In this episode of the Ingredientsage Podcast, we break down the real science behind scalp health, separating research-backed facts from beauty industry myths. Discover how the scalp’s microbiome, pH balance, and barrier function influence everything from dandruff to hair loss, and why scalp care deserves as much attention as skincare.

We dive into clinically supported ingredients like zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, peptides, and botanical extracts, explaining what works, what doesn’t, and how to build a scalp routine that actually supports long-term hair vitality.

Because real results start with evidence, not marketing.
