Scalp Scrub Private Label: buyer FAQ
Product-specific starting points for the first brief. Final answers depend on the selected formula, pack and destination market.
How often should a scalp scrub be used?
Usually once a week, before or instead of shampoo. The label should state frequency.
Sugar or salt?
Sugar is gentler and dissolves; salt feels stronger but can sting.
Will particles stay in my hair?
We use a shampoo base and fine particles so the scrub rinses out cleanly, even from thick hair.
Can I make an acid version?
Yes, an acid-based scalp exfoliant can be developed, with pH and acid level reviewed for your market.
Is it safe for colored hair?
Mild surfactants suit colored hair; we confirm with tests on samples if you need the claim.
Can it be sold with a scalp brush?
Yes, as a kit. The brush and scrub are labeled separately.
