance. The lightweight care is also suitable for regular hair washing. Ideal for: mildly sensitive scalps that are also prone to buildup or becoming oily quickly.

What about heavier buildup?
The Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo is not a separate care line, but a more intensive addition for occasional deep cleansing. It exfoliates the scalp and is used before regular shampoo when there is heavier buildup. Rebalance, on the other hand, is the better choice if you want to cleanse your scalp regularly.

In brief:
Classic = balanced all-round care · Voluminous = fine hair & volume · Hydration = dryness & frizz · Enchanted Island = strengthening & care · Color Full = color-treated hair · Aloe Vera = dry, irritated scalp · Rebalance = buildup, sebum & mildly sensitive scalp
