Cleansing ritual before you reach for shampoo
Purifying Pre-Wash Scalp Scrub is a scalp exfoliator formulated with argan shell powder that gently polishes the scalp – without the aggressive action of some traditional exfoliants. It effectively removes buildup that can negatively affect the condition of the scalp and hair over time: dead skin cells, environmental pollutants, and styling product residues.
Used before shampooing, it helps achieve a softer, smoother scalp, gives hair elasticity, and refreshes it from the very roots. This is a ritual in the spirit of Moroccanoil – the iconic Israeli brand known for formulas built around argan oil, combining luxurious ingredients with real effectiveness.

A plant blend available exclusively at Moroccanoil
At the heart of the formula is a powerful blend of fumitory and Swertia japonica extracts along with bioactive antioxidants, which helps soothe discomfort and creates the optimal environment for the scalp – the foundation of healthy hair growth. The scalp care collection is rounded off with an aromatherapeutic note of lavender, tea tree and bergamot, thanks to which everyday hair washing takes on the character of a spa ritual.
The effects were confirmed in an independent consumer study: after just one use, the scalp is noticeably cleaner, and after three applications, most participants observe a significant improvement.
