Rootstim presents a botanical formulation that utilizes coconut-derived cleansers in place of traditional sulfates. Rosemary oil and Caffeine serve as the primary stimulants to support the scalp surface. The inclusion of Saw Palmetto, Ginger, and Tea Tree provides a targeted approach to managing the scalp environment and maintaining hair retention for those with thinning hair.
The formula uses Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate to create a creamy, non-stripping lather. To ensure the absorption of the botanical actives, the shampoo should be massaged into the scalp and left for several minutes before rinsing. While the formula provides an immediate improvement in hair texture and "lift," the high concentration of botanicals may cause a tingling sensation. To prevent a stiff hair texture, it is recommended to seal the cuticle with a nutrient-dense conditioner after washing.
