Best Shampoo for Psoriasis: Why Snail Mucin Makes All the Difference

Living with scalp psoriasis isn’t just about flaking, it’s about discomfort, inflammation, and a cycle that can chip away at your confidence. At Bragan Skincare, we know that when you ask, “What’s the best shampoo for psoriasis?”, what you’re really saying is, “Is there something that truly calms, repairs, and nourishes – without the harsh, drying processes?”

Our answer is simple: snail mucin. Let’s break down why it works, how to use it effectively, and why the Bragan Skincare Sensitive Scalp Shampoo is a game-changer.



Why Snail Mucin Is a Psoriasis-Friendly Powerhouse

Snail mucin, or snail secretion filtrate, is packed with skin-loving components:

  • Allantoin, glycolic acid, peptides, hyaluronic acid, elastin, collagen, and antioxidants work together to soothe irritation, hydrate deeply, and promote skin barrier repair. It also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties
  • Hydration is key for psoriasis-prone skin. Snail mucin’s hyaluronic acid content helps lock in moisture and prevent cracking or flaking
  • Its regenerative nature makes it more than a bandage, snail mucin helps strengthen your scalp over time, potentially reducing flare-ups

Bottom line: it offers a multi-pronged solution – hydrating, calming, healing – that psoriasis-prone scalps desperately need.



How to Use Bragan Skincare’s Sensitive Scalp Shampoo for Psoriasis Relief

Our customers love that this isn’t just a shampoo, it’s a targeted solution:

  • Wet hair thoroughly.
  • Apply generously to your scalp. Massage gently, ensuring contact with psoriasis-prone areas.
  • Let it sit for 3–5 minutes. This gives snail mucin time to absorb and work its magic. Rinse thoroughly. Residue can worsen irritation.
  • Follow with a gentle, fragrance-free conditioner, focusing on hair lengths rather than the scalp.

Pro Tip: Use 2–3 times per week during flare-ups; reduce to once for maintenance. It’s gentle enough even for daily use.



What Makes Bragan Skincare’s Formulation Stand Out

  • Fragrance-free, steroid-free, sulfate-free – designed for truly sensitive, inflammation-prone scalps
  • Ethically sourced snail mucin (no harm to snails!), produced in Co. Monaghan, Ireland, under rigorous European standards
  • Ingredients like allantoin, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, peptides, vitamins A-C-E-B1-B6 – all central to calming, repairing, and nourishing
