Evo Home Base Scalp Serum is a small-but-mighty leave-on serum that delivers instant hydration, oil balance, and scalp relief - no rinse required. Built around the Evo Scalp Complex (a blend of piper nigrum berry, inga alba bark, and sodium lauroyl lactylate), it works to strengthen the scalp barrier, reduce dryness and flakiness, ease itchiness, and keep the scalp's natural oil levels from tipping too far in either direction. The ultra-lightweight formula absorbs fast and dries completely invisible - no residue, no greasiness, no interference with your styling products.
Cooling eucalyptus, peppermint, and menthol deliver immediate relief on contact, making this the perfect daily maintenance step or on-demand rescue for an irritated scalp.
Part of the Evo Scalp Family, a four-step system designed to get your scalp back to its happy place.

Why MASC Recommends This
At MASC, we recommend Home Base Scalp Serum as the daily maintenance piece that makes the rest of your scalp routine stick. It's the step most people skip - and the one that makes the biggest difference for day-to-day comfort. Whether your scalp is dry and tight between washes, prone to flare-ups, or just feeling a bit off balance, a few drops of this serum applied directly to the scalp resets the situation without adding bulk or altering your style.
It's also the ideal standalone pick for someone who wants to start their scalp care journey simply - one product, no rinse, noticeable results.
