Contents of this article
Key takeaways from this article
- The Hydrolytic® Serum can be used once a week as a scalp treatment to support scalp health.
- Like other parts of the body, the scalp can suffer from dryness, excess oil and buildup, so supporting the scalp microbiome matters for scalp health.
- You can leave the serum in, or apply it before a sauna session.
- If you have sensitive skin or a skin condition, consult a dermatologist before using Hydrolytic® products on your scalp.
Understanding Scalp Health
The scalp, much like any other skin on your body, can suffer from dryness, excess oil, and buildup of dead skin cells. Dandruff and its itchiness are associated with an imbalance in the scalp’s fungi and bacteria (Saxena et al., 2018; Grimshaw et al., 2019), and washing too rarely is linked with poorer scalp condition (Punyani et al., 2021). A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair: dandruff severity has been linked with more hair shedding (Piérard-Franchimont et al., 2006), and improving scalp condition has been shown to reduce shedding (Davis et al., 2021).
Why Are The Hydrolytic® Products Optimal For Scalp Health?
Tailored for the scalp’s microbiome
fjör’s Hydrolytic® products are made with your unique microbiome in mind. They are designed to support the balance of its natural flora, helping to keep the scalp hydrated and comfortable.

The Hydrolytic® products are enriched with hydrating ingredients that help maintain moisture levels on the scalp. Regular hydration helps keep the scalp healthy and comfortable.
