      Did you know ?

      What two types of dandruff are there?

       

      Dry scalp and 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 amount of 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 question ?

      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.
