Treecell Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Ocean Breeze 120ml

100% Genuine (Adilsons sourcing policy) · Fragrance-Free: No (Ocean Breeze is a scented variant) · Halal/Vegan/Cruelty-Free status: not confirmed (see Section 26) · FA-Safety: not confirmed (full INCI unavailable).

Persistent flaking and an itchy, tight scalp can feel like a hygiene failure even when you're washing daily — it usually isn't. This shampoo is built to interrupt the cycle rather than just hide it for a day.

Pros: targeted anti-dandruff active complex rather than a generic sulfate wash; cooling sensory profile suited to hot, humid climates; travel-friendly 120ml size; widely stocked across Korean beauty retailers internationally, suggesting an established formula rather than a one-off.

Caveats: full ingredient list and active concentrations are not publicly disclosed by the brand at the time of writing; no independently verifiable customer reviews were found for this exact SKU; the Ocean Breeze scent means this is not an option for anyone avoiding fragrance entirely.

In Mauritius heat, scalp oil and sweat are doing their job, not "dirt" that needs aggressive stripping. Washing more than once daily, or scrubbing hard with a harsh sulfate shampoo, strips the scalp's own protective oil film and pushes its surface pH away from its healthy slightly-acidic range. The scalp responds by overproducing sebum to compensate — the same oiliness and itch you were trying to wash away, now worse.

This shampoo's role is to lift excess oil and flake-causing buildup with its Piroctone Olamine/Salicylic Acid active complex (per retailer-listed ingredients, not independently confirmed) without a harsh strip-and-rebound cycle — but that only holds if you also stop over-washing. Two to four washes a week with this formula, not daily double-shampooing, is the more sustainable pattern for most oily, flaking scalps.

Classification: YELLOW (14+ with guidance). Retailer-listed ingredients name Salicylic Acid (a BHA exfoliant) and Menthol (a cooling agent that can sting sensitive or broken skin) in this formula. Neither is a "clinical-grade" leave-on active at the concentrations typically used in rinse-off shampoos, but both can be more irritating on a child's thinner, more reactive scalp skin than on an adult's.

This is not youth-marketed packaging — Treecell positions Ocean Breeze as a general adult scalp-care product, so there is no packaging-trap concern here.

For a child or early teen with flaking or an itchy scalp, a gentler option without BHA is generally more appropriate; see the A'pieu Raspberry Vinegar Hair Shampoo in Section 38 as one verified in-catalog alternative, and a pediatrician or dermatologist should confirm the cause of any persistent childhood scalp flaking before treating it at home.

Step 1 — When: Any shower, AM or PM, 2-4 times a week rather than daily.

Step 2 — How much: A coin-to-cherry-size amount for short-to-medium hair; a small palm-size pool for long or thick hair.

Step 3 — How: Massage into a wet scalp with fingertips (not nails) for 60 seconds, focusing on the scalp rather than the hair lengths, then rinse thoroughly.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Wet hair and scalp thoroughly with warm (not hot) water. 2. Apply and massage in Treecell Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Ocean Breeze for 60 seconds, focused on the scalp. 3. Rinse fully. 4. Follow with a lightweight conditioner on the lengths only if hair feels dry (see Section 15A).

A morning wash can leave a scalp temporarily more sensitive to sweat and sunscreen runoff during the day in Mauritius heat — rinse sweat off the hairline promptly in the evening rather than letting salt and sebum sit on a freshly-cleansed scalp all day.

1. Brush out tangles before wetting hair. 2. Wet thoroughly. 3. Apply and massage in Treecell Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Ocean Breeze for 60 seconds. 4. Rinse fully, then condition the lengths if needed.

An evening wash removes the day's accumulated sweat, sunscreen, and airborne dust before the scalp spends 6-8 hours against a pillowcase — generally the more effective slot for an anti-dandruff formula, since flake-causing buildup has less time to resettle before your next wash.

Technique: massage into the scalp with fingertip pressure (not nails, which can micro-abrade an already-irritated scalp) for a full 60 seconds — this is the contact time the surfactants and active complex need to actually lift oil and buildup, not a quick 5-second scrub.

Required skin state: apply to fully wet hair and scalp — a dry-hair application concentrates surfactant strength unevenly and can over-strip patches.

Wait time: none required beyond the 60-second massage before rinsing.

Hands deliver 100% of product; this is a rinse-off scalp product, so hands (not a cotton pad) are the only relevant application method here.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state. Note: this map covers facial skincare steps; Treecell Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a hair/scalp product and sits outside this specific stack — its own placement is covered in the AM/PM Routine Guide and Hair and Scalp Compatibility sections above and below.

Viscosity ladder: thinnest → thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup. Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen 2-finger rule for face, +1 finger for neck. Skin state rules: hydrators best on slightly damp skin; retinoids best on fully dry skin; exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp skin, one lane only. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional) 2. pH-Prep/Balancing Toner (optional) 3. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3, optional) 4. Essence (optional) 5. Mist/Thermal Water (optional) 6. Booster/Soothing Serum (optional) 7. Antioxidant Lane (choose one) 8. Pigment Support Lane (choose one) 9. Hydration Serum Lane (optional) 10. Oil-Control/Sebum-Regulating Lane (choose one) 11. Peptides/Growth-Factor/Repair Lane (optional) 12. Eye Serum/Cream (optional) 13. Moisturizer 14. Optional Sealing Layer (only if dry/AC) 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) 16. Lip SPF (optional). In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: 1. Micellar (optional pre-cleanse) 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm (if SPF/makeup) 3. Water Cleanser (second cleanse) 4. pH-Prep Toner (optional) 5. Hydrating Toner Layers (optional) 6. Essence (optional) 7. Soothing/Barrier Serum (optional) 8. Anchor Product (bold placement, always) 9. Targeted Serum (optional, only if not conflicting) 10. Moisturizer 11. Sleeping Mask (optional) 12. Occlusive Seal (optional) 13. Spot Treatment/Pimple Patch (as needed) 14. Lip Sleeping Mask (optional). Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

Lane strictness: One-lane rule — Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane (barrier/hydration) and reduce layers.

This is a medium-viscosity liquid shampoo — thinner than a cream conditioner, thicker than a toner. In a shower sequence it always comes before conditioner: shampoo cleanses and slightly opens the cuticle, conditioner then re-seals and smooths it, so reversing that order leaves both products working against each other.

Phase compatibility: this is a water-phase, surfactant-based formula, not designed to layer with oil-phase leave-in treatments in the shower — oils and heavier treatments belong on towel-dried or dry hair afterward, not mixed into the shampoo step.

Rest days: because retailer-listed ingredients name Salicylic Acid in this formula, using it every single wash (especially combined with daily heat styling) can over-dry an already-flaking scalp rather than calm it.

Exceeding 3-4 uses a week does NOT clear dandruff faster — it more commonly produces a dry, tight, flaking scalp that looks identical to the problem you started with, which is why alternating with a gentle regular shampoo matters.

Before starting this product, your routine should already include a gentle, non-stripping everyday cleanser for the rest of your hair-washing days and a basic conditioner. Using this as your only wash on a stripped, already-irritated scalp can add insult to injury.

Dandruff/flaking: Piroctone Olamine is a well-established anti-dandruff active that works by disrupting the growth of Malassezia yeast, one of the most common drivers of flaking; Salicylic Acid works mechanically, loosening and helping shed built-up dead skin cells (per retailer-listed ingredients, concentrations not disclosed).

Excess scalp oil: the surfactant base lifts sebum more effectively than a basic moisturizing shampoo, though the exact surfactant system for this SKU was not independently confirmed.

Itch: Menthol provides an immediate cooling/soothing sensation, which is symptomatic relief rather than a treatment of the underlying cause.

What this product cannot do: it cannot diagnose or cure seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis (medical conditions requiring a dermatologist), cannot regrow hair, and cannot permanently change your scalp's natural oil production rate.

These pairings support the same wash-day routine as this shampoo. All are verified in Adilsons' live catalog at the time of writing.

Primary — CP-1 Ginger Purifying Conditioner 500ML: a scalp-soothing conditioner formulated to refresh alongside cleansing rather than just coat the hair lengths, so it doesn't undo the shampoo's oil-control work. Use immediately after rinsing this shampoo, on the lengths.

Alternative 1 — Medicube Rosemary PDRN Hair & Scalp Conditioner 250ml: a lightweight scalp-and-hair conditioner if you want something that treats the scalp too, not just the strands.

Alternative 2 — A'pieu Mint Scalp & Hair Vinegar: an acid-based clarifying rinse for the days you skip this shampoo (see Weekly Planner) — do not use both a BHA shampoo and an acid vinegar rinse on the same wash day.

Alternative 3 — Aromatica Rosemary Hair Thickening Conditioner 180ml: for anyone pairing scalp care with a hair-thickening focus.

This is a conflict-solver for ACTIVE ingredients. If you run multiple actives, use these rules to avoid irritation, deactivation, and barrier damage. Because retailer-listed ingredients name Salicylic Acid (a BHA) as an active in this shampoo, treat it as occupying the "exfoliation lane" for scalp care on wash day.

× Other scalp exfoliants/scalers (e.g. a sea-salt scalp scaler): don't stack two exfoliating scalp treatments on the same wash day — over-exfoliation of the scalp shows up as tightness, flaking, and stinging, not faster dandruff clearance. Instead: alternate days between this shampoo and any separate scalp scaler or acid rinse.

Barrier override: if your scalp stings on this product or feels tight and tender for more than 30 minutes after rinsing, pause all scalp actives (this shampoo, scalp vinegars, scalp scalers) and use only a gentle, basic shampoo for 3-7 days.

Scheduling template (adapted for wash-day use, since this is a rinse-off product rather than a daily AM/PM leave-on): Mon/Wed/Fri — this shampoo; Tue/Thu/Sat — gentle everyday shampoo or rest; Sun — optional clarifying vinegar rinse instead, never on the same day as this shampoo.

Do not layer this shampoo's exfoliating active with another scalp exfoliant in the same wash; keep "one lane" per wash day. One-lane rule: only one scalp-exfoliating product per wash day; barrier-supportive conditioner can always accompany it. If unsure, default to the gentler option and reduce frequency.

MYTH: "Dandruff means a dirty scalp — wash it more." REALITY: Most dandruff is driven by Malassezia yeast overgrowth or an irritated skin barrier, not accumulated dirt; over-washing often makes it worse by stripping protective oils and triggering a rebound.

MYTH: "Stronger anti-dandruff shampoo, faster results." REALITY: Overusing a BHA/active-complex shampoo daily tends to dry and irritate the scalp, which looks like more flaking, not less — 2-4x/week alongside a gentle everyday shampoo is the more effective pattern for most people.

MYTH: "Dandruff and dry scalp are the same thing." REALITY: Dandruff is typically linked to excess oil feeding Malassezia yeast, while a dry scalp flakes from a lack of moisture — treating a dry scalp with an oil-stripping anti-dandruff formula can worsen it, which is why the Skin Type Compatibility table above flags dry-type flaking as "use with caution."

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; hard water can leave a mineral film on the scalp and hair after any shampoo, which reads as dullness or residual tightness. Following this shampoo with the CP-1 Ginger Purifying Conditioner (Section 15A) helps counteract that residue rather than leaving hair to air-dry with it still in place.

*These four ingredients are named in retailer/marketing listings for this shampoo line, but were not independently confirmed against a primary brand source, INCIDecoder, or CosDNA during this research pass — treat their inclusion and concentration as unverified until a primary source can be checked.

Full INCI list: Full ingredient list not publicly disclosed by the brand at the time of writing. A separate, unconfirmed source associated with a different Treecell shampoo in this range names a general surfactant base of Water, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Cocamide MIPA, Laureth-23, Cocamide Methyl MEA, Decyl Glucoside, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Sodium Chloride, and Caffeine — but this cannot be confirmed as the exact formula for this specific 120ml Ocean Breeze SKU, so it is disclosed here only as context, not as a verified list for this product.

Preservative system: Not publicly disclosed — no verified INCI is available to identify the preservative system used in this SKU.

Fragrance status: Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum) — "Ocean Breeze" is a named scent variant, so this is not a fragrance-free product.

Scent description: Marketed as a marine/aquatic "ocean breeze" scent; exact scent character not independently verified.

EU 26 allergen screen: Cannot be completed — no verified full INCI is available for this SKU to screen against the EU 26 fragrance allergen list.

*Based on incomplete ingredient data. The term "Fragrance" or "Parfum," if present in the true INCI, may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for anyone with known fragrance sensitivities.

Alcohol disclosure: Not confirmed — no verified INCI is available to check for drying alcohols.

Aspirin/salicylate sensitivity: retailer-listed ingredients name Salicylic Acid (a BHA, chemically related to aspirin) in this formula. If you have a diagnosed aspirin or salicylate sensitivity, discuss this product with your doctor before use, since even rinse-off topical exposure carries a theoretical (though generally low) cross-reactivity risk.

Prescription scalp treatments: if you are using a prescription-strength ketoconazole, coal tar, or corticosteroid scalp treatment for diagnosed seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis, check with your prescribing doctor before adding an additional active-ingredient shampoo, since stacking multiple actives can increase irritation without added benefit.

Halal status: Not assessed. A credible Halal self-assessment requires checking a complete ingredient list against ethanol-from-fermentation and animal-derived ingredient criteria, and no such list is publicly available for this SKU at the time of writing — so no Halal claim, certified or self-assessed, can honestly be made here.

Vegan status: Not assessed, for the same reason — Hydrolyzed Collagen (an animal-derived ingredient) has been associated with other products in this Treecell shampoo range, so a vegan claim specifically should not be assumed without a confirmed INCI for this exact SKU.

Cruelty-free status: No brand cruelty-free claim or third-party certification (Leaping Bunny, PETA) was found during this research pass; treat as not confirmed rather than assuming either way.

Microplastic status: Not confirmed — no verified INCI is available to screen for microplastic-forming polymers.

MFDS classification: Not confirmed. No Korean MFDS functional-cosmetic registration was found for this product during this research pass; treat it as a General Cosmetic unless the brand can provide registration evidence.

Marketing claims found: retailer copy references a "96% fine dust cleansing effect" for this shampoo line.* No study name, institution, sample size, or methodology was found to support this figure.

*Marketing-Only: this claim could not be independently verified against a published study or clinical trial registry and should be treated as brand marketing language, not established clinical evidence.

Evidence confidence: Low — the anti-dandruff mechanism (Piroctone Olamine against Malassezia, Salicylic Acid as a keratolytic) is well-established science generally, but neither this SKU's exact formula nor its specific marketing claims have been independently verified.

Fungal Acne Safety: Not confirmed — this is a scalp product used away from facial skin in normal use, but a full FA-safety screen could not be completed without a verified INCI list.

Assessment: Low. As a cleansing shampoo, this product is designed to remove buildup, not leave residue behind.

If hair still feels coated after rinsing, the more likely cause is hard water mineral deposits (see Climate Fit section) or an unrinsed heavy conditioner/leave-in from a prior wash, not this shampoo itself.

Mitigation: rinse for a full 30-60 seconds under running water, longer than feels necessary, especially with hard water.

A fresh bottle should show a consistent color and a clean, recognizable scent matching "Ocean Breeze." A color shift, separation that won't remix, or a scent turning sour or rancid signals the formula has degraded.

Storage: keep out of direct sun and away from prolonged bathroom heat where possible — Mauritius bathroom humidity accelerates degradation in any water-based formula stored with the cap loosely closed.

Spoilage signs: off/sour smell, visible separation that doesn't remix on shaking, or a texture that's become watery or clumpy. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm, leave for 24 hours, and check for redness, itching, or stinging before your first full scalp application.

72-hour barrier reset (if you react): STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY a gentle, basic shampoo — NO scalp acids, scalers, or medicated treatments. After 72 hours, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately and do not attempt to "wait it out."

If you are pregnant or nursing and want to avoid BHA exposure as a precaution given the unconfirmed Salicylic Acid content, consult your doctor before use rather than relying on this page alone (see the Important Safety Notice above).

1. Using it as a daily shampoo — it's designed for 2-4x/week use, alternated with a gentle everyday formula. 2. Not massaging long enough — a quick 5-second lather doesn't give the active complex enough scalp contact time. 3. Applying to dry hair. 4. Skipping conditioner on the lengths, which can leave hair feeling stripped even when the scalp itself is fine. 5. Combining it with a separate scalp scaler or acid rinse on the same wash day (see Conflict Solver).

Overuse threshold: using this as your only, daily shampoo for more than 2-3 weeks is a common path to a dry, tight, flaking scalp that mimics the original problem.

Usage math: at a coin-to-cherry-size amount per wash and 2-4 washes a week, a 120ml bottle covers roughly 20-30 applications for most short-to-medium hair lengths; long or thick hair will use more per wash and see fewer total uses.

Lifespan: at the recommended 2-4x/week cadence, expect the bottle to last roughly 5-10 weeks; using it daily instead can burn through it in under 3 weeks while also over-drying the scalp.

Reorder timing: consider reordering about 2 weeks before you expect the bottle to run out, to allow for delivery time.

This shampoo is one wash-day step in a broader scalp-care routine — on its own it cleanses and targets flaking, but it isn't a full hair-care system by itself.

Wash-day routine: 1. Wet hair and scalp thoroughly. 2. Massage in Treecell Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Ocean Breeze for 60 seconds, scalp-focused. 3. Rinse fully. 4. Apply a conditioner (Section 15A) to the lengths, avoiding the scalp if it's oil-prone. 5. Rinse.

If your scalp is currently raw or cracked from scratching: hold off on this shampoo and use only a gentle, fragrance-free formula until the skin has visibly healed. If you're heading into a hot, sweaty week (beach, exercise, cyclone-season humidity): you can move toward the upper end of 2-4x/week. If your hair also feels stripped and straw-like after use: that's a sign to add the conditioner every wash, not skip it to "let the shampoo work."

Scalp Reset routine: this shampoo + CP-1 Ginger Purifying Conditioner + A'pieu Mint Scalp & Hair Vinegar (as a weekly clarifying rinse on rest days). Light Repair routine: this shampoo + Medicube Rosemary PDRN Hair & Scalp Conditioner + Medicube Rosemary PDRN Damage Care Hair Mask (weekly treatment) for anyone whose hair lengths need repair alongside scalp care.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Treecell Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Ocean Breeze, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

Primary alternative — A'pieu Raspberry Vinegar Hair Shampoo: a vinegar-based clarifying shampoo for oily scalps, using an acid-rinse mechanism rather than a named anti-dandruff active complex — a gentler-feeling everyday option for oily-but-not-flaking scalps.

Alternative 1 — CP-1 Head Spa Cool Mint Shampoo 500ML: a soothing, deep-cleansing scalp shampoo with a similar cooling sensory profile in a larger 500ml size.

Alternative 2 — SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Shampoo 285ML: a sulfate-free, amino-acid-surfactant scalp shampoo built around Centella Asiatica, better suited if your scalp is sensitive and reactive rather than oily-and-flaking.

Alternative 3 — CP-1 Anti Hairloss Scalp Infusion Shampoo 250ML: better suited if hair thinning/loss is your primary concern rather than flaking.

Choose Treecell Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Ocean Breeze over the A'pieu Raspberry Vinegar Hair Shampoo if you need a dedicated anti-dandruff active complex (Piroctone Olamine + Salicylic Acid, per retailer-listed ingredients) rather than a general vinegar-based clarifying rinse: flaking specifically driven by yeast overgrowth or dead-skin buildup is more directly targeted by Treecell's named active complex than by a clarifying acid rinse alone.

Upgrade if: IF you see visible white/yellow flakes on dark clothing, THEN this dedicated anti-dandruff formula is the more targeted choice over a general clarifying shampoo. IF your scalp is oily but flake-free, THEN the gentler A'pieu vinegar shampoo is likely sufficient and less drying.

Timing and lane: use on wash days only, 2-4x/week, not layered same-day with any other scalp-exfoliating product (see Conflict Solver).

Don't upgrade to this if: your scalp is currently raw or cracked (heal first); you're already using a prescription medicated shampoo for diagnosed seborrheic dermatitis (check with your doctor before adding another active); or you specifically need a fragrance-free formula.

If you match the flaking-specific trigger above, this is worth choosing. If not, the gentler alternative is sufficient and less likely to over-dry. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: targeted anti-dandruff scalp cleansing. You do NOT need this if you already own another dedicated anti-dandruff shampoo with a similar active complex — finish that one first rather than running two in parallel.

Check your current shower shelf for an open anti-dandruff or medicated scalp shampoo before buying; most shampoo bottles don't carry a strict expiry once opened, but a half-used duplicate is simply wasted spend either way.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you already own another Piroctone Olamine/Salicylic Acid anti-dandruff shampoo (same mechanism); Marginal Benefit if you own a general clarifying shampoo without a named anti-dandruff active; Significant Benefit if your current shampoo has no anti-dandruff or scalp-targeting function at all.

Treecell is a South Korean hair and scalp-care brand, headquartered in South Korea (parent company and founding date not publicly disclosed at the time of writing). It markets itself as a "premium lifestyle" haircare brand, positioning its formulas as developed with dermatologist input and backed by clinical studies* — though no specific named study, institution, or sample size was found to substantiate this during this research pass.

The brand's best-known line is its Day and Night Collagen Shampoo range, alongside a separate Night Perfector scalp serum and this Anti-Dandruff Shampoo line (sold in both Ocean Breeze and other scent variants, in 120ml and 360ml sizes).

*Brand-stated formulation philosophy; not independently verified against a published clinical trial.

Community reviews for this specific product were not yet available in our research at the time of writing. A Korean review-aggregator listing for "Treecell ANTI DANDRUFF SHAMPOO" was located, but the review content itself could not be retrieved during this research pass, and no Reddit, Amazon, or YesStyle threads specific to this exact SKU were found.

We will update this section as genuine, verifiable reviews for this product become available rather than inventing plausible-sounding quotes to fill the gap.

Sustainability: recyclability and refill program status not publicly disclosed by the brand at the time of writing; check local recycling guidance for the plastic type marked on the bottle base.

Is this safe to use every day? Not recommended — 2-4 times a week, alternated with a gentle everyday shampoo, is the more sustainable pattern; daily use of an active-complex anti-dandruff shampoo commonly over-dries the scalp.

Does it contain sulfates? Not confirmed — the full ingredient list for this exact SKU has not been independently verified, so sulfate content cannot be stated either way.

Will it help with hair loss, not just dandruff? Not confirmed — this line is marketed for dandruff/scalp oiliness, not hair loss; if hair thinning is your primary concern, see the CP-1 Anti Hairloss Scalp Infusion Shampoo alternative in Section 38.

Is it fragrance-free? No — "Ocean Breeze" is a scented variant; a fragrance-free option would need to be sourced elsewhere.

Can I use it if I'm pregnant? The formula reportedly contains Salicylic Acid at an undisclosed concentration; this is a rinse-off product so it does not meet the store's formal pregnancy-contraindication threshold, but discuss it with your doctor if you'd rather avoid BHA exposure as a precaution.

Dandruff

Visible flaking of the scalp, most commonly linked to Malassezia yeast overgrowth or scalp barrier irritation.

Malassezia

A yeast naturally present on most scalps that, when it overgrows, is a leading driver of dandruff and flaking.

Piroctone Olamine

A synthetic antifungal/antimicrobial ingredient commonly used in anti-dandruff shampoos to control Malassezia.

Salicylic Acid (BHA)

A beta-hydroxy acid that loosens dead skin cell buildup; used on the scalp to help shed flakes.

Sebum

The natural oil produced by scalp and skin glands; excess sebum can feed Malassezia and worsen dandruff.

Acid mantle

The scalp and skin's naturally slightly-acidic protective surface layer, which harsh washing can disrupt.

Sulfate-free

A shampoo formulated without harsh sulfate surfactants, generally gentler on scalp and color-treated hair.

Panthenol

A Provitamin B5 derivative used to add moisture and soothe the scalp.

Keratolytic

A substance (like Salicylic Acid) that helps break down and shed built-up dead skin cells.

Clarifying rinse

A cleansing rinse (often acid-based) used periodically to remove buildup rather than as a daily wash.
