An itchy scalp is often caused by dandruff, which needs to be treated by a shampoo that not only calms the scalp, but also helpskeep itch from coming back.

There’s nothing worse than suffering from an itchy scalp. The uncontrollable urge to scratch is irritating and only temporarilyrelieves the itchy sensation.

What causes itch?
An itchy scalp is most commonly caused by dandruff. Dandruff irritates your scalp, which then sheds its outer layerrapidly in an attempt to get rid of the irritation.

This causes the symptoms of dandruff including:

  • flakes
  • tightness
  • dryness
  • redness
  • itchiness

Anitchy scalp can be easily relieved with the right treatments both in and out of the shower.

How to treat itch in between washes
Our Instant Relief Scalp Soother comforts your itchy scalp with its cooling peppermint complex. This non-greasy, moisturizing spraylets you soothe your scalp itch while on the go and in between washes.

Itchy scalp shampoo treatment
For a long-lasting solution, you should use an anti-dandruff shampoo.

The right itchy scalp shampoo needs to do 2 things:

1. tackle the root cause – it must prevent dandruff from coming back

2. relieve the itch – it should contain cooling ingredients like mint, tea tree or eucalyptusessences for immediate relief

Our Instant Relief Shampoo not only fights the symptoms of dandruff, but also contains cooling peppermint complex and tea tree essenceto calm your itchy scalp.

The shampoo is pH balanced and gentle on hair, leaving it silky, beautiful and 100% dandruff free.1
