Aveeno Scalp Soothing Oat Milk Blend Shampoo - 12 fl oz
Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This shampoo contains colloidal oatmeal extract, which is beneficial for soothing and moisturizing the scalp. However, it also includes Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, a surfactant that can be harsh and potentially irritating, as it may strip natural oils from the scalp. The product is processed and lacks the gentle, natural surfactants found in higher-rated shampoos, which limits its overall score.
