Benefits
Deep cleansing & detoxifying: The charcoal and scrub particles help remove impurities — excess oil, product residue, dead skin cells, and buildup — from scalp pores.
Helps with oily or buildup-prone scalp: Good for oily or combination scalps, or for those who use many styling products — helps rebalance scalp oil and refresh scalp environment.
Reduces flakes and buildup, refreshes scalp: Can help with flakiness, dandruff, or scalp itchiness related to build-up or excess oil.
Prepares scalp for better shampoo absorption: By removing buildup and impurities first, it allows shampoos and hair treatments to work more effectively afterward.
Gentle & natural formulation: Made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, or petrolatum — more gentle than many harsh cleansing products.
Refreshing feeling: Often leaves scalp feeling clean, refreshed, and lighter — can help relieve itching or discomfort associated with oiliness or buildup.
Ingredients
Bamboo Charcoal (Charcoal Powder) — main detoxifying agent; helps to absorb excess oil, impurities, pollution, and buildup from scalp and hair follicles.
African Black Soap — helps with deep cleansing and clarifying the scalp and hair.
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil) — naturally antibacterial/antifungal, helps soothe scalp, reduce irritation, and help manage scalp health.
Shea Butter (Fair-trade Butyrospermum Parkii) — conditions and helps moisturize scalp/skin, preventing over-dryness after exfoliation.
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — helps to moisturize and condition scalp and hair, enhancing softness.
Plant-derived oils & extracts (depending on variant) — to support scalp nourishment and comfort after cleansing.

Product details
SheaMoisture Bamboo Charcoal Pre-Shampoo Scalp Scrub is a detoxifying exfoliating treatment designed to deeply cleanse your scalp before shampooing. Infused with bamboo charcoal and gentle scrubbing particles, this pre-wash formula lifts away buildup, excess oils, dead skin cells, and product residue that can weigh down your hair and clog scalp pores.
Formulated with African Black Soap, Tea Tree Oil, and nourishing shea butter, this scalp scrub not only purifies but also soothes and balances your scalp environment. It's especially beneficial for those with oily or combination scalps, or anyone who uses styling products regularly. The charcoal works like a magnet to draw out impurities, while the natural ingredients help reduce flakes, calm irritation, and refresh your scalp.
By removing buildup first, this pre-shampoo treatment prepares your scalp to better absorb the benefits of your shampoo and conditioner. The result is a clean, refreshed, and revitalized scalp that feels lighter and healthier. Free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, and petrolatum, this gentle yet effective formula respects your hair and scalp's natural balance.
Suggested Usage
Allergy Information
The scrub contains charcoal, essential oils (like tea tree), botanical oils/butters (shea butter, plant oils), and natural soap bases. If you have known sensitivities or allergies to any of these — especially essential oils, tree oils, or butters — it’s recommended to do a patch test first.
