Dandruff-Killer Shampoo

• Piroctone Olamine: The ethanolamine salt of a 2-pyridone derivative has fungicidal and antibacterial effects and is particularly effective against the yeast fungus Malassezia furfur.
• Fumaric Acid: Fumaric acid is an active ingredient found in nature, for example, in plants like fumitory. It helps to normalize the shedding of skin flakes.
• Panthenol: Pro-vitamin B5 or dexpanthenol increases skin moisture and thereby strengthens the skin barrier. It reduces itching and feelings of dryness.
• Allantoin: Allantoin has multiple effects on the skin and scalp. In addition to its skin-soothing properties, it has a keratolytic effect, meaning it can remove the outermost skin flakes. Allantoin also increases skin moisture.

For the daily dose against dandruff:

• Distribute the shampoo evenly in wet hair and massage it in.
• Then rinse thoroughly.
• Suitable for daily use.
