Sensitive or Reactive Scalp

When Colouring Feels Like a Risk

If you have a sensitive or reactive scalp you don’t take colouring lightly.

It’s not just about the result — it’s about what your scalp will go through.

• Itching
  
• Burning
  
• Redness or tightness
  
• Reactions that linger for days
  

Sometimes it happens instantly.
Sometimes it builds over time… until one day, your scalp simply says no.
What used to feel like self-care starts to feel unpredictable — even unsafe.

You’ve Tried to “Go Gentler”

You’ve likely looked for alternatives:

• Ammonia-free”
  
• “PPD-free”
  
• “Natural” colour
  

But still… something doesn’t feel right.Because most of what’s on the market still relies on synthetic chemistry to make colour work.

One ingredient is removed…another takes its place.

The labels sound softer — but the system remains the same.

✧ And your scalp can feel it.

A Different Way to Colour

At Rēcipe Botanica, we don’t try to make chemical colour gentler.

We remove it entirely. Our blends are made from 100% plant-based ingredients — no ammonia, no PPD, no peroxide, no synthetic dyes.

Instead of forcing the hair open, we work in harmony with both the hair and the scalp.
