Your hair still has another good day in it. Sometimes, your roots just need a little help .
Just where you need it.
A little refresh for your roots, so you can keep enjoying the rest of your hair as it is.

Between washes
For the days in between.
Some mornings, your lengths still fall just right, but your roots are beginning to look oily. Our mist helps absorb that excess oil, giving your roots a gentle refresh while you keep the style you’re happy with.
Shake well, mist lightly onto dry roots, then gently massage it in and let it dry. It won’t replace washing. It just gives you one more good day.

Tangles after the shower?

Our story
Made with care.
We listened to what people disliked about their hair products, then took our time making better ones. Every formula is chosen with care, tested, and made for one job: your roots, or your ends.
We’re a small team in Saint-Étienne, France, and we read every message: hello@bypalim.com
Before you add to cart.
Where do I start?
Start with the part of your hair that needs a little help: oily roots, tangles or dry ends. You can keep the products you already enjoy. One PALIM product may be all you need; our routine finder can help you choose.
What if it doesn't work for my hair?
Then we'll make it right. Try it for 30 days. If it isn't right for your hair, email hello@bypalim.com within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund that product. You don't need to send it back. One guarantee refund per product, per customer.
Who's behind PALIM?
We're a small haircare brand in Saint-Étienne, France. Our formulas are made by an independent cosmetics lab. We built the range around different needs at the roots and lengths, starting with the dry shampoo mist. Reach us at hello@bypalim.com.
How is PALIM's dry shampoo mist different from a regular dry shampoo?
Our non-aerosol pump carries oil-absorbing starch in a fine liquid mist. Shake, apply lightly to dry roots, massage and let dry. In our tests with participants, including long, dark hair, we saw no visible white cast and hair stayed soft and touchable. You can read more about testing and use on the product page.
What's the difference between the exfoliating scalp serum and the scalp scrub?
The serum exfoliates with lactic acid, without grit, on a dry scalp. The scrub uses clay and cherry shell particles on a wet scalp. Both rinse out before shampoo. Choose by feel and use one per wash.
How do the conditioner, the leave-in mist and the hair mask work together?
Conditioner rinses out on wash day. The leave-in mist stays on clean, damp lengths. The mask replaces conditioner when you want richer care. Start with conditioner and add another step only if your ends need it.
Are all PALIM products vegan or nut-free?
Not all of them. The dry shampoo mist, scalp serum, gloss shampoo, gloss conditioner and rosemary oil are vegan. The leave-in mist, hair mask and scalp scrub contain keratin from sheep wool. The hair mask and rosemary oil contain sweet almond oil, and the gloss shampoo, gloss conditioner and hair mask contain hydrolyzed wheat protein (gluten). Every product page lists the full ingredients right under Add to cart.
Where do you ship?
Orders are packed within 2 business days and arrive in 4 to 7 business days in the US (6 to 11 in the EU), with tracking. Two or more products always ship free; three or more also save $8, applied in your cart. Orders with the dry shampoo mist ship by ground, because its formula contains alcohol.
