Hair care is never one-size-fits-all. From oily hair to dry scalps, hair loss to dandruff, every concern requires a specific approach. Choosing the right shampoo is more than preference — it’s essential for maintaining healthy, resilient hair and a balanced scalp.
At Stream2Sea, our shampoos are designed with science-backed, reef safer and biodegradable ingredients that cleanse effectively while protecting the planet. Whether you’re managing oily roots, dry scalp, or hair thinning, our eco-conscious formulations are tested to perform in both fresh and saltwater environments — making them perfect for everyday use or adventure.
Shampoos for Oily and Greasy Hair
Excess oil on the scalp can make your hair appear greasy or limp — often due to overactive sebaceous glands influenced by hormones, stress, or harsh cleansers. The goal isn’t to strip your scalp dry but to restore balance.
Stream2Sea’s Biodegradable Shampoo & Body Wash offers a lightweight, ocean-safe cleanse that removes buildup and excess oil without over-drying. The formula is enriched with:
-
Green tea extract, a natural antioxidant that helps balance oil production.
-
Aloe vera, which soothes the scalp while maintaining hydration.
Unlike conventional shampoos that contain sulphates or silicones, this biodegradable blend gently refreshes your hair and scalp while preserving essential moisture.
“A healthy scalp is a balanced scalp. That’s why we avoid harsh surfactants — they disrupt the skin barrier and often lead to even more oil production,”
— Autumn Blum, Founder & Cosmetic Chemist, Stream2Sea.
If you’re searching for an eco-friendly shampoo for oily hair that performs without compromise, Stream2Sea delivers a gentle, non-greasy lather ideal for both men and women.
Itchy or Dry Scalp: Soothing Relief
An itchy or dry scalp can be caused by environmental stressors, product buildup, or mild irritation. Hydration and barrier repair are key.
Stream2Sea’s natural formula, enriched with aloe vera, olive leaf, and wakame seaweed, helps calm the scalp and replenish moisture. These plant-powered ingredients provide gentle cleansing without stripping natural oils — making it a top choice for those seeking a shampoo for itchy or sensitive scalps.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), avoiding synthetic fragrances and parabens is essential to reduce scalp irritation. Stream2Sea’s shampoo meets these clean ingredient standards and is independently tested for biodegradability and aquatic safety.
“Our botanical ingredients not only soothe the skin but are verified to break down safely in marine environments,”
— Autumn Blum, Stream2Sea.
Hair Growth and Hair Loss: Strengthening from the Root
Hair thinning and loss can result from genetics, stress, age, or nutrition. While no shampoo can fully reverse hair loss, maintaining a healthy scalp environment can improve resilience and density.
Stream2Sea’s shampoo is fortified with hydrolyzed keratin, vitamin B5 (panthenol), and biodegradable coconut esters that strengthen the hair shaft while promoting scalp health.
These ingredients support improved elasticity and moisture retention, reducing breakage and giving hair a fuller, more vibrant appearance. It’s suitable as a men’s hair thickening shampoo or for anyone seeking stronger, more resilient strands.
A 2022 Journal of Cosmetic Science study found that keratin-enriched shampoos significantly enhance tensile strength and reduce hair fiber damage — aligning perfectly with Stream2Sea’s science-first approach.
Tackling Dandruff and Alopecia: Gentle Assistance
Dandruff and alopecia (patchy hair loss) can affect confidence and scalp comfort. Addressing these conditions requires products that gently restore balance without irritation.
Stream2Sea’s shampoo incorporates natural anti-inflammatory and antifungal botanicals such as:
-
Olive leaf extract – helps reduce microbial buildup.
-
Tulsi leaf (holy basil) – supports scalp detoxification.
-
Wakame seaweed – rich in minerals that promote scalp circulation and barrier recovery.
Together, these ingredients help cleanse flakes, reduce irritation, and improve scalp resilience.
For those with alopecia, consistent use of gentle, biodegradable surfactants can promote better scalp conditions for regrowth support. Ingredients like Aloe barbadensis and hydrolyzed keratin enhance hydration and follicle health without harsh residues.
“According to NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program, ingredients from personal care products often end up in our waterways. Reef safer hair care is not just better for the ocean — it’s healthier for you too,”
— Dr. Craig Downs, Marine Scientist, Haereticus Environmental Laboratory.
