Our take

A gentle, sulfate-free anti-hairloss shampoo the brand aims at new and expecting mothers. It clarifies the scalp and supports fuller-feeling hair with salicylic acid, niacinamide and biotin, lathering well without harsh sulfates, and it is a #2-ranked scalp-care shampoo on Hwahae and 2026 Hwahae award winner. Best for anyone dealing with shedding or an oily, flaky scalp who wants a mild daily wash; note the pregnancy-safe angle is the brand's positioning rather than a medical certification, the fragrance screens higher-risk, and hair can feel stiff, so follow with a conditioner or the brand essence.

Worth knowing

  • Contains a strong fragranceIts fragrance screens as the one higher-risk ingredient, and it also contains salicylic acid and menthol, so patch test if your scalp is sensitive.
  • Can leave hair feeling stiffThe most common complaint is stiff or rough hair after washing, the brand pairs it with a follow-up essence; a conditioner helps.

  • Oily or buildup-prone scalps that want a clarifying cleanse
  • Anyone focused on daily scalp-care and freshness
  • People who like a rich, foaming, non-irritating shampoo

Set expectations

  • Soft, conditioned lengths from shampoo alone — pair a conditioner
  • An overnight hair-loss cure — scalp results build with regular use
  • A long-lasting fragrance — the scent is light and fades
