  • Dandruff Shampoo & Conditioner formulation without Zin Pyrithione.

    I am a manufacturer here in Vancouver, Canada. We have bene making a Dandruff Shampoo with 1% Zinc Pyrithione. Nowe not allowed to use thsi zinc as we a natural based line. 

    Now we need to decide what to put in its place. If we leave the zinc out the formulation does not have the same loom and feel and nor might it have the same efficacy!!

    Any feedback.

    Since antidandruff products fall in the pharma realm and according to the laws in your country, you should consider ingredients approved by regulatory agencies. For instance, this is FDA’s monograph for antidandruff ingredients: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/omuf/OTC%20Monograph_M032-Drug%20Products%20for%20the%20Control%20of%20Dandruff%20Seborrheic%20Dermatitis%20and%20Psoriasis%2012.16.2021.pdf. You can also check the european database (Cosing), and there you could add Climbazole and Piroctone olamine to your options. All of these ingredients have decades of clinicas studies that support their safety and efficacy.
