From Clare
Your scalp accumulates things. Product residue, sebum, environmental debris, dead skin cells — it all builds up gradually, and you don’t notice until your hair starts behaving differently. It feels heavier. It looks dull. Products that used to work seem to stop working. Your scalp feels tight or itchy for no obvious reason. That’s not your shampoo failing. That’s buildup asking to be cleared.
This scrub does what your shampoo can’t. Cherry shell powder — the ground shells of sour cherries — provides a gentle physical exfoliation that lifts buildup from the scalp surface without scratching or irritating. Kaolin clay draws impurities from the pores, clearing the deeper congestion that surface cleansing misses. Organic peppermint oil creates the cooling, invigorating tingle that signals increased circulation. And organic shea butter ensures the whole process is nourishing rather than stripping — because the goal isn’t to strip the scalp bare, it’s to reset it to a healthy baseline so everything you apply afterwards works better.
In my practice in Dublin and London, this is the Essential I recommend for monthly scalp maintenance. Think of it the way you’d think of a facial — your face needs periodic deep cleansing to stay clear and healthy, and your scalp is the same skin. Once a month for most clients. Twice a month if you use a lot of styling product or live in a city. The 170ml jar lasts most clients four to six months.
This is for you if
- Your hair feels heavy, dull, or unresponsive despite regular washing
- Your scalp feels tight, congested, or itchy without an obvious cause
- You use styling products, dry shampoo, or live in a city with air pollution
- You’ve noticed your shampoo and conditioner seem less effective than they used to be
- You want to create the cleanest possible foundation for your other hair products to work on
- You haven’t deep-cleansed your scalp in months — or ever
Consider instead if
- Your scalp is currently irritated, inflamed, or reactive — the physical exfoliation may be too stimulating right now. Start with the Sensitive Scalp Shampoo to calm things first, and introduce the scrub once your scalp has settled
- You want daily scalp nourishment rather than monthly deep cleansing — our Rosemary Strength Oil provides weekly scalp support without exfoliation
- Your hair needs deep conditioning repair rather than scalp cleansing — our Intensive Rescue Hair Mask addresses the hair itself, not the scalp underneath
- You want lightweight daily protection — our Keratin Glow Mist adds daily shine and protection without touching the scalp
What’s Inside
A natural exfoliant, a drawing clay, a stimulating essential oil, and a nourishing butter. Four ingredients that reset your scalp to its healthiest baseline.
Cherry Shell
PRUNUS CERASUS
Ground sour cherry shells at INCI position #4 — the physical exfoliant that defines this scrub. Fine enough to be gentle, textured enough to be effective. Lifts product residue, dead skin cells, and environmental buildup from the scalp surface without microplastics, synthetic abrasives, or harsh chemicals. The ingredient nobody expects — and the one that makes this scrub genuinely different from anything else on the shelf.
Peppermint
MENTHA PIPERITA · ORGANIC
The ingredient you feel working. Organic peppermint oil creates a cooling, tingling sensation that signals increased blood flow to the scalp. Alongside organic rosemary oil (also in this formula), it supports the microcirculation that keeps hair follicles nourished and active. It also provides the invigorating freshness that transforms a scalp scrub from a chore into a ritual you look forward to.
Organic Shea Butter
BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII · ORGANIC
The ingredient that tells you this scrub cares while it cleans. Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E, shea butter nourishes the scalp during exfoliation rather than stripping it. Your scalp should feel refreshed and comfortable afterwards, not tight and dry. That’s the shea butter doing its work — ensuring the reset is restorative, not aggressive.
Kaolin Clay
DEEP CLEANSER
A natural white clay at INCI position #3 — one of the most concentrated ingredients in this formula. While the cherry shell works on the surface, kaolin draws impurities from the pores underneath. Absorbs excess sebum, lifts deep-seated residue, and leaves the scalp genuinely clear rather than just superficially clean. The difference between washing your scalp and resetting it.

Your Ritual
Apply to wet hair and scalp. Part your hair into sections and apply the scrub directly to the scalp — this is a scalp treatment, not a hair treatment. Massage gently with your fingertips using small, circular motions. You’ll feel the cherry shell texture working against the scalp and the peppermint tingle building as circulation increases. Take your time. This is a monthly ritual, not a daily rush.
Leave on for five to fifteen minutes. The longer you leave it, the more the kaolin clay can draw from the pores. Five minutes is the minimum for the actives to work. Fifteen minutes is the full treatment — ideal if you can pair it with a bath or the Rosemary Strength Oil beforehand.
Rinse thoroughly, then shampoo as normal. The scrub has cleared the surface and the pores — now your shampoo can do its job on a genuinely clean foundation. Follow with your conditioner or mask on the lengths.
Use once a month for most hair types. Twice a month if you use a lot of styling product, live in a city, or notice your hair feeling heavy between washes. The 170ml jar uses a small amount per application — most clients get four to six months from a single jar.
The Experience
Gourmand warmth with the fresh, aromatic punch of peppermint and rosemary — the same signature as the Rosemary Strength Oil and the KVB duo. Vanilla and tonka bean settle underneath, with powdery sandalwood grounding it all. The peppermint tingle on the scalp makes this feel like a professional treatment. Monthly indulgence that your scalp genuinely needs.
Use Before Any Routine
This scrub is a pre-shampoo treatment — it goes on first, clears the foundation, then you shampoo and condition as normal. It works with every HHE routine because it addresses the layer underneath that every routine builds on.
Follow with your Routine
Sensitive Scalp Shampoo
The most common pairing. Scrub clears the buildup, then the Sensitive Scalp Shampoo calms and protects the freshly cleared scalp. Clare's foundation protocol for scalp recovery.
Keratin Volume Boost Shampoo
Buildup is one of the main reasons hair loses volume. The scrub clears the foundation, then the KVB Shampoo's caffeine and chanterelle can reach the scalp directly. Monthly deep cleanse, daily volume.
Moisturising Shampoo
A monthly deep cleanse before your everyday routine. Scrub, then Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner on a clean foundation. The reset that makes your daily products work harder.
Enhance with Essentials
Rosemary Strength Oil
Apply the oil before the scrub for a double deep-treatment day. Oil nourishes at the scalp, scrub clears the surface, then shampoo washes both away. The most thorough scalp reset in the range.
Keratin Glow Mist
After scrubbing and shampooing, a light mist on towel-dried hair seals and protects the freshly reset scalp and lengths. The finishing step that locks in everything.

This is the product clients notice the most after one use. Not because of what it does to your hair — but because of what it does to everything else. Your shampoo lathers better. Your conditioner absorbs faster. Your hair feels lighter, cleaner, more responsive. Once you’ve experienced a properly clear scalp, you understand why this scrub exists. Most clients make it a permanent monthly ritual.
