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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spooge) Las Vegas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 84% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Multifunctional Haircare:** Hybrid scalp products that combine cleansing, oil control, soothing, and UV defense reveal space for simplified routines with premium clinical benefits. - **Scalp Sun Protection:** Greater awareness of scalp vulnerability to UV exposure is expanding sunscreen formats beyond traditional skin care into targeted hair and wellness applications. - **Invisible Mineral Protection:** Advanced zinc oxide platforms with improved transparency and sensory appeal are making mineral SPF more compatible with everyday beauty formats. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Haircare:** Dry shampoos with protective and treatment-focused benefits are reshaping category expectations around convenience, scalp health, and daily prevention. - **Sun Care:** New application formats for SPF point to broader demand for protective products designed for overlooked body areas and routine-based usage. - **Cosmetics Manufacturing:** Ingredient innovation in powders, minerals, and soothing actives supports differentiated formulations that merge performance beauty with dermatological credibility. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Broad Spectrum Spf Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-scalp-and-skin-spray.md) - [Protective Thickening Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-thic.md) - [Broad-Spectrum Glow Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rr-sun-elixir.md) - [Nourishing SPF Hair Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spf-hair-mist.md) - [Powder SPF Makeup Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powder-spf.md) - [Protective SPF Scalp Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bevel-bald-balm-with-spf-25.md) - [Men's SPF Daily Moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-moisturizer-with-spf-30.md) - [Gamified Product Discovery Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-up-in-london.md) - [Protective Hair Powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poof-part-hair-powder.md)
