DERMA E Vegan Scalp Relief Conditioner (10 oz) Review – Soothe Flaky Scalp with Psorzema® Herbal Blend

DERMA E Vegan Scalp Relief Conditioner (10 oz) – Psorzema® Herbal Blend

A soothing, de-flaking conditioner with tea tree, salicylic acid, menthol, and a therapeutic blend of neem, burdock & bearberry to calm dry, itchy scalps while keeping hair soft and tangle-free.

Product Overview

If your scalp feels tight, itchy, or flaky, DERMA E Scalp Relief Conditioner is designed to comfort the skin on your head first—then your hair. It pairs salicylic acid (to lift flakes) with tea tree oil and menthol (to cool and clarify), plus hydrators like panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) and botanical oils to keep strands smooth. The signature Psorzema Herbal Blend neem, burdock, and bearberry supports a calmer, more balanced scalp over time.

Ingredient Breakdown

What’s Doing the Work
Ingredient Benefit Notes
Salicylic Acid Exfoliates to lift flakes and clear buildup on the scalp. BHA; helps de-flake without harsh scrubbing.
Tea Tree Oil Helps purify and calm an irritated scalp. Fresh, botanical scent; naturally clarifying.
Menthol Instant cooling sensation; eases itch and tightness. Tingling feel is normal and temporary.
Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) Hydrates, reduces frizz, improves slip and softness. Great for post-wash detangling.
Aloe, Argan & Sweet Almond Oils Light moisture and shine without heavy residue. Hair feels conditioned, not weighed down.
White Willow Bark Supports a clearer, more comfortable scalp. Plant source of salicylates.
Psorzema Herbal Blend (Neem, Burdock, Bearberry) Botanical support for dry, scaling, irritated scalp. Derm-favorite trio for comfort and balance.

Why It Stands Out

Unlike heavy anti-dandruff formulas, this conditioner targets flakes with salicylic acid yet keeps hair touchably soft via panthenol and lightweight oils. The cooling tea tree + menthol combo brings fast relief, and the Psorzema® herbal blend supports long-term scalp comfort—all in a formula that’s vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens & sulfates.

Immediate cooling relief

How to Use

Cautions & Considerations

Patch Test First

If you’re new to salicylic acid or tea tree, do a small patch test behind the ear for 24 hours.

Avoid Eye Contact

Rinse thoroughly if the product gets into eyes. Menthol can sting on contact.

Sensitive to Menthol/Fragrance?

The natural tea tree/menthol aroma is noticeable; discontinue if irritation occurs.

Medical Conditions

For persistent or severe scalp issues, consult a dermatologist to rule out underlying conditions.
