Description
Piroctone Olamine is a highly effective cosmetic ingredient designed to combat dandruff and improve scalp health.
Its antifungal action directly targets the yeast Malassezia sp., the main cause of the imbalance that leads to flaking, itching and irritation.
It also has a dual action, reducing irritating fatty acids.
Potential use in seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Produced under strict GMP standards in Switzerland, our Piroctone Olamine stands out for its high purity, ensuring maximum effectiveness with a smaller amount.
