Formulation Deep Dive
The Calming Scalp Serum by Crown Affair is a water-based, nutrient-dense restorative treatment designed to soothe scalp irritation and restore the skin’s moisture barrier. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of Glycerin and Pentylene Glycol for humectancy, paired with Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) for immediate aqueous soothing. The active performance is driven by a synergistic amino acid complex—including Arginine, Glycine, and Serine—which mimics the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) to support barrier repair, while Hyaluronic Acid and Camellia Japonica Seed Oil (Tsubaki Oil) provide multi-level hydration and emolliency. Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil and Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil are incorporated for their antimicrobial and cooling properties to address flakiness and redness. The formulation is stabilized with Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 to ensure a lightweight, non-greasy viscosity and uses a clean-label preservation strategy featuring Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Benzoate, and Potassium Sorbate.
