SEBCLAIR Shampoo, 100 ml

Product Information

Sebclair® helps to restore the normal skin barrier function by promoting moisture retention, which is beneficial to the healing process. In 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. Piroctone olamine was first submitted for approval to the European Union and United States FDA in the 1980s [2]. The ingredient was first approved for addition to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) in 2008, after the FDA sought additional safety and effectiveness data in 2004 [3]. Sebclair shampoo is designed for mild to moderate dandruff caused by either a dry scalp or seborrheic dermatitis.

Even with our in-house expertise, compiling our best dandruff shampoos was tough. So, for the first time, we spoke to 5 board-certified dermatologists for their input. This combination of cleansing agents is gentle, effective, and innovative while the shampoo smells ace and washes even better. Selenium Sulfide is on the FDA-approved list of dandruff treatments and, like ketoconazole, is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a first-line treatment for seb derm on the scalp. Sebamed’s Scalp Balancing Shampoo is one of the best anti-fungal shampoos for seb derm, with a unique formula that leaves your scalp feeling fresh and clean. It is free from harsh detergents or perfumes which can be irritating to sensitive scalps like yours.

Where did it come from?

Kim, Y., Alpmann, P., Blaum-Feder, S., Kraemer, S., Endo, T., Lu, D., & Schmidt-Wolf, I. G. (2011). ‘Increased in vivo efficacy of lenalidomide by addition of piroctone olamine.’ In vivo, 25(1), 99-103. And on top of this Sebclair uses an ultra-mild, natural preservative system, no essential oils, no fragrance, no parfum and no allergens. And if it doesn’t work, board-certified dermatologist Adam J. Friedman, MD, FAAD, assistant professor of dermatology and director of dermatologic research, Albert Einstein College of Medicine explains via the AAD, “For most people, dandruff does not require medical attention. However, sometimes the flaking and itching that appears like dandruff is actually a medical condition, such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infections of the scalp, or eczema. If you continue to have symptoms after using a dandruff shampoo, consult a board-certified dermatologist.” As a non-steroidal line, Sebclair® does not cause any side effects which are commonly associated with topical corticosteroids. Aside from the active ingredients, Dead Sea Spa has chosen some innovative help ingredients that really made this shampoo stand out.

As a standalone dandruff fighter, piroctone olamine is considered an able for everyday use active being much gentler than traditional ketoconazole or selenium sulfide shampoos. Meaning for mild to moderate seb derm, Piroctone Olamine is a reliable active. We’ll start with the active anti-fungal ingredient as these are what act to quell your skin’s population of seb derm causing Malassezia yeast. Extensive safety studies have been performed on piroctone olamine for submission to various regulatory agencies. The largest human safety trial was conducted in France, and found that application of a 1.0% cream three times a day caused no adverse effects or sensitivity over a four-week period. The FDA review of safety data in 2004, noted that no significant health effects have been observed in use since the 1970s [1] The Seven Best Piroctone Olamine Shampoos Chaijan MR1, Handjani F2, Zarshenas M3, Rahimabadi MS4, Tavakkoli A1. (2018) The myrtus communis L. solution versus ketoconazole shampoo in treatment of dandruff: A double blinded randomized clinical trial.

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]. Nizoral contains a 2% dose of antifungal ketoconazole mixed into an 11-ingredient fragrance-free formula. Topicrem is a unique dermo-cosmetic product for the body, scalp, and external intimate area. It gently cleanses, leaves the skin hydrated, respects soothes, and protects (the external intimate area). Also of note are the extracts with antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. We’ve reviewed hundreds of dandruff shampoos and thousands of hours of research, and can vouch that commercial exploitation and disinformation are still as rife in this industry as it ever was.
