Last week, one of my clients requested for a scalp care blend for her daughter in Australia who has eczema (atopic dermatitis) and experiencing dandruff. This made her scalp dry, itchy, and inflamed.
I accepted the challenge and prepared a sample of a low lather co-wash or conditioning wash. Instead of using a shampoo with sulfates, a co-wash hair regimen is more likely to maintain the hair’s natural moisture levels, allowing it to grow healthier.
This test batch is made for sensitive scalp because it uses the following star ingredients:
Emollients - shea butter and virgin coconut oil to help soften, smooth, and reduce hair frizz.
Humectants - panthenol / Vitamin B5 and vegetable glycerin to absorb water and lock in moisture.
1% Zinc pyrithione, the active ingredient to reduce dandruff and colloidal oatmeal. It contains avenanthramides, which are anti-inflammatory plant chemicals that help soothe irritated skin.
I’m looking forward to her feedback and I’m praying that it will help soothe her scalp. Thankful for this chance to create and to help a client!
