The Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 400ml is a German-engineered, soap-free shampoo formulated with Piroctone Olamine to gently reduce visible dandruff, soothe itchy scalp irritation, and rebalance oily roots in as few as 14 days of regular use. Its dermatologically tested pH 5.5 formula matches the scalp's natural acid mantle, making it especially suited for sensitive, dandruff-prone scalps in the UAE climate that react poorly to harsher anti-dandruff shampoos.

Why Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Works

Unlike conventional anti-dandruff shampoos that rely on harsh sulfates or coal-tar derivatives, Sebamed combines clinically validated dandruff control with a mild cleansing base. The active ingredient Piroctone Olamine targets the Malassezia yeast that triggers flaking and irritation, while the pH 5.5 system reinforces the scalp's protective barrier. In dermatological testing, the formula delivered up to 50% less visible dandruff after just 14 days of consistent use.

Ideal For

This Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is best suited for adults and teenagers with oily or combination scalps, recurrent flakes, scalp itching, or mild to moderate seborrheic dermatitis. The gentle profile also makes it a fit for sensitive scalps that find traditional medicated shampoos drying. Always consult a healthcare provider before use if you have an underlying scalp condition or are pregnant.

• Piroctone Olamine: A gentle, broad-spectrum anti-dandruff active that counteracts the Malassezia yeast responsible for flakes, itching, and scalp irritation, without the scalp-drying harshness of ketoconazole or selenium sulfide.

• pH 5.5 cleansing system: Mild surfactants such as lauryl glucoside, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, and cocamidopropyl betaine are matched to the scalp's natural acidity to preserve the acid mantle and minimise post-wash dryness.

• Sodium Lactate and Lactic Acid: Humectant and pH-balancing actives that condition the hair shaft and reinforce a healthier scalp environment between washes.

• 100% free from soap, alkali, and parabens, with no aggressive coal-tar or zinc-pyrithione actives at the top of the INCI list.
