Hamburg, DE, September 2022) - Alterna, a pioneer in alternative beauty and luxury haircare, announces
the launch of its newest transformational self-care innovation: Renewing Scalp Care.
This clinically tested collection offers next-level scalp care that brings Alterna's heritage to the ever increasing scalp care market. Renewing Scalp Care is debuting with three vegan formulas featuring
transformative textures and captivating scents that elevate the user experience from routine scalp care to
rewarding and relaxing self-care rituals.
At the heart of each formula is Alterna's exclusive Scalp Moisture Complex, designed from a skincare
perspective to provide a premium care experience that leaves the scalp feeling refreshed and moisturized.
Building on that foundation, the collection reflects Alterna's focus on select ingredients that support
exceptional results. Formula highlights include sweet almond oil, white charcoal, sea salt, peppermint, tea
tree oil, and hemp seed oil.
“Today, consumers are washing their hair less and are over-relying on products like
dry shampoo. This can create excess build up, dryness, irritation, and poor overall
scalp health. Alterna has deep heritage in bringing skincare solutions to haircare, so
scalp care is a natural fit for our expertise. We created Renewing Scalp Care to give
consumers the scalp care treatments they crave with massage techniques and the
Alterna sensorial experience that transforms a chore into a luxurious, rewarding ritual.
This collection is indulgently effective, and infused with two signature aromas:
Hemptation (Chamomile & Bergamot with Notes of Orange, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Fig,
Coconut & Cedarwood) and Invigorating Tea Tree (Mint & Bergamot with added Notes
of Amber, White Tea, Sandalwood and Neroli Petals), helping enliven your senses.”
