This product provides a non-petroleum-based, breathable oil therapy for the affected areas of the scalp. It is hydrophilic (water loving!) and interacts with the warm, moist scalp environment by becoming water soluble. It then partly evaporates and is partly absorbed into the scalp. It protects the delicate pH balance of the scalp, but will not clog pores. It allows the scalp to breathe and washes completely out with each shampooing. Also relieves tender and itchy scalp. Store in a cool, dry place. (4oz.)
