Frequently Asked Questions
-
How are clean scalp care products different from natural or organic options?
Clean scalp care products are not legally defined and therefore do not have strict regulations set by governing bodies. However, at Credo Beauty, we have developed our own standards for what makes a scalp care product truly 'clean.' The Credo Clean Standard™ ensures that the ingredients used in our scalp care products do not contain 2700+ ingredients that have been deemed potentially harmful to the environment or to skin health. Natural products for scalp health also don't carry strict regulations, but they use natural or naturally derived ingredients. Organic options, on the other hand, have met stringent standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture via the USDA Organic program. -
How do clean products for scalp care differ from regular products?
At Credo Beauty, our industry-leading standards and strict vetting process ensure that the clean scalp care products we offer are effective, safer, and more environmentally responsible. The Credo Clean Standard™ eliminates ingredients known to pose potential health risks or environmental harm. Additionally, we prioritize sustainability and impose rigorous packaging requirements on our brands, helping to reduce the ecological impact of consumer goods. -
What are the benefits of using clean products for scalp care?
The clean scalp products we offer avoid harsh chemicals that can irritate the scalp, using gentler ingredients to nourish, maintain, and hydrate the scalp instead, making them a vital addition to any scalp care routine. Some of the main benefits you’ll experience when using clean scalp care products are an overall healthier scalp, a reduction in redness, less sensitivity and irritation, and improved overall hair health, too. With Credo Beauty, you’re choosing options that are safer and more sustainable, protecting both you and the planet. -
How can I determine if a product is truly 'clean' for scalp care?
Discovering a genuinely clean scalp care product can be tough, but certification boards are here to help. You can make sure your product meets regulated safety standards and is cruelty-free by choosing items with EWG Verified and Cruelty-Free certifications. You can also consider products that have received the USDA Organic certification. Knowing which ingredients to avoid, like sulfates (SLS, SLES), parabens, and phthalates, can also help. Or, you can simply shop with us at Credo Beauty, as all our products meet The Credo Clean Standard™ for worry-free shopping. -
Is it necessary to use clean products for scalp care?
While using clean products for scalp care isn’t necessary, they provide your scalp with a variety of long-term benefits that regular products do not. Conventional scalp care products can contain harmful ingredients such as parabens and sulfates, which can strip your scalp of its natural oils, cause irritation, and prevent healthy hair growth. The clean products we carry at Credo Beauty contribute to your scalp's health and overall wellness, using clean, gentle ingredients to promote healthy hair growth and provide your scalp with all the hydration, nourishment, and care it needs. -
Can I find effective clean products for different scalp concerns?
The clean scalp care products we offer are just as results-driven as conventional options. We have a range of products for scalp health that can be used to target specific scalp concerns such as dandruff, dryness, and an oily scalp. If you have a dry scalp, you should look for products containing jojoba oil, which is well known for its hydrating properties. On the other hand, those with dandruff will benefit more from clean products containing tea tree oil, and products containing natural kaolin clays are extremely effective when used on oily scalps. -
Can I use clean products if I have color-treated hair?
Using scalp care products on colored hair can be extremely beneficial for both your hair and scalp. There are tons of clean products available that are specifically designed for color-treated hair for you to choose from. Argan oil and shea butter are particularly beneficial, as these ingredients help maintain the color of your hair while nourishing your hair and scalp.
