The INDOLA Anti-Dandruff Shampoo contains active ingredients that target the underlying causes of dandruff, a common scalp condition characterized by flaking and itchiness. One key ingredient in this shampoo is zinc pyrithione, a compound known for its antimicrobial properties. Zinc pyrithione works by inhibiting the growth of Malassezia globosa, a fungus often associated with dandruff. By reducing the population of this fungus on the scalp, zinc pyrithione helps to alleviate dandruff symptoms. Another important component of the INDOLA Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is coal tar, a byproduct of coal processing that has been used for decades in the treatment of scalp conditions. Coal tar is thought to work by slowing down the rate of skin cell turnover, reducing the formation of flaky skin associated with dandruff. Additionally, coal tar has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe the scalp and reduce itchiness. The pH of the INDOLA Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is formulated to be slightly acidic, in the range of 4.5-5.5. This acidic pH helps to maintain the natural barrier function of the skin, preventing irritation and promoting a healthy scalp environment. The viscosity of the shampoo is moderate, allowing for easy application and distribution on the scalp.
