REF Stockholm is celebrating a major beauty accolade, with its AHA Scalp Detox Treatment taking out the coveted Best Scalp Treatment category at the 2026 Allure Best of Beauty Awards.

Announced on Friday 18 September, the win sees REF recognised for its high-performance approach to scalp care, with Allure’s judging panel praising the treatment’s ease of use, performance and skincare-inspired formula.

The panel highlighted the product’s combination of exfoliation and scalp health, praising its gel-like texture, stimulating feel and built-in scrub brush, which helps lift away build-up while massaging the scalp.

Powered by exfoliating AHA acids and caring ingredients, the treatment is designed to remove build-up and dead skin cells while helping to hydrate, soothe and rebalance the scalp. The integrated brush enables precise application and gentle massage, leaving the scalp feeling clean, refreshed and ready for healthier-looking hair.

Distributed in Australia by Smiths Collective Brands, REF Stockholm’s award-winning treatment also reflects the brand’s wider commitment to conscious haircare, with 100 per cent vegan and cruelty-free, sulphate and paraben-free formulations, alongside climate-compensated production.

For REF, it’s a major beauty-world nod to the growing focus on scalp health – and proof that great haircare starts at the root.
