Desert Essence Scalp Care Conditioner, 8 fl oz

Desert Essence Scalp Care Conditioner is labeled Dry Scalp Care Conditioner on the pictured 8 fl oz tube. This rinse-out conditioning step brings together aloe, jojoba oil, coconut oil and chicory-derived inulin, with tea tree and manuka oils in the botanical blend.

A rinse-out step after shampooing

Use this conditioner on wet hair after shampooing, gently massaging it into the scalp before rinsing. Its short 1–2-minute contact time makes it a straightforward addition to a wash-day routine, rather than an overnight or leave-in treatment.

Aloe, jojoba and chicory-derived inulin

The published formula includes aloe leaf juice, jojoba seed oil, glycerin, coconut oil and inulin from chicory. Tea tree, manuka, rosemary and peppermint oils appear alongside menthol, nettle and horsetail extracts.

Those aromatic oils mean this is not a fragrance-free conditioner. Lactic acid is also listed, and the manufacturer includes an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) sunburn alert for this product.

Directions and important precautions

After shampooing, apply to wet hair and massage gently into the scalp. Leave on for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. The manufacturer recommends using it with Desert Essence Dry Scalp Care Shampoo, which is sold separately.

Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Sunburn alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.
