BioScalp Dandruff Control Shampoo

Dandruff is caused by an imbalance in the scalp’s natural ecosystem. The most common culprit is an overgrowth of Malassezia, a yeast-like fungus that feeds on scalp oils. This can trigger irritation and rapid skin cell turnover, leading to flaking.

Other contributing factors include dry scalp, sensitivity to hair products, excessive oil production, and skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or eczema. External factors such as stress, poor diet, and cold weather can also worsen dandruff.

While it’s not contagious or a sign of poor hygiene, using the right scalp care routine—like anti-dandruff shampoos with active ingredients (zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, or ketoconazole)—can help control it. Regular cleansing, hydration, and a balanced diet also support a healthier scalp.

Piroctone olamine is an antifungal and antimicrobial ingredient that effectively combats dandruff by targeting its root cause—Malassezia, the yeast-like fungus responsible for scalp irritation and flaking.

It works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, reducing its population and preventing excessive scalp shedding. Unlike harsher anti-dandruff agents, piroctone olamine also helps maintain scalp health by reducing inflammation, soothing irritation, and regulating oil production.

Additionally, it has conditioning properties that prevent excessive dryness, making it a gentler alternative to zinc pyrithione. Regular use in shampoos or scalp treatments can lead to noticeable improvements in flake reduction, scalp comfort, and overall hair health.

Vitamin E plays a crucial role in scalp health by acting as a powerful antioxidant and moisturizer. It helps combat dandruff by reducing oxidative stress, which can contribute to scalp irritation and flaking.

Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe the scalp, relieving itchiness and redness caused by dandruff. Additionally, vitamin E supports the scalp’s natural oil balance, preventing excessive dryness or oiliness—both of which can worsen dandruff. It also enhances blood circulation, promoting healthier hair follicles and a stronger scalp barrier.

You can benefit from vitamin E through scalp treatments, serums, or naturally by incorporating foods like nuts, seeds, and leafy greens into your diet.

Excess sebum can contribute to dandruff by creating an ideal environment for Malassezia, a yeast-like fungus naturally present on the scalp. This fungus feeds on sebum and breaks it down into irritating fatty acids, which can trigger inflammation, itchiness, and excessive skin cell shedding—leading to dandruff.

Additionally, an overly oily scalp can cause dead skin cells to clump together, making flakes more noticeable. While some oil is essential for scalp health, an imbalance—whether due to hormonal changes, stress, or improper hair care—can lead to dandruff.

Regular cleansing with a mild, balancing shampoo can help control sebum production without stripping the scalp, reducing dandruff flare-ups.
