Scalp Balancing Shampoo Moroccanoil
Gentle cleansing that restores balance to the scalp
The Scalp Balancing Shampoo is a cleansing shampoo that cares for the scalp just as we care for the facial skin – it gently removes excess sebum and residue without disrupting the natural oils. Salicylic acid and soothing niacinamide work together to alleviate discomfort and restore comfort to the scalp while providing softness to the hair. It is suitable for both oily and dry scalps.
- Gently yet effectively cleanses the scalp and hair without stripping away natural oils.
- Reduces the appearance of flakes and buildup while soothing feelings of discomfort.
- Salicylic acid gently exfoliates, while soothing niacinamide calms irritated scalp.
- Provides optimal hydration for hair and scalp, leaving strands soft and the scalp balanced and regenerated.
- Suitable for both oily and dry scalp types.
- An exclusive-to-Moroccanoil blend of fumitory and Swertia japonica extracts helps create and protect the optimal scalp environment — the foundation of healthy hair growth.
Balanced scalp, healthy hair
Scalp Balancing Shampoo is a cleansing shampoo that treats the scalp with the same care we give to our facial skin. It gently yet effectively cleanses the scalp and hair without stripping away natural oils — reducing the occurrence of flakes and buildup while soothing discomfort.
The formula is based on an effective blend of ingredients selected for skin care: gently exfoliating salicylic acid and soothing niacinamide. Together, they provide optimal hydration for hair and scalp, making strands soft and the scalp balanced, soothed, and rejuvenated.
This is the signature of Moroccanoil — the iconic Israeli brand that revolutionized hair care by combining luxurious ingredients, including the flagship argan oil, with real, measurable effectiveness.

Results confirmed by studies
The shampoo works most effectively in tandem with the scalp balancing conditioner from the same line. In consumer and instrumental studies conducted after a single use of both products, it was noted: 95% of participants experienced less sebum, 91% reported better scalp hydration, and 88% saw less flaking skin and buildup.
In the long term, the effects are even more pronounced — all participants in the study confirmed that their scalp and hair began to look better and healthier, 84% noticed an improvement in scalp comfort, and 79% felt that itching was no longer as bothersome as before.
