L'ANZA Scalp Therapy Balancing Shampoo is a gentle daily cleansing shampoo from L'ANZA's dedicated Scalp Therapy collection, formulated for damaged hair paired with a sensitive, dry, or irritated scalp. Built around a Papaya Soothing Complex — papaya fruit extract plus coconut water — it gently exfoliates away flakes and buildup while calming visible dryness and irritation and supporting a balanced scalp microbiome.
Hydrolyzed vegetable and pea proteins, along with lavender oil and aloe leaf juice, help condition strands as the formula cleanses, and a blend of PCA-based humectants (sodium, magnesium, zinc, and manganese PCA) supports moisture balance at the scalp. Piroctone olamine, an anti-dandruff ingredient, is also part of the formula, supporting its flake-control claims.
It belongs to L'ANZA's Balancing sub-line within Scalp Therapy — a separate Stimulating sub-line targets follicle stimulation rather than dryness and irritation — so it's specifically suited to calming an uncomfortable scalp rather than boosting hair growth.
Apply to damp hair, lather, and rinse.
