AROMATICA Lemongrass 7 Vita Shampoo 1L

AROMATICA Lemongrass 7 Vita Shampoo: Vegan Scalp Care in Family Size

AROMATICA built its identity around EWG-green-rated, vegan-certified, sulfate-free formulations before clean beauty became a mainstream buzzword. The Lemongrass 7 Vita Shampoo is their longest-running scalp formula, positioned for oily or combination scalps that need sebum control without sulfate stripping. The 1-liter size is the family-value format, enough for 3 to 4 months of daily use depending on hair length.

The "7 Vita" naming refers to a blend of seven vitamin and amino acid complexes that support the scalp microbiome alongside the hero lemongrass essential oil, which has natural antibacterial properties and gives the shampoo its distinct fresh citrus-herb scent. The formula is certified vegan, free of silicones, sulfates, and mineral oil, and is one of the few sulfate-free Korean shampoos that actually produces a decent lather (through coco-glucoside surfactants).

What It Does

Coco-glucoside and decyl glucoside surfactants cleanse the scalp without stripping the hair's natural lipid layer. Lemongrass essential oil reduces sebum-related scalp odor and provides mild antibacterial action. The B-vitamin complex (biotin, panthenol, niacinamide) supports follicle health and helps with scalp flaking or minor dandruff. Over 4 to 6 weeks of use, most users see reduced mid-day oil and a less itchy scalp.

Who It's For

• Oily or combination scalps: Manages mid-day oil without the stripping feeling of sulfates.
• Color-treated hair: Sulfate-free preserves color 2 to 3x longer than drugstore shampoos.
• Sensitive scalps: No silicones, sulfates, or synthetic fragrance. Clean ingredient list.
• Vegan shoppers: Certified vegan with cruelty-free production.
• Minor dandruff or scalp flaking: Vitamin complex plus lemongrass supports scalp calm.

How to Use

Wet hair thoroughly. Dispense a 10-cent-sized amount into palms, rub briefly, apply to scalp first (not ends). Massage scalp for 60 to 90 seconds with fingertips to lift sebum and product buildup. Rinse fully. Follow with a conditioner on mid-lengths and ends only. Use daily if oily scalp, every other day if normal to dry.

FAQ

Does it lather like a regular shampoo?

Less foam than sulfate shampoos but more than most glucoside formulas. The second wash (if hair is very oily) always lathers better as there's less sebum in the way.

Will this help with hair loss?

Marginally. The scalp health benefits can create better conditions for hair growth, but this is not a hair loss treatment. For serious hair loss, look to dedicated products like Dr.FORHAIR Folligen or clinical options.

How long does 1L last?

Daily use on shoulder-length hair: 3 to 4 months. Every-other-day use: 5 to 7 months. The 1L format is meaningfully better value per ml than the 400ml size.

Is the scent strong?

Noticeable herbal-citrus lemongrass scent in the bottle; fades to very light residual on dry hair. Not a perfumed shampoo.

Color-safe for dyed hair?

Yes. Sulfate-free formulas are gentler on dyed hair, preserving color 2 to 3x longer than sulfate alternatives.
