Piroctone Olamine: well-known and still proven
Dandruff-free thanks to Piroctone Olamine - a lasting solution without drying out
The proven preservative has been shown to effectively combat the microorganisms that cause dandruff and irritation. It reduces dandruff and scalp itching as well as cell division activity.
Regular use prevents dandruff from recurring and restores the natural balance of the scalp without drying it out. But that's not all: in addition to anti-dandruff or dry shampoos, the raw material can just as easily be used in clear hair tonics, anti-acne products or deodorants - the possibilities are endless.
