Aveda, the purpose-driven pioneer of plant-derived, high-performance hair care has launched its latest scalp treatment, thoughtfully designed to target scalp discomfort due to dryness. The NEW Scalp Solutions Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque (RRP £48/€48) is powered by Aveda's Biotech Naturals Moisture Recharge Technology to replenish scalp's moisture barrier by 77%* with skincare grade hydrators. This intensive, multi-tasking, velvety crème masque delivers indulgent, soothing scalp hydration while leaving hair soft, supremely hydrated, and 4X smoother**.

“It's important to care for your scalp daily, like you care for your skin, to set a good foundation for healthy-looking hair,” shared Christine Hall, Aveda Vice President of Research & Development. “Keeping your scalp hydrated and maintaining your scalp barrier integrity is crucial, as dry scalps are more susceptible to damage, stress and premature visible scalp aging which can lead to dry, brittle or thinning hair that lacks luster and can be prone to breakage.”

The scalp lipid matrix, which is found in the upper most layer of the scalp, plays a vital role in preserving scalp barrier integrity by keeping water in and reducing trans-epidermal water loss. If the scalp lipid matrix is not intact, the scalp barrier can become disrupted, leading to the scalp feeling tight, sensitive or overly dry. Aveda's Scalp Solutions Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque works to recharge the scalp lipid matrix replenishing the scalp moisture barrier for lasting scalp comfort from dehydration. The result is luxurious dual-impact soothing hydration for both scalp and hair.

The Scalp Solutions Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque features Aveda's Biotech Natural Moisture Recharge Technology, a rich botanical blend of high-tech skincare grade super hydrators, including vegan squalane.

“Squalane is an important ingredient in skincare and scalp care because of its hydration and moisture replenishment benefits,” explained Alison Pawlus, PhD Pharmacognosist and Aveda Principal Scientist. “Our vegan squalane is derived through biofermentation, using responsibly sourced sugar cane as the starting material. Fermentation is one of the ways Aveda merges modern methods of technology with nature to obtain the best ingredients for our formulations while maintaining our commitment to using naturally derived ingredients,” Alison added, the responsibly sourced sugarcane starter is third-party validated to assess and manage social and environmental risks; including those tied to nature and biodiversity. Highlighting the importance of ingredient transparency and understanding not only what ingredients are in your products, but also how these ingredients are sourced— something Aveda prioritizes with every decision throughout the product development process.

Aveda's Scalp Solutions Hydrating Scalp & Hair Masque allows you to press pause for a spa-like, recharging moment of self-care. Use on wash days in place of conditioner when your scalp and hair need an extra dose of soothing moisture. Apply the masque to your scalp and hair, gently massage in and leave on for 2-5 minutes before rinsing well. In clinical tests, 97% of panelists demonstrated immediate scalp hydration*.
