Ultra-Gentle Paste for Sensitive Scalps

The minimal formula: nothing that could act as a trigger.

Vegan · Best for: Eczema-prone, psoriasis-prone and rosacea-prone scalps

You need

  • 2 tbsp rye flour (patch test first) or 3 tbsp oat flour
  • 200 ml lukewarm water
  • Optional: 1 tsp aloe vera gel
  • No vinegar, no essential oils

How to

  1. Mix to a smooth paste, apply to the scalp, massage very gently.
  2. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  3. Introduce any add-in one at a time, one week apart, so you can spot triggers.

Good to know

  • Patch test rye flour on the inner arm and wait 24 hours — some people react to gluten proteins.
  • Stop immediately if you notice more redness, burning, a new rash, or worsening of an existing condition.
