Scalp Shampoo for Flake-Prone Hair

Details

For scalps that flake, itch, and redden, two targeted dermatological actives at verified concentrations in our gentle, sulfate-free quad-surfactant base. Piroctone Olamine (0.80%) halts the proliferation of Malassezia, the yeast that lives on every scalp and that a flake-prone scalp reacts to. Unlike older zinc compounds that require chalky mineral clays, Piroctone Olamine is 100% soluble, rinses crystal clear, leaves zero residue on hair fibers, and complies with modern global cosmetic safety standards. Salicylic Acid (0.50%) acts as a gentle keratolytic BHA, hydrolyzing the intercellular desmosomes holding dead surface flakes together so they rinse away during the very first wash. Here is what it does not do: it does not cure seborrhoeic dermatitis. Flaking returns if you stop, because Malassezia yeast naturally re-colonizes the scalp. This is safe, repeatable fungal control, not a permanent cure. Because Malassezia yeasts feed on external oils, this bottle is strictly 100% oil-free. Conditioning is delivered by cationic guar (0.35%) and hydrolyzed rice protein (0.50%) for wet-comb slip without silicone buildup, while Allantoin (0.30%) and D-Panthenol (0.80%) immediately calm itching and erythema.

• Dual active flake control: Piroctone Olamine 0.80% by formula and HPLC assay, paired with Salicylic Acid 0.50% to dissolve surface scales.
• Sulfate-free cleansing engine: Formulated with 14.50% active surfactant matter combining Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (5.5% active), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (4.5% active), Coco-Glucoside (3.0% active), and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (1.5% active). Thoroughly cleanses excess scalp sebum without stripping epidermal barrier lipids.
• 100% Malassezia-safe oil-free conditioning: Zero plant carrier oils or fatty esters that feed yeast overgrowth. Conditioned with cationic guar and plant peptides that provide effortless combability and slip without suffocating silicone accumulation.
• Natural hard water chelator: Sodium Phytate 0.100% sequesters hard-water calcium and magnesium minerals without active deactivation, boosting lather in hard water.
• Anti-pruritic itch relief: High-purity USP Allantoin (0.300%) stops inflammatory scalp itching, while D-Panthenol (0.800%) hydrates the scalp barrier and expands fiber moisture.
• Sensory honesty: Fragrance-free and menthol-free. Zero artificial parfum, masking agents, or artificial cooling sensations.
• How to use (contact time is the whole thing): Massage thoroughly into wet scalp. Leave on the scalp for three full minutes before rinsing. An active without contact time simply runs down the drain. Use twice a week; use Shuunnya Care Gentle Daily Shampoo on alternating days.
• Packaging: Staged in heavy Type III amber glass bottles (200 ml and 400 ml) with lockable metal-clad lotion pumps and an unlaminated white-top kraft box. Pair with our 1 Litre multi-layer barrier refill pouch to refill your bottle and reduce plastic waste by over 70%.
