Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Hair — Pink Grapefruit, 12 fl oz, pH-Balanced Non-Sulfate Formula

Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Pink Grapefruit Clarify & Shine Shampoo is a pH-balanced, non-medicated clarifying shampoo formulated without sulfated surfactants to gently remove oil and product buildup while preserving color-treated hair.

This lightweight clarifying formula targets greasy hair and scalp residue without the stripping feel of traditional sulfated shampoos. Infused with pink grapefruit extract, the shampoo refreshes the scalp and adds surface shine while avoiding parabens, phthalates, SLS and SLES. It’s intended for regular use as a cleansing step to restore manageability and support a balanced scalp environment across hair types.

How does this shampoo clear oil and buildup without drying my hair?

The formula uses gentle, non-sulfated surfactants and a pH-balanced base to lift sebum, styling product residue and environmental grime without aggressively stripping natural moisture. It’s designed to rinse clean while maintaining softness and color integrity.

• pH-balanced cleansing to protect the scalp barrier
• No sulfated surfactants (SLS/SLES) that commonly cause dryness
• Lightweight feel preserves hair manageability and softness
• Safe for color-treated hair when used as directed

When should I use this clarifying shampoo in my routine?

Use it as a regular clarifying step—weekly or as needed—depending on how quickly oil and product build up on your scalp. It works well as a periodic deep cleanse before conditioning or styling, not necessarily as a daily replacement for your everyday mild shampoo.

• Weekly or biweekly for most people with oily or product-heavy hair
• Pre-conditioning step to boost rinse-out and shine
• Ideal after heavy product use, workouts, or humid days

Will the pink grapefruit scent or ingredients affect my hair color?

The formulation is created to be compatible with color-treated hair and avoids harsh sulfates that can accelerate fading. The pink grapefruit adds a fresh fragrance without aggressive detergents, but frequent clarifying can slightly influence color over time if color protection is a priority.

• Formulated without sulfates to better preserve color vibrancy
• Non-drying design reduces roughness that can dull color
• Use less frequently if you perform color treatments often

How will this shampoo affect my scalp health and daily styling?

By removing excess oil and residue, the shampoo helps maintain a cleaner scalp surface, which can improve hair manageability and reduce limpness caused by buildup. Its nourishing, non-medicated approach supports a balanced environment suitable for everyday styling without harsh aftereffects.

• Removes residue that can weigh hair down and reduce volume
• Leaves hair easier to style and more responsive to conditioners
• Provides a refreshing scent that complements post-wash styling

Who is this for: Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Pink Grapefruit Clarify & Shine Shampoo is best for people with oily scalps, frequent product use, or those seeking a gentle clarifying option that won’t over-dry hair. It suits all hair types, including color-treated hair, and is a practical choice for anyone wanting a lighter, non-sulfated clarifying shampoo to restore shine and manageability without harsh surfactants.
