Also of note are the extracts with antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. It is thought that the malassezia fungus is responsible for seborrheic dermatitis. Piroctone olamine is an ethanolamine salt of piroctone, with a complex (and not fully understood) anti-fungal mechanism. One proposed mechanism of action is the formation of molecular complexes with iron, which may inhibit fungal cells from effectively utilising energy [4]. It is known to the particularly effective against Malassezia yeasts – and so has a role in the treatment of seb derm. How Effective Is Piroctone Olamine? Joshua A.

Piroctone olamine is an ingredient found in dandruff shampoos and topical skin products. Also called piroctone ethanolamine and sold under the brand name “Octopirox”, piroctone olamine is an antifungal and antimicrobial compound used to treat fungal infections of the skin, including scalp infections that cause dandruff. Many people believe dandruff is caused by poor hygiene, but this simply isn’t true,” said board-certified dermatologist Adam J. Friedman, MD, FAAD, assistant professor of dermatology and director of dermatologic research, Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “Rather than try to remedy dandruff by over-shampooing or over-brushing your hair, which can both be damaging to the hair, use dandruff shampoo and scalp treatments instead.” What shampoos are designed to control my condition?

Pro-tip: If your sensitive scalp has more than a mild to moderate case of seb derm or dandruff, consider Sebclair shampoo an in-between everyday use up-keep. Now, what about the other ingredients in Alliance Pharma’s Sebclair shampoo? Are they friendly to sensitive scalps? Danby FW1, Maddin WS, Margesson LJ, Rosenthal D. (1993) A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of ketoconazole 2% shampoo versus selenium sulfide 2.5% shampoo in the treatment of moderate to severe dandruff. You’ll want to use a decently sized dollop of shampoo, the creamy liquid lathers with small bubbles meaning it takes a little more time to spread/work on your scalp. With no added fragrance and no ingredients added to cause a sensation on your scalp, you almost wouldn’t know Sebclair shampoo was in action – great news for sensitive scalps. On washing out the Sebclair shampoo rinses well, leaving hair feeling thoroughly cleansed. Each product has been specifically formulated to manage the most common symptoms of seborrhoeic dermatitis such as scaling/flaking, reddening, burning and pain in areas with a particularly high concentration of sebaceous glands such as the scalp, eyebrows, forehead, nasolabial folds and trunk, which can all be affected by the condition. They assess the primary purpose of the dandruff shampoo, by examining the active ingredients present in the formulation. These active ingredients are designed to control specific types of dandruff. We explain, in layman’s terms, what those active ingredients actually do and outline the pros and cons.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. Sebclair Non-Steroidal Cream pairs the anti-fungal activity of piroctone olamine with a significant amount of natural anti-inflammatory ingredients. A perfect combination because dandruff caused by dry scalp, seb derm and psoriasis are all inflammatory skin conditions. Redness is inflammatory. Sensitivity is inflammatory, pain is inflammatory. The Sebclair Non-Steroidal Cream is designed to reduce the cause and symptoms of mild to moderate seb derm having an ingredients list to live up to their claims. This combination of cleansing agents is gentle, effective, and innovative while the shampoo smells ace and washes even better.
