Evidence, not hype

The science behind every drop

Most tonics do one thing. Scalp Theory brings together three: a hair-specific copper peptide, a gentle exfoliant to keep the scalp clean, and an invigorating refresh.

AHK-Cu
Copper Tripeptide-3

The hair-specific copper peptide (copper tripeptide-3) — a well-studied peptide and the scalp-focused cousin of the GHK-Cu in Copper Theory. Chosen here for the look and feel of a healthy scalp and fuller-looking hair.

Salicylic Acid
Exfoliant

A gentle beta-hydroxy exfoliant that clears away oil and buildup, keeping the scalp clean and balanced so the tonic absorbs comfortably.

Caffeine
Invigorating

A familiar invigorating ingredient that leaves the scalp feeling fresh and awake — the finishing touch that rounds out the daily tonic.

It's not just what's inside

Chosen with intention, down to the glass

Bottled in amber glass that shields light-sensitive copper peptides, with a precise dropper. Small-batch and batch-coded, so every bottle is traceable. Copper peptides work gradually — this is a long-term scalp-care routine, and consistency matters more than speed.
