Healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp — and this shampoo is built for exactly that. The Act Shampoo Extra is a clarifying, scalp-first formula that removes buildup, balances sebum, and delivers active hydration to both the scalp and hair in one wash. Hydrolyzed amaranth protein repairs and fortifies the hair structure, while hyaluronic acid and urea hydrate the scalp at a cellular level. Lactic acid gently exfoliates dead skin cells and balances pH, and extracts of black willow bark, black truffle, and melon soothe, nourish, and protect.

With coconut and broccoli oils for deep conditioning and a prebiotic ferment complex to support scalp microbiome health, this is the shampoo for those dealing with buildup, dryness, hair loss, or a scalp that simply doesn't feel balanced. Suitable for all hair types including colour-treated, fine, and curly. Also available in 1000ml.

Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein — A plant-derived protein complex that strengthens and repairs the hair shaft from
root to tip — particularly effective for fine, damaged, or breakage-prone hair.

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid & sodium hyaluronate — A two-weight hyaluronic acid complex that hydrates both the scalp surface and deeper skin layers — reducing dryness, flaking, and the irritation that leads to scalp imbalance.

Urea — A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the scalp and softens dry, flaky skin — creating a healthier, more balanced
environment for hair growth.

Lactic acid — A gentle AHA that exfoliates dead skin cells and product buildup from the scalp, balances pH, and improves the scalp's ability to absorb active ingredients.

Black willow bark extract — A natural source of salicylic acid that gently clarifies the scalp, removes excess sebum and buildup, and soothes inflammation without stripping.

Black truffle extract — A luxurious botanical rich in amino acids, vitamins, and polysaccharides that nourishes the scalp and
hair, improving density and shine over time.

Coconut & broccoli seed oils — A nourishing oil duo that conditions and strengthens the hair — broccoli seed oil in particular delivers a natural silicone-like smoothness without the buildup.

Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate — A prebiotic ferment that supports the scalp's natural microbiome, maintaining a healthy bacterial balance that promotes scalp comfort and
long-term hair health.
