d'Alba White Truffle Scalp Therapy Shampoo - 275 ml

d'Alba White Truffle Scalp Therapy Shampoo is a vegan scalp shampoo built around the brand's signature trufferol, a blend of white truffle from Alba (Tuber magnatum) and vitamin E. It cleanses on a gentle glucoside base, free from SLS and SLES, while i-menthol delivers a distinct cooling sensation on the scalp. V-Label certified and tested for skin irritation.

About the product

d'Alba is a premium Korean brand inspired by Italy's Piedmont region. At the heart of this shampoo is trufferol, the brand's signature ingredient, combining white truffle from Alba (Tuber magnatum) with tocopherol, or vitamin E.

What stands out just as much is what's missing from the formula. The cleansing base relies on disodium laureth sulfosuccinate and glucosides - lauryl glucoside and decyl glucoside - rather than SLS or SLES. These are gentle surfactants suited to sensitive scalps, which is why the brand recommends leaving the lather on for 2-3 minutes instead of rinsing it off right away.

The formula also carries a long list of botanicals - dozens of fruit, herbal and fermented extracts, from ginseng and turmeric to chaga, sake and natto gum. Every hydrolyzed protein in the mix is plant-derived - from corn, soy, rice and potato - so the vegan claim actually holds up in the ingredient list, which isn't always the case with shampoos.

Who it's for

A shampoo for everyday scalp and hair cleansing, suited to any hair type. It's a good fit for anyone looking for a gentle, vegan formula without classic sulfates and who enjoys a noticeable cooling effect after washing. The brand positions it as scalp care, not just a wash for the lengths.

How to use

1. Thoroughly wet hair and scalp with lukewarm water.
2. Take an appropriate amount into your hands and work it into a lather.
3. Spread evenly and massage the lather into the hair and scalp.
4. Leave the lather on for 2-3 minutes so the active ingredients can absorb. You may feel a cooling sensation on the scalp during this time.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water after 2-3 minutes.

Precautions

• Always rinse the product out thoroughly. The manufacturer warns that leaving the shampoo on the hair may lead to hair loss or discoloration.
• Do not apply to wounds or damaged or broken skin.
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if persistent redness, swelling, itching, irritation or rash occurs, including after sun exposure.
• In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with water.
• The formula contains salicylic acid. Not for use on children under 3 years old.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Storage

Keep away from high and low temperatures and direct sunlight. The manufacturer notes that the product's colour may change over time - this is natural and doesn't affect safety. Prolonged storage in extreme temperatures may, however, cause changes in scent, separation or clouding of the formula.
