A cooling pre-shampoo concentrate for irritated, itchy scalps
René Furterer Astera Fresh Soothing Concentrate is a pre-shampoo concentrate for scalps that feel tight, itchy or irritated, cooling the skin on contact with mint, eucalyptus and camphor before the fragrance settles into a lighter, fresh scent. Applied straight to the scalp before shampooing, it calms discomfort quickly and leaves a refreshed feeling that lasts through the wash.
How it works
A fluid, two-layer concentrate that needs a shake before use, cooling the scalp on contact and leaving a light, minty freshness that fades after rinsing.
Who it suits
- Scalps that feel tight, itchy or irritated
- Hot weather or after intense exercise
- A pre-shampoo cooling ritual
- Sensitive scalps that react to heat or sweat
Worth knowing before you buy: this concentrate contains fragrance, menthol and essential oils, so it is not suitable for broken or very reactive skin; a patch test is sensible for very sensitive scalps.
