The Shampoo That Gets Me: Why I Love The Dermtropics Raw Coconut + Aloe Vera Moisturizing Shampoo

Let's talk about hair, but specifically, let's talk about scalp. An often-overlooked realm of our beauty routine, the scalp is literally the foundation of your hair. And if your foundation isn't happy, believe me, it will let you know.

My Sensitive Scalp Saga

I've been on a lifelong journey with my sensitive scalp. We're talking about itchiness and, more frustratingly, open sores when it’s irritated. My scalp reacts like it's been personally offended by most hair care products on the market. Add to this equation my super fine and thinning hair, and you'll see why conditioner is usually a no-go for me; it just flattens my hair and creates an oil slick on my scalp.

What attracted me to Dermtropics, aside from its commitment to clean and sustainable beauty, is its focus on raw ingredients like wet-milled virgin coconut oil. No fluff or unecessary ingredients—just real, mindful beauty.

The Low-Foaming Miracle

Now, onto my latest find that's become an integral part of my haircare routine: Dermtropics Raw Coconut + Aloe Vera Moisturizing Shampoo (P350 / 50ml and P1,200 / 500ml). Yes, it's low-foaming, low pH, fragrance-free, and yes, it’s fantastic. The lack of foam initially made me skeptical. I mean, how can something that doesn't lather like a soapy cloud actually clean my hair? But patience is key here. Instead of adding more shampoo in a lather-less panic, just add more water. You'll feel a subtle form of lathering, and that's your cue.

Once rinsed, it's like my hair and scalp exhale a sigh of relief. The oil, the dirt—they're all washed away. What's left is moisturized, rejuvenated hair, and, most importantly, a soothed scalp. It’s the kind of clean that respects your scalp's natural barriers.

This shampoo feels more like conditioner at first except that it is an effective cleanser. I have frizzy hair but this helps to tame it due to its moisturizing ingredients. It has now earned a spot in my carefully curated rotation of hair products!

Who Is This For?

If you've got a scalp that throws a fit at the slightest provocation—like mine—or if your hair is fine and tends to dry out easily, this shampoo might just end your search. It cleanses without stripping, moisturizes without greasiness, and soothes without being overly medicinal.

So, if you’re looking for a shampoo that harmonizes with your hair type and scalp needs, Dermtropics Raw Coconut + Aloe Vera Moisturizing Shampoo is a solid recommendation. It’s a gentle yet effective solution that meets you—scalp, hair, and all—in the middle.
