what are AHAs?

“AHA” stands for alpha hydroxy acids. Famed in the skincare world for their gentle (despite having the word “acid” in the name) exfoliating properties, AHAs are water-soluble acids typically used to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. In haircare, AHAs can help remove dirt, pollutants, and product buildup from the scalp. Our newest dry shampoo launch, perk up plus extended clean dry shampoo, is formulated using a gentle AHA, mandelic acid, which helps keep your scalp balanced when you use it.

Infused with scalp nourishing ingredients (like AHA mandelic acid!), this invisible dry shampoo absorbs and removes* oil, protects against odor, and leaves hair feeling clean.
