SEBCLAIR Shampoo, 100 ml

Product Information

It is thought that the malassezia fungus is responsible for seborrheic dermatitis. Piroctone olamine is an ethanolamine salt of piroctone, with a complex (and not fully understood) anti-fungal mechanism. One proposed mechanism of action is the formation of molecular complexes with iron, which may inhibit fungal cells from effectively utilising energy [4]. It is known to the particularly effective against Malassezia yeasts – and so has a role in the treatment of seb derm. How Effective Is Piroctone Olamine?

Piroctone olamine works by lowering the levels of lipids on the surface of your scalp which is responsible for making skin cells grow more rapidly than they should. Since there are hundreds of different brands that makes piroctone olamine shampoos, finding the right one for you need might be super challenging. The recognized ingredient Sebclair use is Piroctone Olamine an anti-fungal active with gentler properties than classical Ketoconazole or Selenium Sulfide. Studies show when Piroctone Olamine at 0.75% is combined with Salicylic Acid at 2%, the anti-dandruff effects are even greater than traditional shop bought dandruff formulas containing Zinc Pyrithione. Apply Sebclair shampoo on damp hair and massage gently. Leave to act for some minutes and rinse. Use 2/3 times a week or according to necessity. This product is safe for color-treated or chemically processed hair as well as extensions, wigs, and weaves. The main ingredient, sodium chloride (salt), will strip out the keratin in your hair and give you a fresh start.

Where did it come from?

The 2010 Beiersdorf study found that the combined antifungal shampoo improved ‘wet combing’ on mannequins over a zinc pyrithione shampoo [5]. This easier combing is thought to reduce the need for frequent washing, but this is proposed and not proven. Where can I buy Piroctone Olamine Shampoos? Dandruff is a common condition that causes dry, flaky skin on the scalp. It can also cause itching and redness. For some people, dandruff may be caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the scalp called Malassezia furfur (also known as pityrosporum). Salicylic Acid and Zinc Pyrithione complement each other so well because Salicylic Acid can soften the existing build-up on your scalp and help the Zinc Pyrithione penetrate the scalp more effectively [18]. Our second runner-up, DHS Fragrance-Free Tar Shampoo is a coal tar shampoo. Coal Tar remains a controversial active ingredient to this day, but there’s no denying that it can be effective at treating dandruff caused by both seb derm and scalp psoriasis. Nizoral is probably the most effective shampoo on the market to control dandruff caused by seb derm.

The reason it’s so widely recommended is that it’s effective. Numerous studies demonstrate its efficacy in treating seb derm including a very recently published 2018 study[14] that showed a 2% ketoconazole shampoo dramatically improved symptoms of seb derm over 30 days of use – when used once every 3 or 4 days. Sebamed shampoo contains an active ingredient, salicylic acid, which helps to reduce dandruff and the resulting flaking. This gentle anti-dandruff shampoo contains natural ingredients that are kind to your hair as well as your scalp. Joshua A. Zeichner (2010) Use of Topical Coal Tar Foam for the Treatment of Psoriasis in Difficult-to-treat AreasIn our tests, this Piroctone Olamine shampoo, designed to treat dandruff caused by Seborrheic Dermatitis, was simply the best and most gentle formulation on the market.

A comparison of 1% ketoconazole, 1% piroctone olamine and 1% zinc pyrithione formulations Seb Derm is thought it be associated with a Malassezia yeast on the scalp, with anti-fungal shampoos used to reduce this growth. Very few high-quality clinical trials have been performed on the efficacy of piroctone olamine-based shampoos. In 2010, researchers at the cosmetic company Beiersdorf published data suggesting a piroctone olamine/climbazole combination shampoo was equally as effective at reducing dandruff compared to zinc pyrithione in 50 participants – although more research is required [5].
