SCALPINIST^®-SENSO is a unique active ingredient designed for sensitive-oily scalp. Its novel and holistic approach aims to alleviate scalp discomfort within two weeks by restoring balance to the disturbed micro biome and reducing scalp sebum through a simple rinse-off application. It is obtained by extracting Maclura cochinchinensis leaves, rich in prenylated bioflavonoids.

Individuals with scalp sensitivity experi ence sensations of discomfort, irritation and itchiness in response to stressors that would not typically trigger such reactions. Unexpectedly, excessive oiliness, has been clearly established to the sensitive scalp condition. As the sebum production is part of the skin’s protective system, it seems logical that the sebaceous glands would respond to stress by increasing sebum pro duction. An overly oily scalp contributes greatly to disruptions in the microbiome, namely Cutibacterium acnes overgrowth, to supporting inflammation and to the result ing sensations of discomfort.

Clinical rinse-off studies have shown that SCALPINIST^®-SENSO significantly reduces scalp sebum and slows the re-greasing of the scalp after washing. Moreover, the active restores scalp balance by alleviating feelings of discomfort. By decreasing sebum production, SCALPINIST^®-SENSO directly influences the scalp microbiota, restoring its balance. In fact, in-vitrostudies confirm the inhibition of Cutibacterium acnes. Anti-inflammatory activity is evident through the inhibition of pro-inflamma tory enzymes COX-1, COX-2 and 5-LOX. This goes in line with reduced discomfort as shown in the clinical studies. Overall, SCALPINIST^®-SENSO comprehensive ly addresses all factors contributing to sensitive scalp development, offering a complete solution to this issue.
