004 Detox Deep Cleansing Lotion

Does your scalp get oily by day two, itch and flake? The cause is often not the hair but the scalp: sebum, dead skin cells and styling residue clog the hair follicles – an ideal breeding ground for the yeast Malassezia. The Detox Deep Cleansing Lotion 004 from the professional Medline Organic line targets exactly this: it deep-cleanses the scalp, regulates sebum and soothes – for freshness that lasts.

Ideal for you if …

• your scalp gets oily quickly and you have to wash your hair every day
• you struggle with oily dandruff and itching
• your scalp feels clogged and heavy
• you want to optimally prepare your scalp for hair loss treatments

The triple principle of 004

1. Dissolve – salicylic acid (BHA) and sulfur penetrate the hair follicles, dissolve sebum plugs and hyperkeratosis and free the follicle openings.
2. Fight – climbazole specifically inhibits the yeast Malassezia, reduces dandruff, itching and redness.
3. Soothe & nourish – menthol and camphor cool instantly and relieve itching, yeast extract, calendula and chamomile soothe and strengthen the scalp’s protective function.

Plus 15 plant extracts: rosemary, arnica and ivy stimulate circulation, burdock root, sage and lemon regulate sebum, bladderwrack remineralises, pomegranate and pine buds protect as antioxidants.

Backed by science: the key actives of 004 have been studied in clinical trials – salicylic acid, climbazole, menthol and rosemary. All studies in the article →

What you will feel: instant freshness and coolness, a light, “breathing” scalp and hair that stays fresh for longer.

Perfect pairing: for an intensive scalp treatment with the Miracle Scalp Control Peeling 005 and the Neutralizer 006, for gentle hair washing with the Luminox Shine Shampoo 001.
