The Body Shop Ginger Scalp Care Shampoo for Dry, Flaky Scalp, 250ml Vegan, Soothing

The Body Shop Ginger Scalp Care Shampoo is a vegan, 250ml cleansing formula designed to help remove loose flakes and soothe dry, irritated scalps while leaving hair feeling refreshed.

This bestselling ginger shampoo blends sustainably sourced ginger essential oil with birch bark and white willow bark extracts to target dry, flaky scalps and improve scalp comfort. Reformulated to be vegan and made with around 90% ingredients of natural origin, the shampoo is gentle enough for routine use and pairs with the full Ginger range — conditioner and serum — to support visibly healthier-looking hair when used together.

How does this shampoo address dry, flaky scalp?

The formula focuses on cleansing away loose flakes and calming the scalp surface without stripping hair of moisture. Ginger oil provides a refreshing scent and botanical support, while willow and birch extracts contribute natural-derived cleansing and soothing properties.

• Gently removes loose flakes and impurities.
• Contains ginger essential oil for a warming, fresh aroma.
• Birch bark and white willow bark extracts help soothe and rebalance.
• Vegan silk protein supports hair feel and manageability.

Will this shampoo work with sensitive or dry scalps?

Formulated to be gentle, it is suitable for many people with dry, flaky scalps seeking a soothing routine. If you have very reactive skin or specific scalp conditions, patch testing or consulting a dermatologist is recommended before continued use.

• Made with approximately 90% natural-origin ingredients.
• Vegan formulation, free from animal-derived silk proteins.
• Designed to cleanse without over-drying hair or scalp.
• Pleasant gingery scent for an uplifting wash experience.

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Use as part of a regular hair routine: wet hair, apply a small amount to the scalp, massage to create a lather, then rinse thoroughly. For enhanced benefits, follow with The Body Shop Ginger conditioner and finish with the serum from the same range.

• Apply to wet scalp and hair, massage gently, rinse well.
• Repeat if hair is very oily or heavily product-laden.
• Use alongside the Ginger conditioner and serum for optimal repair.
• Bottle contains 250ml — suitable for daily or frequent use.

Is the packaging environmentally conscious?

The 250ml bottle is made with 100% recycled plastic, including Community Fair Trade recycled plastic collected in Bengaluru, India, supporting plastic reuse and local livelihoods. Note: the lid is not made from recycled plastic.

• Bottle uses 100% recycled plastic for reduced new-plastic demand.

• Committed to ethical sourcing and cruelty-free standards.
• Lid material is separate and not recycled plastic.
