In another step toward the “skinification” of hair — introducing detailed routines and specialized products in hair care, as seen in skin care — a first-of-its-kind medicated dry shampoo is available for pre-order.
RestoraScalp was created to absorb oils and refresh hair and scalp while managing common scalp issues including dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Created by dermatology physician assistant Erica Ramos DMSc, the cosmeceutical product “stays on long enough to treat the scalp effectively and allows users to extend the time between washes without sacrificing scalp health," she says.
RestoraScalp is vegan, cruelty free, color safe, and available in light and dark formulas. Ingredients include rice starch, chamomile, olive leaf extract, arrow root, cranberry seed powder, allantoin, kaolin, green tea, and salicylic acid.
The new cosmeceutical promises to boost volume, protect from UV damage, reduce itch, and absorb oil without drying out hair.
It’s the first product released by Ramos’ fledgling pharmaceutical company Raven Innovations, dedicated to developing over-the-counter products in the dermatology space.
