Lea Black Beauty® Natural Youth® Root Rhapsody Stimulating Hair and Scalp Shampoo Concentrate

• Organic Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia): Scientific literature frequently discusses tea tree oil's terpinen-4-ol content, which confers its antimicrobial properties. Clinical trials have shown its efficacy in targeting dandruff-causing microbes, promoting a balanced scalp microbiome.
• Organic Rosemary Leaf Extract (Rosmarinus Officinalis): Featured in numerous trichological studies, rosemary's active compounds in this scalp stimulating shampoo, especially ursolic acid, are believed to promote microcirculation in the scalp, potentially enhancing nutrient delivery to hair follicles and promoting healthier growth phases.
• Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract: A polysaccharide-rich botanical, aloe vera's hydrating properties are well-documented in dermatological research. Its molecular composition can form a protective film on the hair, preserving moisture and mitigating environmental damage.
• Hydrolyzed Plukenetia Volubilis Seed (Sacha Inchi) Extract: A staple in nutria-cosmetic research, sacha inchi's hydrolyzed form enhances its bioavailability. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, this shampoo concentrate aids in reinforcing the hair's natural lipid barrier, reducing breakage, and enhancing shine.
• Panthenol: Often referred to as provitamin B5 in scientific literature, panthenol's ability to penetrate the hair shaft and retain moisture has been substantiated in multiple studies. Its presence in our scalp stimulating shampoo ensures improved hair elasticity and resilience against mechanical stressors.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Revered in cosmeceutical research for its high molecular weight, hyaluronic acid's ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water is unparalleled. It creates a moisture reservoir, plumping hair strands from within, leading to a fuller, more lustrous appearance.
• Peppermint Leaf Oil (Mentha Piperita): Beyond aromatic invigoration, the menthol in peppermint oil has been researched for its vasodilating properties. Such an effect can potentially enhance blood flow to the scalp, rejuvenating hair follicles and ensuring optimal nutrient absorption.
• Rosemary Leaf Oil (Rosmarinus Officinalis): Concentrated and potent, the essential oil form used in our scalp stimulating shampoo has been explored in studies for its potential benefits on hair density and thickness. Its active compounds are believed to invigorate the scalp, possibly prolonging the hair's anagen (growth) phase.
• Orange Fruit Peel Oil (Citrus Aurantium Dulcis): Rich in limonene, a compound frequently discussed in cosmetic chemistry for its antioxidant potential, this oil offers a sensory experience and protects against oxidative stress and potential UV-induced hair damage.
• Geranium Oil (Pelargonium Graveolens): Scientifically analyzed for its potential in sebum regulation, its unique phytochemical profile suggests it can help maintain a harmonious scalp environment when added to shampoo concentrate, reducing the likelihood of build-up and associated issues.
• Fir Needle Oil (Abies Sibiricia): Research into essential oils like fir needle points to potential anti-inflammatory properties, making it an asset in scalp stimulating shampoo intended to soothe and calm the scalp, ensuring a comfortable post-wash feel.
• Capryloyl Glycine: Rooted in amino acid biochemistry, this derivative is celebrated for its potential antimicrobial properties, creating an environment less conducive to microbial growth and ensuring scalp health.
• Glycerin: A polyol compound often cited in cosmetology journals, glycerin functions as a humectant. It has a molecular propensity to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, enabling it to draw and lock in moisture, promoting long-lasting hydration at the hair's cortex level.
• Sodium Alpha Olefin (C14-16) Sulfonate: As a top-tier anionic surfactant, its biodegradability and molecular configuration make it a highly effective ingredient in scalp stimulating shampoo for removing oils and dirt. Recent studies have shown it offers a gentler alternative to traditional surfactants, reducing the potential for scalp irritation and ensuring hair retains its natural protective lipids.
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine: Sourced from coconut oil, this amphoteric surfactant is scientifically recognized for its ability to reduce the potential of other surfactants to strip natural oils. Multiple dermatological studies have highlighted its role in enhancing the mildness of personal care formulations, providing a balance between efficient cleansing and skin compatibility.
• Sodium Chloride: Often utilized in dermatological research, sodium chloride plays a pivotal role in modulating the viscosity of liquid formulations such as this scalp stimulating shampoo. Its presence ensures the optimal consistency for even distribution, enhancing the efficacy of active ingredients.
• Potassium Sorbate: An essential inclusion in cosmetic formulation studies, this mild preservative safeguards the shampoo concentrate against microbial contamination, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
  Citric Acid: A naturally derived acid, its inclusion is often dictated by its role in pH adjustment. Scientifically, maintaining a balanced pH is crucial for product stability and to ensure alignment with the scalp's natural acid mantle, optimizing ingredient efficacy.

This shampoo is suitable for all hair types and is an excellent choice for fine or limp hair. This scalp stimulating shampoo is also safe for colored hair.

Shelf Life: 12 months.

1. First, wet your hair with warm water.
2. Next, dispense a small amount of natural scalp shampoo concentrate into your wet palm and rub the concentrate between your palms to emulsify until a lather forms.
3. Massage the lathered product into your scalp and hair. Please note that longer hair may require more product than shorter hair.
4. Let the shampoo sit for up to two minutes before rinsing for a salon-like treatment. During this time, you’ll feel the natural ingredients clean, hydrating, and stimulating your scalp and hair follicles.
5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
6. Follow with a conditioner, if desired.
