The hardworking beauty team at Marie Claire spent five months “testing, swatching, massaging and swiping” hundreds of options in a mission to name the finest, most effective products for their 2025 Skin & Hair Awards. And in one very joi-ful moment, we learned that Scalp Vitality Exfoliating Foaming Scrub was tapped as Best Oily Scalp Treatment!
Were we thrilled? Yes. Were we surprised? (Humbly), no. That’s because this hero product, Exfoliating Foaming Scrub — the hardworking “skincare step” in Joico’s Scalp Vitality Collection — is your deep dive into scalp health. Much the same way you first take off makeup, then massage your cleanser into skin, Exfoliating Foaming Scrub goes in with a lush lather to help remove the oil, sebum, and product buildup that can disrupt a healthy scalp. It’s just one more smart component of the Scalp Vitality Collection, designed to unlock and balance your scalp microbiome, the protective barrier that shields the scalp from environmental pollutants and irritants. “When the microbiome is unbalanced, that barrier is disrupted, and can result in dryness, flaking, oiliness, itching, and irritation, all of which can impact hair growth,” says Joico Global Technical Director, Jeannetta Walker-Rodgers.
The result is a scrupulously clean, fresh feel – and a scalp that’s been truly pampered.
Here's why the editors loved it so much…
“This foaming scrub uses natural apricot seed powder to gently massages away all that residue and flakes, transforming into a lush foam to refresh your scalp and hair without over-drying either. Formulated with vitamin-rich stinging nettle, emollient rosehip oil, and pea and vegetable proteins (which mimic the protein found naturally in hair), it will restore your scalp microbiome to its ideal balance and keep your oil in check.”
5 reasons your scalp will thank you for it…
• It’s safe on color-treated hair
• It delivers a refreshing cooling sensation while massaging and lathering
• It can be used in lieu of – or in tandem with – Scalp Vitality Refreshing Shampoo
• It features nurturing ingredients that lead to a healthier scalp
