We follow multi-step routines for our skin, yet when it comes to the scalp, it’s often an afterthought—leading to oiliness, irritation, and even weakened hair growth.
But just like your face, your scalp needs the right care to stay balanced and healthy. A good routine starts with the right shampoo, one that caters to both your hair and scalp, just as skincare does for your face and neck.
With scalp-loving ingredients like niacinamide gaining traction, we asked aesthetic doctor Dr Sy Li Lin for her expert take on the Bee Choo Origin Rebalance Amino Shampoo.
Spoiler alert: She gave this shampoo a 4.5-star rating!
A Closer Look at Bee Choo Origin Rebalance Amino Shampoo Formula
Designed for oily scalps, the Bee Choo Origin Rebalance Amino Shampoo deeply cleanses hair and scalp without stripping essential moisture, helping to regulate excess sebum and maintain scalp health.
Packed with natural antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, this shampoo soothes irritation, tackles dandruff, and helps reduce hair loss, while Vitamin B3 works to strengthen hair from the roots by supporting keratin synthesis for a healthier, revitalised finish.
This carefully formulated scalp treatment is designed to restore balance, strengthen hair, and promote long-term scalp health.
Packed with targeted skincare-inspired ingredients, this shampoo works beyond surface-level cleansing to address common concerns like oiliness, irritation, and weakened hair growth.
Key Ingredients That Make a Difference
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Controls sebum, improves scalp hydration, and strengthens hair through keratin synthesis
- Horehound Extract: Activates antioxidants to protect the scalp from pollutants and toxins
- Bartsma Betulina Leaf Extract (Buchu) Extract: Antimicrobial and antiseptic properties help regulate oil production
- Piroctone Olamine: A powerhouse anti-fungal ingredient that fights dandruff, hair loss, and slow hair growth

Dr Lilin noted that its ingredient blend is designed to support scalp health by addressing common concerns like oiliness, irritation, and dandruff.
One standout ingredient in the formula that Dr Lilin highlights is Piroctone Olamine, praising its powerful antifungal properties.
“Piroctone Olamine stands out to me the most because of its antifungal properties. It’s ideal for controlling the root cause of dandruff, a commonly occurring fungus called Malassezia,” she explains.

Niacinamide is often praised for its skin-loving benefits, but it’s also a powerhouse ingredient for scalp care. Dr Lilin explains that niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, benefits the scalp by:
- Improving blood flow through its vasodilatory effects (widening blood vessels)
- Enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair follicles, nourishing them
- Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
Niacinamide in Bee Choo Origin Rebalance Amino Shampoo “helps to build keratin, which is a key component of skin and hair structure. This helps to keep hair firm and healthy,” Dr Lilin explained.
Horehound Extract Helps Soothe and Protect Your Scalp

Beyond Piroctone Olamine’s antifungal properties and Niacinamide’s scalp-balancing benefits, Dr Lilin also highlighted Horehound extract for its soothing and protective effects.
This aromatic herb from the mint family plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy scalp environment, thanks to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Dr Lilin shared some key benefits of Horehound extract for scalp health:
- Fights Dandruff & Soothes Irritation: Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help combat dandruff and calm scalp sensitivity
- Protects Against Oxidative Stress: Rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, and essential oils, Horehound neutralizes free radicals that can damage hair follicles
- Reduces Inflammation: By lowering oxidative stress, it helps prevent inflammation that contributes to hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
- Strengthens Scalp Barrier: The combined action of its antioxidants and essential oils supports overall scalp health, ensuring an optimal environment for hair growth

Dr Lilin’s First Impressions
Before trying the Bee Choo Origin Rebalance Amino Shampoo, Dr Lilin, with a combination-oily scalp type, had experienced:
- Greasy scalp
- Weakened or thinning hair
- Postpartum thinning hair
She had tried herbal shampoos and treatments, but shared that “they don’t really work for me.” However, her experience with the Bee Choo Origin Rebalance Amino Shampoo turned out to be a pleasant surprise. She highlighted a few key aspects that stood out:
- My scalp was not too oily
- My hair was also softer
- There was no irritation and my scalp was more hydrated
- The shampoo has a lightweight texture and feels gentle on the scalp
“My scalp felt comfortable and hydrated after the treatment; it felt fresh. My hair also stayed natural and light without getting too oily,” she shared.
The scent was another plus point for Dr Lilin, who stated that “there was a pleasant and refreshing herbal scent that was not too strong, and I was comfortable with it.”
Dr Lilin’s Final Verdict on the Shampoo’s Effectiveness
Dr Lilin found that the Bee Choo Origin Rebalance Amino Shampoo worked well for her, stating “I notice reduced oiliness on my scalp, improved hair strength, and a more refreshed feel.”
She believes that the shampoo is best suited for those with “oily hair and a greasy scalp”, noting that the key properties in this shampoo “are effective because they ensure scalp is clean and free of microorganisms.
This helps to control the growth of bacteria and fungi on the scalp, which can contribute to scalp conditions like dandruff, itchiness and irritation, promoting a healthier scalp by maintaining a balanced microbiome on the scalp.”
Where to Get It
Making the switch to a scalp-first approach isn’t just about better hair days—it’s about long-term hair health, and this formula delivers exactly that.
If you’re ready to rethink your scalp care routine, the Rebalance Amino Shampoo is available at Bee Choo Origin and Shopee for S$35 (250ml).
