SOS : Save Our Scalp

 

Let’s talk about one of the most common scalp concerns—dandruff. While many products can make the problem worse, true healing starts by addressing the root cause. Scalp and skin issues often reflect internal imbalances, like gut health, diet, hormonal changes (including postpartum), and stress.

Healing takes time, just as it took time for the issue to appear. Trust your instincts; you likely have an idea of what might be contributing. By identifying the cause and making small changes, you're on the right path.

Medicated shampoos? They act as temporary fixes and can cause long-term damage. Instead, focus on nourishing and hydrating your scalp with oils and regular washing. Although it may seem counterintuitive, washing more often is key to giving your scalp the care it needs.

It's important to be able to distinguish dandruff vs. a regular flaky scalp. Dandruff usually comes with an oily scalp and we recommend using Warrior Shampoo. A dry and flaky scalp will do best with Luna Clear Shampoo.

 

Here are simple steps for a healthier scalp:

1. Wash more frequently, adding one extra shower per week.

2. Do a weekly ACV rinse before your shower - more info here.

3. Double shampoo always. Warrior Shampoo (for an oily scalp/dandruff) or Luna Clear Shampoo (for dry scalp/flaky) are great, scalp loving shampoos thanks to their amazing herbs.

4. Use any Under Luna Conditioner as a weekly hair mask, overnight if possible.

5. Apply Deep Magic Hair + Scalp Serum for 10-15 minutes before your shower or as an overnight treatment. This has been extremely helpful for any flakiness.


In case you missed it, we've been undergoing a massive rebrand over here. From bottles to packaging to scents, we've been upgrading the Under Luna experience to bring you a beautiful cohesive line of non-toxic plant-based hair and body essentials to bolster your daily rituals.

Why?

As we evolve, so does the brand. Under Luna has come a long way from mixing oils in our founder's kitchen. We saw this as an opportunity to hone in on our current identity (new shapes and colors!), prioritizing comfort (no more shattering glass in the shower!), ease (retail boxes to make shipping and our stockists a little happier), and cohesion (all of our shampoos and conditioners are now the same price across the board!).

We've been working on this vision for the past 2 years, and as we know, a lot has changed from then to now. As a small business, we have decided to swallow additional costs to keep our products as accessible as possible while maintaining our commitment to high quality ingredients and ethical partnerships.

Major Differences?

Packaging

All shampoos and conditioners will be in 100% recyclable aluminum bottles. With an increase in recycling life (infinite!) and durability, we knew that the logistics paired with the ease of a child-friendly and slippery-shower-proof material would be a great choice.

Colors

We updated our branding with some tweaks to the color coding you may have grown used to! The big changes are Tulsi Conditioner now having a mauve colored moon (previously green) and Revive Conditioner having a deep forest green moon (previously light blue). Feel free to reference the diagram on the right for the whole lineup of colors.

Cost + Size

Another change is that we will be offering only one size per shampoo and conditioner. We've opted for 9.5oz (~50 washes) for longevity. All shampoos and conditioners will be available for $38, with a 10% discount applied to those that subscribe.
