DERMA E Scalp Relief Shampoo (10 oz) – Psorzema® Herbal Blend
A gentle, vegan shampoo designed to lift flakes, cool itch, and calm irritated scalps with salicylic acid, tea tree, menthol, and DERMA E’s Psorzema® blend of neem, burdock & bearberry.
Product Overview
If your scalp feels tight, itchy, or flaky, DERMA E Scalp Relief Shampoo focuses on scalp skin first and hair second. The formula pairs salicylic acid to loosen buildup with tea tree oil and menthol for instant cooling comfort. Soothing botanicals and lightweight conditioners help keep strands soft without leaving a heavy film.

Ingredient Breakdown
Why It Stands Out
Many anti-dandruff shampoos can feel harsh. This one leans gentle-but-effective: salicylic acid targets flakes, tea tree + menthol cool on contact, and Psorzema® herbs help maintain comfort with repeated use all in a vegan, cruelty-free formula free from parabens and sulfates.
Lifts Flakes Gently
BHA exfoliation loosens buildup without rough scrubbing.
Cools Itch Quickly
Menthol + tea tree deliver refreshing relief during wash.
Scalp-First Formula
Aloe and botanicals soothe while hair stays clean and soft.
Conscious & Vegan
Vegan, cruelty-free, and free from harsh additives.

Cautions & Considerations
Patch Test First
If you’re new to salicylic acid or tea tree, test behind the ear for 24 hours.
Avoid Eyes
Rinse immediately if contact occurs—menthol can sting the eye area.
Sensitive to Menthol/Essential Oils?
Discontinue if redness or burning persists; consider a menthol-free wash.
Medical Conditions
For psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, or severe flaking, consult a dermatologist.
