Recommended Mesh Size for Scalp Scrub
When choosing a mesh size for a scalp scrub, it is best to select a finer particle size to ensure gentle exfoliation and minimize the risk of irritation, as the scalp is generally more sensitive than the skin on the body.
Based on the available sizes:
- 80-100 Mesh (ID 32589): This is the most recommended size for a scalp scrub. It is the finest grade, providing the gentlest exfoliation, similar to what is recommended for facial skin. This is ideal for sensitive scalps or for frequent use.
- 60-80 Mesh (ID 32587): This size can be used for a more intensive scrub, especially for users with a less sensitive scalp or significant product buildup. However, it is generally safer to start with the 80-100 Mesh.
- 20-30 Mesh (ID 32588) and 40-60 Mesh: These larger sizes are typically too coarse and are better suited for body scrubs on rougher skin areas. They should be avoided for the scalp.
Usage Rate: The recommended usage rate for the Camellia (Tea) Seed Scrub is 1-15% of the total formula, depending on the desired scrubbing performance.
