PHYTO Scalp Solution Sebum Control Oil-Reducing Shampoo for Oily Hair 250 ml

PHYTO Scalp Solution Sebum Control Oil-Reducing Shampoo 250 ml is a concentrated shampoo for oily scalp and hair that becomes greasy quickly, loses volume and appears flat shortly after washing.

The formula removes impurities, styling-product residue and excess oil from the roots, leaving the scalp purified and the hair light, flexible and fresh. Regular use helps slow down re-oiling and gradually extend the time between washes.

At the heart of the formula is sarcosine, an amino-acid derivative that targets excessive sebum production and helps maintain the balance of oily scalp microbiota. Rosemary extract helps protect the scalp from external stressors and oxidative stress.

The shampoo contains 81% ingredients of natural origin and is silicone-free. It has been dermatologically tested on oily scalps.

The formula contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate and PEG ingredients and should therefore not be described as sulfate-free or PEG-free.

Who is it suitable for?

• People with oily scalp and hair that becomes greasy quickly.
• Hair that appears flat against the roots shortly after washing.
• Hair that rapidly loses volume and freshness because of excess oil.
• People who wash their hair very frequently due to rapid re-oiling.
• Oily roots with normal or dry lengths, combined with lightweight care for the ends.

Key ingredients:

• Sarcosine – helps target excessive sebum production and rebalance oily scalp.
• Rosemary extract – helps protect the scalp from external stressors and oxidative stress.
• Glycerin – helps maintain a more comfortable feel after cleansing.
• Panthenol – supports softness, flexibility and a conditioned appearance.

• Glyceryl oleate – contributes to a softer hair feel after rinsing.

Study results:

• 80% less sebum measured after the first application;
• approximately two times less sebum after one month;
• approximately three fewer shampoos per month;
• 86% of participants reported lighter-feeling hair;
• 90% of participants reported long-lasting freshness after one week.

The results are from a dermatologically supervised study involving 21 volunteers with oily scalps. Individual results may vary.

How to use:

1. Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a small amount directly to the scalp.
3. Massage gently with the fingertips to remove impurities and excess sebum.
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Repeat the application to improve contact between the active ingredients and the cleansed scalp.
6. Rinse thoroughly again.

The manufacturer recommends use at least twice weekly for one month. Frequency may be adapted according to the level of excess oil. A gentle frequent-use shampoo may be alternated when daily cleansing is required.
