Solésence recently announced Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen, an innovative product that recognizes the important role sun protection plays in skin health and, as a result, overall hair health. Scalp Screen streamlines hair routines with Kleair, Solésence’s award-winning, globally patented platform that transforms the way zinc oxide functions. Aligned with the multifunctional solutions consumers want to address multiple concerns at once, Scalp Screen shields the delicate scalp from more than 97% of UV radiation while binchotan white charcoal and microzest bamboo absorb excess oil and sweat, and on top of that, niacinamide soothes itchiness and irritation.
Solésence's Scalp Screen Dry Shampoo SPF 45+ Sunscreen was named a finalist for the 2026 Cosmopack Award for Best Formulation at Cosmoprof Las Vegas.
