What the gurus are saying

The shampoo cleanses thoroughly without stripping hair while earning praise from experts for its sensorial quality and pleasant rosemary fragrance that appeals to those who enjoy scented products. However, the formula triggers scalp irritation for some reviewers, so those with sensitive scalps should patch-test first before using regularly. The majority who reviewed it report an excellent overall experience.

"I really like Necessary's rosemary shampoo. I think it's a phenomenal product, it has a nice sensorial to it, and [...] overall the experience is really good. It leaves my hair feeling very clean but not overly stripped."

"We've been loving the rosemary shampoo from Necessary. We're big fans of Necessary in general. [...] The rosemary one is not fragrance-free, but it has just such a nice scent."

"This Nécessaire Rosemary shampoo and conditioner is already in my hair care routine, both my husband and I use it. I can't speak yet to whether it's helping strengthen my hair or my hair growth because it's newer in my routine, but the experience of it is fabulous. I love how my hair feels and looks and it smells really good because of the Rosemary, so I was happy to see it win an award."

"I have to say that I can't recommend the Necessaire Rosemary Mint Shampoo that came out about six or eight months ago because honestly it feels like it's irritating my scalp. It might be the rosemary in here so I'm going to have to put this aside."

"Another way I'm considering introducing rosemary into my hair care routine is to try the new Nécéssaire Rosemary shampoo and conditioner. I think the option of a shampoo that's preformulated as opposed to me dropping in some drops into my OGX pre-cleanse oil might be a better option, especially since my scalp seems to be a little bit on the sensitive side lately. I think it's going to be a more consistent and maybe less irritating way to introduce rosemary oil."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
