This aroma gives you the feeling of tranquillity, taking you on a free-spirited journey to a serene destination.

The freshness of the smell gets all of us ready for summer”

“Gallinée launched the first prebiotic range to gently care for hair and balance your scalp’s microbiome. Traditional shampoos and conditioners may make you wash your hair more often due to the increased sebum production caused by ingredients such as traditional surfactants and sulphates. The scalp’s microbiome plays a crucial role in the regulation of sebum, when unbalanced it can lead to itchiness, dandruff and even hair loss. So, it makes sense to take care of it. A lightweight oil-free serum enriched with fermented rice water and our special pre and postbiotic complex, which smoothes hair and leaves it glossy. Sulfate-free, oil-free, silicone-free and dermatologically tested. Suits all hair & scalp types, even the most sensitive ones.”
