Formulation Deep Dive
The T.L.C. Happi Scalp Scrub by Drunk Elephant is a high-performance chemical and physical exfoliant designed for advanced scalp resurfacing. The formulation utilizes a complex water-based carrier system featuring Cellulose Acetate as the primary mechanical exfoliant, supported by a rich humectant profile of Glycerin and Propanediol to mitigate transepidermal water loss during the treatment. The active performance is driven by a synergistic AHA/BHA blend of Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid to dissolve dead skin cells and sebum, while a comprehensive amino acid complex (including Arginine, Glycine, and Histidine) provides essential structural support. This acidic system is stabilized with a robust polymer network of Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer and utilizes a reliable preservation blend of Phenoxyethanol and Caprylyl Glycol to ensure long-term formula integrity.
