The scalp health ingredients most brands overlook, and the ones we built everything around.
There's a moment — somewhere between the third "growth serum" that didn't work and the fifth ingredient list you couldn't pronounce — where you stop trusting products entirely.
We built the Essence Scalp Mist for that moment.
Not to impress you with a long list. Not to tingle or coat or promise something overnight. But to give your scalp, quietly and consistently, exactly what it needs to do what it was always designed to do.
It Starts With the Soil
Most hair products treat the hair shaft. The Essence Scalp Mist treats the scalp — the living ecosystem that hair actually grows from.
Think of it like soil. You can water a plant every day, but if the soil is depleted, imbalanced, or inflamed, the plant won't thrive. The scalp is no different. When it's irritated, congested, or starved of the right nutrients, it signals stress — and hair responds by shedding, thinning, or slowing growth.
This is why the formulation isn't just about stimulation. It's about restoration. Balance. Barrier strength. A scalp calm enough to do what it's designed to do.
The Foundation: What Every Drop Is Built On
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) — The base of this formula isn't water — it's aloe. Aloe vera is one of the most studied plant extracts in dermatology, prised for soothing inflammation, supporting wound healing, and helping active compounds penetrate deeper into skin tissue. On the scalp, it reduces irritation while helping the formula absorb rather than sit on the surface.
Glycerin — A humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the scalp's outer layers. Unglamorous and essential. Without it, even sophisticated actives can't function in a properly hydrated environment.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — does the unsexy, essential work: strengthening your scalp's barrier, calming the low-grade irritation most of us carry without realising, steadying sebum so your roots stop swinging between oily and dry. If your scalp has ever felt out of balance, niacinamide is often the missing piece.
Two Stem Cell Technologies. One Formula.
This is where the Essence Scalp Mist earns a seat at a completely different table.
Most brands don't use plant stem cell technology. We use two.
Turmeric Stem Cells (Curcuma Longa)
Not turmeric oil. Not turmeric extract.
When hair starts thinning, something specific happens.
The cells at the base of your follicle go quiet. They stop sending the signals that keep hair growing. They stop receiving the nutrients they need to thrive.
They don't die. They just give up.
This ingredient changes that.
It delivers microscopic messengers — produced by turmeric stem cells — directly into the hair follicle. They wake up dormant cells. Feed them with nutrients. Restart the signals that trigger growth.
Think of it less like a treatment. More like feeding and waking up follicles that had simply been forgotten.
- 52% increase in hair density
- 85% saw visible new hair growth
Wild Olive Tree Stem Cells
The wild olive tree lives for thousands of years.
Drought. Extreme heat. Wind. It survives all of it — because its cells carry extraordinary repair and renewal signals.
We extracted those signals. And put them directly into your scalp mist.
In clinical testing, after just one application:
- Hair 15% stronger against breakage
- 48% more moisture in the hair
- 75% fewer split ends
The Thing Most Brands Ignore
Your scalp has its own microbiome — a living ecosystem that, when balanced, keeps irritation low and conditions for growth steady.
Most scalp products don't think about this at all.
Fructooligosaccharides are prebiotics. They don't introduce anything foreign. They feed the beneficial microorganisms already on your scalp, so the ecosystem finds its own balance.
Less reactivity. Less sensitivity. A calmer scalp — not forced. Just restored.
Rosemary. Done Properly.
You've heard the rosemary story. Maybe you've tried it and felt nothing.
Here's what most products won't tell you: rosemary has to be delivered correctly to work.
In the Essence Mist, it's cyclodextrin-encapsulated — held in a molecular structure that controls release and targets the follicle directly. A 2015 clinical trial found it comparable to 2% minoxidil, without the irritation that makes most people quit.
Same ingredient. Completely different result.
The Builders
Horsetail extract — rich in organic silica, the mineral that gives hair its strength and elasticity. Hair that breaks before it grows long isn't weak. It's under-resourced.
Red clover — isoflavones that support follicle health through hormone-sensitive pathways. Especially relevant for perimenopause, postpartum, or any hormonal shift.
Beet root extract — improves microcirculation. More oxygen and nutrients reach the follicle every time you mist.
Vitamin E — protects the formula and your scalp from oxidative stress. Steady. Always working.
What We Left Out
No silicones. Your scalp needs to breathe, not be coated.
No sulfates. Stripping your natural oils and asking the scalp to recover is a cycle we won't participate in.
No drying alcohols. Short-term lightness at the cost of long-term barrier health isn't worth it.
No parabens.
Every exclusion is intentional. Because a product you can use every day, forever — without dependency or buildup — is worth more than one that works fast and earns only your disappointment.
One Last Thing
This won't work in a week.
A complete hair cycle runs three to six months. Real, visible change takes that long. That's not a caveat — it's just biology.
The Essence Scalp Mist was built for that timeline.
Lightweight enough to use every day. Gentle enough your scalp never needs a break. Effective enough that in a few months, you'll know exactly why it's our bestseller.
Your scalp has been waiting.
Give it what it needs. →
