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 and 2026 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.
