Hemp & Coconut Milk Scalp Soothing Mask
Coconut's antimicrobial lauric acid combined with hemp's anti-inflammatory omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids gives this mask a dual mechanism for inflamed, itchy scalp conditions, addressing both microbial balance and inflammation in one treatment, more comprehensive than either milk used alone elsewhere in the book.
