Formulated by the National Skin Centre for scalps that itch and flake, the Suu Balm Rapid ItchRelief Scalp Spray Moisturiser soothes and moisturises in under five minutes.
Lately, it feels like everything is conspiring to make me itchy and irritable up there. I will tingle when the temperature rises, prickle when I wear a hat, and sometimes, even just taking a walk leaves me literally scratching my head. While there can be nothing worst than the flaking that comes from getting into that sweet itchy spot (my clothing in an all-telling shade of black has not seen the light of day in a while), I would like to present the term “unconscious scratching.”
Funnily enough, I think it is almost quite primate-like in the proposition: one unconsciously scratches an itchy spot without noticing the sudden snowfall on his shoulders. How is it worse than consciously scratching? One might at least be aware that he has flakes and fuzz on his shoulders and be reactive enough to do something about it. While I have run out of excuses for the slivers on my shoulders (there are only so many times you can blame it on ashes or paint chips), the solution I have found is the Suu Balm Rapid Itch Relief Scalp Spray Moisturiser that has convinced me that the problem is not my actual hair but it is what is underneath it.

“For most people, they realise that they have dandruff when they spot white specks or flakes of skin on their shoulders, in particular when wearing dark clothes, or they notice that their scalp is very itchy. Seborrheic dermatitis is, in a sense, a particularly severe form of dandruff accompanied by inflammation and crusting on the scalp, but the first symptoms are similar.”
“However, one of the first things to check (and you can ask your hairdresser) is that your scalp isn’t dry and inflamed, which can sometimes be managed just by changing shampoo or changing the frequency with which you wash your hair. Given our hot and humid climate, you may need to wash your hair daily — but what you really should focus on washing is your scalp, not your hair!” says Doctor John O’Shea, the co-founder of this medical miracle.

Most importantly, how does the Suu Balm Rapid Itch Relief Scalp Spray Moisturiser work? The answer is as simple as it succinct: menthol oil is used in a moisturising base that quickly quells itching without irritation. One might even notice a pleasurable tingling post-use (spray, massage and really, just call it a day) that is akin to ducking his head into a pool on a hot day.
Sweet, sweet relief. “More recently, scientists worked out that menthol works by triggering little switches (called TRPM8 receptors) on the nerves at the surface of the skin, and this triggering replaces the itch sensation with this lovely cooling, soothing feeling.”
Not to be a downer but I have been conditioned to expect a vis-a-vis when it comes to grooming products. If it works exceptionally and rapidly, there are usually some cons that come with it. The Suu Balm Rapid Itch Relief Scalp Spray Moisturiser, however, has none perfect of the ups and downs of an efficacious and quick working product. Its formulation — the balance of water content, water-soluble ingredients, and oily ingredients — is a fluid that absorbs quickly without leaving stains on one’s clothing (it even works if one is wearing a hijab).
If one shares a sensitivity to scents, the follicle fluid does not leave a trail.

“You might be surprised to hear that it will last three years on the shelf, though we recommend not keeping it longer than a year after opening and using the product. There are no parabens in our product, so we use other ingredients to help keep it free of bacteria and fungi throughout its shelf life. These are called “multifunction ingredients” — while their primary role might be to moisturise or something else, they have a secondary effect that suppresses bacterial or fungal growth.
The scalp spray also has an anti-fungal ingredient in it called piroctone olamine, because one of the causes of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis is a type of fungal growth on the scalp (with Malassezia).”
