Sanicapyl™

The scalp undergoes constant renewal, shedding dead skin cells as flakes. Yet, these flakes only become visible if many dead skin cells clump together. The most common cause of dandruff is the skin fungus Pityrosporum ovale. This fungus typically populates the healthy scalp without causing dandruff. It lives off fats from the sebaceous glands of the scalp.

As it metabolizes these fats, the fungus releases substances that irritate the scalp, causing itchiness. Scratching then leads to inflammations and infections. Finally, the scalp responds to these irritations by forming and, in turn, discarding cells more prolifically. The result is dandruff.

The botanical active complex Sanicapyl™ prevents the new formation of dandruff reduces sebum production by the scalp, and imparts shine to the hair. It is a natural, preservative-free combination of active ingredients with a performance comparable to zinc pyrithione and is suitable for all hair types.

The analysis of the clinical trial showed that 1% Sanicapyl™ in a shampoo formulation leads to a significant reduction in dandruff formation. The action of this complex is comparable to the action of 1% zinc pyrithione. The action of Sanicapyl™ persists even after the treatment period.

Sanicapyl™ regulates sebum production and soothes the irritated scalp more effectively than zinc pyrithione. It exhibits a distinct moisturizing effect and thus upholds the skin's barrier function. The scalp is nursed back to health and returns to its proper equilibrium.

Another unique feature of the innovative active is its care for the hair structure. Sanicapyl™ boosts the shine and sleekness of the hair. Compared to zinc pyrithione, it exhibits a far more effective action on the hair texture. Sanicapyl™ is thus an innovation for adequate care of the scalp and hair. It suits all hair types and can be worked into shampoos, lotions, and conditioners.
