Frequently asked questions
The rich base of petroleum jelly and paraffin oil forms a protective layer that keeps moisture in the scalp, while shea butter and lanolin soften. The sulphur fights dandruff and the menthol gives a cooling feeling that relieves itching.
Petroleum jelly and paraffin oil to lock in moisture, shea butter and lanolin to soften, sulphur against dandruff, and menthol and peppermint oil to cool. The cream contains lanolin and limonene, so avoid it if you're sensitive to either.
This cream is meant for scalp care and doesn't work as a heat protectant for your lengths. So always use a separate heat protection spray in your hair before styling with a hairdryer or straightener.
Yes, but apply it only to the scalp, not the lengths. The base is rich, so a little goes a long way – too much can make fine hair flat.
A very small amount is enough as the formula is rich, concentrated and long-lasting. Start with a pea-sized dab and add more if your scalp feels extra dry.
As the cream is mainly massaged into the scalp, it doesn't affect your hair colour. You can safely use it whether your hair is completely natural or chemically treated.
Yes, that's where it does the most good. Follow the braids or partings and apply the cream directly to the scalp with your fingertips – it reaches the dry areas without you having to take your hair down.
Use it daily or whenever your scalp feels dry or itchy. With braids, a weave or a sew-in, a few times a week is often enough.
No, wash as usual. Because the cream is rich, it can build up over time – a gentle wash with Royal Scalp Cleanditioner removes the residue without drying out your scalp.
Store the tube in a dry bathroom cabinet or another cool place away from direct heat. If you apply it generously just before bed, we recommend wearing a sleep cap to avoid stains on your pillowcase.
