The routine of... Ashleigh

My dandruff is my biggest complex. I have dandruff that comes back from time to time and is very persistent. I have tried several treatments and shampoos before, but I feel like they have damaged my hair. With Klorane's Galangal range, I can finally treat the root problem without compromising the health of my hair. I use the rebalancing Shampoo with Galangal frequently to maintain a healthy scalp. The results are here!

1. WHITE AND GREEN CLAYS

Derived from natural rocks, they are both very rich in minerals and trace elements. It balances the sebum on the surface of the scalp and helps to eliminate impurities. White clay, commonly known as kaolin, is very rich in silica and helps soften and soothe irritated scalps.

2. GALANGAL

Alpinia galanga is a plant native to Southeast Asia that is used in traditional Chinese and Ayruvedic medicine for its purifying and cleansing properties. We have selected it for its effectiveness and quick action, which helps remove up to 100% of visible dandruff from the first use* *Report Consumer Use Test Anti Dandruff Shampoo for all Types of Dandruff, on 70 subjects, used for at least once a week for 21 days.

3. LACTIC ACID

An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates and hydrates the scalp and hair.

A FEW WORDS FROM OUR EXPERT

What are the two types of dandruff?

With a dry scalp comes dry dandruff.

Dry dandruff takes the form of small white flakes that do not stick to the scalp. They can fall on your shoulders like snow when you style your hair. You can treat it with an anti-dandruff shampoo. Whether dry or oily, the solution to dandruff is the same: gently moisturise and soothe, remove dandruff with a gentle exfoliating product and provide lasting cleansing of the scalp and its microbiome.

With an oily scalp comes oily dandruff

Oily dandruff is caused by hyper-seborrhea, i.e. an overproduction of sebum. They are usually much larger than dry dandruff and can clump together with the sebum acting as glue. This is a real vicious circle: the stronger the seborrheic flow, the more the asphyxiation of the epidermis worsens and the imbalance of the microbiome occurs. Whether dry or oily, the solution to dandruff is the same: gently moisturise and soothe, remove dandruff with a gentle exfoliating product and provide lasting cleansing of the scalp and its microbiome.

Do you have any questions?

Our experts and botanists answer your questions.

Our Galangal comes from Indonesia and is grown on the island of Java with respect for the local communities and environment thanks to a programme set up by the Klorane Botanical Foundation.

Yes! Galangal works four times faster, and protects you for at least 1 month before dandruff reappears. In addition, Galangal is safe to use, unlike potentially harmful chemicals such as Zinc Pyrithione.

This is an eco-friendly choice from Klorane: the fact that it is in powder form allows water to be saved when manufacturing the product as well as half the CO2 emissions compared to a traditional product. In addition, this type of galenic formula means that no preservatives are needed and it' s wonderful to see this powder transform into a beautiful creamy foam upon contact with just a few drops of water.

Absolutely! It will treat dandruff of any kind and purify the scalp for a long time, but nothing prevents you from combining it with a conditioner from another range for dry scalp if you have dry dandruff, such as our Mango Intense Nourishing Mask, or Intense Nourishing Mask if you have oily dandruff to regulate the
sebum on the scalp.

Responsible sourcing

The Galangal chosen for our formulas is grown on the island of Java in Indonesia by local communities and harvested at full maturity with respect for the plant and the environment, in a sustainable and responsible way.

A partnership with six local communities to harvest and replant galangal plants.
Biodiversity awareness programmes for children.

Respect for the environment

To fight against deforestation in Indonesia, the Klorane Botanical Foundation is committed to the NGO Coeur de Forêt with a programme aimed at replanting 10,000 trees in agroforestry on the island of Flores, distributed according to useful and locally threatened species. It supports local producers in the responsible culture of galangal and participates in
raising children's awareness of reforestation, sustainable agricultural practices and biodiversity.

More respectful packaging

We have prioritised the eco-design of the Galangal range of products.
In addition, all the packaging in the range is recyclable, and our shampoo bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic.
