Spes Hair Oil Control Sea Salt Shampoo green 280g tub Category-Creating Scalp Scrub
Spes shampoo

Hair Oil Control Sea Salt Shampoo

The original green can is a superb clarifying wash for a genuinely greasy scalp and a poor everyday shampoo for everyone else. Its salt does the work, its zinc salts add a little, and its menthol makes it feel like more than it is. Buy it as a weekly reset, not a routine.

Spes Anti-Dandruff Sea Salt Shampoo blue 280g tub Cooling Scalp Scrub
Spes shampoo

Anti-Dandruff Sea Salt Shampoo

A genuinely clever format — a salt scrub that foams into a shampoo — with a real antifungal inside it, which makes this the one Spes can worth buying for flakes rather than just grease. It is loud, cold, fragranced and stripping, so it suits oily scalps that enjoy a hard reset and nobody else.

Spes Sea Salt Hyaluronic Acid Oil Control Shampoo 600ml blue bottle Everyday Oily-Scalp Wash
Spes shampoo

Sea Salt Hyaluronic Acid Oil Control Shampoo

A perfectly good daily shampoo for greasy scalps wearing a more exciting name than it needs. The salt does not scrub, the hyaluronic acid does not hydrate, but the sulfate-and-silicone base cleans well, conditions adequately and keeps hair fresh until evening. Buy it as the everyday companion to a weekly scrub, not as the scrub.

Spes Fluffing Moisturizing Sea Salt Shampoo pink 280g tub Softest Of The Salt Cans
Spes shampoo

Fluffing Moisturizing Sea Salt Shampoo

The pink can is the Spes salt scrub for people whose hair is longer than their patience with conditioner: same scalp reset, far kinder lengths. The peptides and hyaluronic acid on the label are theatre, but the panthenol and silicones underneath them are not, and that is what you are paying for.

More about Spes

Zhejiang Haomai Technology launched Spes in 2019 as a scalp-first personal care brand and put its first product on sale in January 2020.

The company cites 71 Chinese patents and a joint scalp database with China Pharmaceutical University, and this green-can shampoo is its best-known SKU, though the oil-reduction figures it advertises are from in-house testing rather than published trials.
