Overview
People with dandruff and a dry scalp get a short ingredient list built around zinc pyrithione, cleansing flakes and oil while hydrating scalp and hair. The bottle uses less plastic and can be rolled to reach the last drop.
Dandruff protection with fewer additives is the reason to buy, appealing to anyone who reads labels. It is sulfate free, so lather may feel lighter than classic shampoos.
Who it's for
People whose scalp flakes and feels tight get a gentle, hydrating anti-dandruff wash. Those with no dandruff concern do not need the medicated active.
Pros and cons
- Proven anti-dandruff active

Performance notes
Zinc pyrithione targets the flake causing source on the scalp, washing away flakes and oil with regular use. The sulfate free base cleanses gently, and hydrating ingredients counter the tight feel of a dry scalp.
