CP-1 HEAD SPA SEA SALT SCALP SCALER

Sold under the Sea Salt name, this is the salt-forward member of the Head Spa scaler group, and its published ingredient list is identical to the base Head Spa Scalp Scaler — sodium chloride ahead of a mild coconut surfactant system, finished with glycolic acid and tea tree. Where the Pink Salt version leans on marine minerals and calamine to stay gentle, this is the tea-tree-and-acid route, aimed at scalps that feel greasy again within a day of washing. Buyers stocking more than one scaler should treat Sea Salt and the plain Scalp Scaler as the same formula under two labels.

Key Benefits

• A high sodium chloride content scrubs loose flakes and sebum crust from the scalp surface
• Glycolic Acid adds AHA exfoliation, which reaches the compacted film that salt alone slides over
• Sulfate-free cleansing from Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coco-Betaine, Coco-Glucoside and Potassium Cocoate
• Tea Tree Leaf Extract with peppermint and rosemary tackles the odour that follows a sweaty, oily scalp
• Centella Asiatica and green tea extracts keep the scrub from leaving the scalp raw-feeling
• Panthenol restores moisture after exfoliation, and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract adds antioxidant support
• Low-foam gel texture lets a stylist see and feel exactly where product has been applied during a head spa service

When to Use

Once or twice weekly as the wash-day cleansing step, not on top of a normal shampoo wash. The customer profile is the fast-oiling scalp: roots greasy by the next morning, flaking along the parting, noticeable odour, or heavy residue from gels and waxes. For MENA assortments, the Sea Salt label is the easier of the two to explain at retail — salt type on the front of the bottle does the positioning work — while the plain Scalp Scaler suits professional and salon back-bar listings.

How to Use

• Soak the scalp with warm water before applying anything.
• Dispense a small amount onto the scalp along partings rather than into the hair.
• Work it in with fingertip circles for two to three minutes.
• Rinse out completely with plenty of warm water.
• Condition the lengths only, and keep use to one or two washes a week.

Precautions

Glycolic acid makes this an AHA product, not just a salt scrub, so the usual acid rules apply: nothing on broken, scratched or inflamed scalp, and a few days' wait after colour, perm or relaxer. Exposed scalp along partings and in thinning areas can be temporarily more sun-sensitive after an AHA exfoliation, so keep the head covered or out of strong sun that day. Use fingertips, not nails — salt plus nails is how people end up with a sore scalp. Do not combine it with the Peeling Ampoule, Peeling Shampoo or Pink Salt scaler in one session. The product is fragranced and contains tea tree and peppermint, which can sting sensitive scalps; patch test behind the ear before first use. Rinse thoroughly, avoid the eyes, and discontinue if irritation or persistent redness develops.
