VIRTUE Scalp Remedy Shampoo — Microbiome Balance, 8 fl oz | Sulfate- & Fragrance-Free, Gentle Daily Cleanse

VIRTUE Scalp Remedy Shampoo is a sulfate-free, drug- and fragrance-free cleanser that rebalances the scalp microbiome while gently nourishing and hydrating hair from scalp to ends.

This shampoo blends skincare-inspired actives with VIRTUE’s proprietary Alpha Keratin 60ku Clinical—a protein engineered to match the keratin in your hair and scalp—to soothe, fortify, and refresh without stripping natural oils. Designed for daily use, the gentle lather rinses clean while helping optimize scalp pH and support a healthier microbial environment. It’s formulated for all hair types and especially useful for dry, oily, or easily irritated scalps that need thoughtful care rather than harsh detergents.

How does this shampoo support the scalp microbiome?

VIRTUE Scalp Remedy Shampoo aims to create a scalp environment that encourages balance rather than disruption. By focusing on pH optimization and gentle cleansing, it helps maintain the conditions where beneficial microbes can thrive, while removing excess buildup that can stress the skin.

• Formulated to help optimize scalp pH for microbial balance.
• Gentle surfactants produce a light, lacy lather without over-drying.
• Drug- and fragrance-free to reduce irritation triggers.
• Supports a cleaner baseline for follow-up scalp treatments.

What role does Alpha Keratin 60ku Clinical play in hair health?

Alpha Keratin 60ku Clinical is a bio-identical keratin protein that closely matches the keratin naturally present in hair and scalp. In the formula, it helps reinforce strand structure, address signs of damage, and support smoother combing and styling outcomes while the scalp is being rebalanced.

• Bio-identical protein targets weakened or stressed hair fibers.
• Helps smooth the cuticle and improve manageability.
• Works alongside the gentle wash to reduce further mechanical damage.
• Suitable for color-treated and chemically processed hair.

How should I use Scalp Remedy Shampoo in my routine?

For best results, work a quarter-size amount into a lather between your palms and apply to thoroughly wet hair, massaging the scalp to lift impurities. Rinse, then follow with VIRTUE Scalp Conditioner; for an occasional deep treatment, swap the conditioner for an Exfoliating Scalp Scrub once a week.

• Daily use is appropriate, even for sensitive scalps—use sparingly on finer hair.
• Massage gently to avoid irritating sensitive areas while ensuring even coverage.
• Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue that can upset scalp balance.
• Use with complementary scalp products for a full regimen.

Will this shampoo strip color or leave buildup?

Scalp Remedy Shampoo is sulfate-free and crafted to rinse clean without stripping color or leaving heavy residue. Its lighter lather minimizes the harsh detergent feel, so color vibrancy and hair moisture are better preserved compared with aggressive cleansing shampoos.

• Sulfate-free formulation reduces risk of color fade from strong surfactants.
• Light lather removes oils and pollutants without over-drying.
• Ingredients chosen to rinse away clean, preventing buildup on scalp and strands.
• Compatible with color- and chemically-treated hair routines.

Who is this for: VIRTUE Scalp Remedy Shampoo is for anyone looking to improve scalp comfort, reduce irritation triggers, or gently restore balance—especially those with dry, oily, or reactive scalps. It’s a good choice for people who want a daily, fragrance-free option that supports healthier-looking hair while integrating easily into targeted scalp-care regimens and multi-step hair treatments.
