Cosmetic wording only
We make these as cosmetic shampoos. Acceptable: helps control flakes, soothes the feel of an itchy scalp, balances oil, gentle for daily use. Treatment claims, such as treats fungal infection or cures seborrhoeic dermatitis, belong to medicines and are not something a cosmetic label can say.
Gentle but effective
How we plan a scalp shampoo
We start with a mild cleansing base and add the comfort or flake-control actives.
Tolerance is tested before launch.
A comfort-led shampoo
Sensitive and itchy-scalp buyers want gentle, fragrance-light products.
