"I want to start by saying thank you; your oil serum and shampoo really work wonders for dry scalps. I noticed the flakes disappeared after 3–4 days, and after 2 weeks, the redness in my scalp was gone. Almost a miracle!"
"My husband and I are so grateful that we got in touch with Q for Skin. The Intensive Nourishing Serum is excellent for the scalp, as is the shampoo. Today, he is dandruff-free!"
"For the first time in years, I'm not scratching my scalp raw or thinking I have lice..."
"The oil serum and shampoo treatment worked wonders. All my scalp problems are gone. I am incredibly grateful!"
"Magically good! After just a few treatments along with the shampoo, I was almost symptom-free."
“My skin became calmer in just a few weeks — I never thought it would happen so quickly.”
Many hair care products contain sulfates, silicones, or synthetic fragrances. These ingredients can dry out the scalp's natural fatty acids, causing the scalp to overreact with dryness or increased sebum production. Chemical substances in hair dyes and treatments can also dry out or stress the scalp, especially if the skin is already sensitive.
The nutrients you consume become the building blocks that construct your body. If the body doesn't receive or can't absorb all nutrients, organs like the brain, heart, and liver are prioritized. Skin and scalp are at the bottom of the list, so nutrient deficiencies – especially in fatty acids – often manifest as problems in these areas.
Throughout life, our bodies change. We generally find it harder to absorb nutrients, and nutritional deficiencies become more common. In our duo for scalp problems, we therefore provide nutrients directly to the scalp with our oil serum and balance microbes with our shampoo.
During hormonal shifts such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, our skin and scalp change due to our hormonal profile. At these times of life, we are extra sensitive to scalp problems. Q for Skin's scalp duo is effective, but also safe to use throughout life.
Just like the skin on your face, the scalp is affected by seasonal changes, which can manifest as dryness, itching, or increased oil production.
When the body is stressed, the scalp is also affected. Imbalance can manifest as itching, dryness, or sensitivity.
For issues like itching, redness, greasy hair, build-up, or dandruff, we focus on restoring the balance of the scalp. We use a shampoo with microbe-balancing properties that restores the microflora, cleanses gently, and delivers soft, shiny, and beautiful results.
At the same time, we emphasize the underlying cause, often a deficiency of essential fatty acids, and therefore recommend our nutrient-dense oil serum, which supplies essential fatty acids and alleviates issues caused by dryness.
This combination has proven to be very effective in reducing scalp problems, both in the short and long term, so you can enjoy a strong and healthy scalp without recurring issues.
Q for Skin rests on two solid pillars. One pillar is nature – the source of nourishment for the skin barrier. The other is science – safe, well-studied, and with documented efficacy. Every product and finished concept has undergone studies. It's not just quality and effectiveness that are important to us, but also the application experience; it shouldn't be sticky, sting, or itch. Because even if you have dry, sensitive skin, applying it should feel pleasant. By carefully combining safe natural ingredients with science, Q for Skin creates advanced skincare that truly makes a difference.
Q for Skin is driven by a multifunctional and sustainable mindset. This means that the products are designed to be effective, economical, and gentle, both for the skin, the environment, and for future generations. In this way, Q for Skin not only offers visible results but also long-term security and responsibility for the future.
Q for Skin products are specially formulated to support and help the skin regain its natural ability to retain moisture and become resilient. They provide essential (vital) fatty acids and nutrients that the skin needs to rebuild, protect, and balance itself.
Q for Skin was founded on a conviction: the skin needs nourishment to function. Behind the brand is Florence Ellinor Nilsson, a nurse with over 35 years of experience in advanced healthcare. Over the years, she met many patients with skin problems whose entire lives were affected; everything from sleep, relationships, and work to self-esteem. She saw that there was a need for self-care with self-care products. This was the starting point for Q for Skin.
The scalp should have a natural fatty acid mantle that protects it. When we wash our hair with conventional hair care products, this fatty acid mantle is also washed away because these shampoos contain drying cleansing surfactants. Unfortunately, the result is often that the scalp starts to itch due to dryness, but also because the microflora may have been disturbed. This can then become the basis for, for example, build-up, dandruff, and dry flakes. It is also worth mentioning that the skin is deprioritized in a stressed body and therefore only receives building blocks if there is "something left over." Our experience is that when blackcurrant oil is supplied internally and externally, building blocks are supplied to the body so that it can prioritize your scalp.
For common scalp problems, it may be enough to wash your hair with our special shampoo, Quick Relief Shampoo, which helps restore the microflora in the scalp. But if you have problems with dryness and/or dry flakes, we recommend also supplying essential nutrients to the scalp with blackcurrant seed oil. Blackcurrant Oil (unscented) or Intensive Nourishing Serum (with a mild natural scent) helps to alleviate problems caused by dryness.
If you have had problems for a long time and want a more sustainable result, we also recommend Q Omega Supreme internally.
It depends on how long and how extensive the problem is. If you have had problems for many years, it will take longer to get your scalp back into balance. Initially, we recommend massaging the oil in every evening and washing your hair with Quick Relief Shampoo in the morning for the first two weeks. After that, it is individual how often you need to maintain.
We have chosen not to use SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) but SCS (Sodium Coco Sulfate), which is a derivative of coconut oil. This sulfate (washing surfactant) is much milder on the skin and a significantly more environmentally friendly alternative. The shampoo cleans and lathers, but it does not produce as much lather as a traditional shampoo.
If you're used to traditional shampoos, it might take a few washes for your hair to adjust to the milder surfactants.
You should not spray the oil directly onto the scalp. Instead, spray a small amount of oil into your palm, then dab your fingertips in the oil and massage it into the scalp. Do this in the evening before going to bed. In the morning, brush your scalp and hair with a soft natural brush to remove any residue and dry flakes. After the hairbrush massage, wash your hair with Quick Relief Shampoo and, if necessary, apply Q Conditioner to the ends and then rinse it out.
The skin on the scalp becomes stressed due to a lack of natural fats and starts trying to compensate for this, leading to an overproduction of oil. It is also common for the microflora balance in the scalp to be disrupted when it is too dry. We recommend using Intensive Nourishing Serum, an oil serum that moisturizes and alleviates problems caused by dryness. The serum should be massaged into the scalp in the evening and left on overnight.
In the morning, wash your hair with Quick Relief Shampoo, a treatment shampoo that restores the microflora balance in the scalp. Use it as a regular shampoo and preferably wash your hair twice. If you use conditioner, our Q Conditioner is a good option. It is unscented, nourishing, and does not trigger a dry and therefore more sensitive scalp.
