THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GALANGAL
What does it look like?
THE PROPERTIES OF GALANGAL
Why is it so effective against visible flakes?
The appearance of flakes is the result of an abnormal shedding of epidermal cells on the scalp. Cells multiply too quickly and do not allow time for dead cells to be eliminated as they grow. This phenomenon is reinforced by an imbalance in the microbiome of the scalp and by the proliferation of Malassezia fungi.
This is where Galangal (Alpinia Galangal) comes in: used in traditional Chinese medicine, its cleansing properties, purifying and soothing action is particularly effective against visible flakes. This natural extract will rebalance and purify the scalp while instantly removing visible flakes with a long-lasting effect. Your hair will be free of flakes.
