Frequently asked questions
Is this shampoo suitable for an itchy or sensitive scalp?
Yes. Sensitive Scalp Shampoo is specifically formulated to cleanse gently while helping soothe dry, itchy and irritated scalps. Unlike harsher shampoos that can strip away the scalp's natural oils, this formula helps maintain hydration and supports the skin barrier, making it suitable for people with sensitive or reactive scalps.
Can I use this shampoo if I have seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis?
Many customers with seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, eczema and other forms of dermatitis choose this shampoo as part of their scalp care routine. It is designed to cleanse gently while supporting the scalp barrier and improving comfort. Although it is not a medicated shampoo, it can be used alongside a consistent skincare routine. If your symptoms are severe, persistent or worsening, you should seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Can I use this shampoo every day?
Yes. The shampoo is designed for regular use and may be suitable for daily washing if needed. How often you use it should depend on your hair, scalp and usual washing routine. Introduce it gradually and reduce the frequency or stop using it if irritation develops.
How long does a bottle last?
It depends on the length of your hair and how often you wash. Once opened, the shampoo keeps for 12 months, so you can use it at your own pace.
