Cleansing
What does the product description say?
intensely cleansing sea-salt scalp scrub that refreshes the scalp
Source: Sephora CA
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamide mipa, coco-betaine, decyl glucoside, glyceryl olivate, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, polyglyceryl-4 oleate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-betaine, decyl glucoside

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
exfoliating scalp scrub
Source: Sephora CA
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration
