    Fragrance free!

    This is an awesome and effective shampoo. No fragrance so it didn't cause me any negative reactions with my sensitive scalp. Plus, I have fine thin hair and a lot of shampoos are too heavy for it—this is perfect though. Cleans my hair well without stripping. Def recommend.

    Clean, fresh and dry scalp friendly!

    This product was absolutely amazing! I could feel my scalp getting much needed relief from one wash. I have extremely dry skin plus my scalp and this shampoo moisturized it and cleaned my hair at the same time. Great pump too!

    Helped more in one use than medicated shampoos

    [California Naturals sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program.] I have some problem dry, flakey spots on my scalp. This helped more in one use than special medicated shampoos did. A lot less flaking and itching. Very mild scent, almost bland, which is nice. Easy to use bottle pump. Suds up nicely and rinses easily. Would highly recommend giving it a try.

    Have psoriasis? Buy this, you won't regret it!

    As someone living in New England, I really struggle this time of year with the harsh winters and super dry air from oil heat. My scalp gets incredibly angry and itchy, and on top of that, I also deal with psoriasis, so finding something that actually soothes my skin feels almost impossible. I decided to try California Naturals Sensitive Scalp Shampoo after being asked to join as a reviewer and honestly, it's been such a relief. After using it, I've noticed a huge difference, I'm not constantly scratching my hairline or the back of my neck anymore, which is usually where I flare up the most. Before this, I was using another shampoo that claimed to help itchy scalps, but it had such a strong fragrance that I think it actually made things worse and irritated my skin even more. This one feels much gentler and calming, without that overpowering scent. Overall, this shampoo has been a great find for me, especially with how sensitive my scalp can get in the winter.

    I will buy this product over and over again...

    So I've been searching far and wide for a shampoo that doesn't dry me out, one that will cooperate with my super sensitive, dry and super flaky scalp... and I believe I have found the answer; California Naturals Sensitive Shampoo... Scent free, so no super heavy parfums, doesnt leave any residue whatsoever on your hair or scalp after use. All in all this product has performed better for me personally then most expensive sensitive shampoo I have tried. I received this for free as a sample to try and I am absolutely obsessed. 10/10 WILL recommend.. I have found my new best friend.

    Soothing shampoo

    This shampoo is super soothing for my irritated, dry scalp. I still have some dryness however I noticed after using for a few weeks that my scalp is less irritated. I love that the lather feels super luxurious! Hair is shiny & not dried out like other harsh scalp treatments and shampoos.

    Great for Sensitive Scalp

    Overall I've been really happy with this California Naturals shampoo. It's fragrance-free and gentle enough for my eczema-prone scalp—it didn't make my eczema worse or cause any irritation. I also have oily skin, and this shampoo cleaned my hair well without making it oilier or drying it out. A great option for anyone looking for a simple, gentle shampoo.

    Great product!

    I really like this shampoo. It works really well for my sensitive scalp. It lathers and cleans well. My hair feels so soft and smooth after using. It's fragrance free and also approved by the eczema association!
