How to get what you ought to~ A New Insight on Anti-dandruff Evaluation

Abstract

The anti-dandruff efficacy of the anti-scaling scalp shampoo* was evaluated in liaison with the way such products are used by the AD sufferers. The findings of the study proves that the above shampoo was active even at higher dilution (1:500), which resisted different qualities of water and exerted quick killing effect on the target microbe. Further, the level of activity of key AD agents in the shampoo such as Climbazole and ZPTO was well preserved in the shampoo formulation suggesting the non-interference of shampoo base in the AD activity. This is the first study to the best of our knowledge to establish the AD activity of a shampoo in liaison with its usage at in vitro level with the scope of its likely real activity in vivo.
