Your Best Defense Against Dandruff: Better Roots RootBoost Serum
If you struggle with dandruff, you're not alone. Studies show that nearly 50% of adults experience dandruff at some point. The good news is relief and defense are possible with the Better Roots RootBoost Serum, thanks to its clinically proven, dandruff-fighting ingredient, Salixin.
Let's do a quick Dandruff 101 to understand what causes this flaky frustration.
Dandruff manifests as flaky, itchy skin on the scalp often caused by the presence of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia that feeds on the oils on your scalp (sounds gross, we know)! Malassezia is quite the party crasher, thriving thanks to the many sebaceous oil-producing glands on your scalp. When this little fungus breaks down the scalp's oils, it leaves behind oleic acid, which many people are sensitive to. Your body, being the good host it is, reacts to this acid by rapidly renewing skin cells, leading to—you guessed it—dandruff. Other factors that can lead to dandruff include dry skin, sensitivity to certain hair products, medical conditions like psoriasis or eczema, and a diet lacking in essential nutrients.
Better Roots RootBoost Serum x Salixin
Our clean, scalp wellness and hair growth support serum features Salixin, a clinically studied ingredient derived from organically grown and sustainable Danish Purple Willow. Utilizing traditional Nordic fermentation practices, the willow bark is processed in water, resulting in bioactive compounds rich in natural salicylates. These compounds deliver exceptional anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial benefits, making Salixin a powerhouse in combating dandruff and promoting a healthy scalp.
