What is dandruff?

Dandruff is a fairly common scalp condition in which white or yellow flakes (scales) develop on the scalp. It may cause itching, irritation, or redness, and can lead to great frustration.

A healthy scalp constantly sheds dead skin cells, but these are so small that they don’t cause a problem. However, other factors can lead to the development of visible flakes on the scalp, such as excessive sebum (oil) production, dryness, or yeast overgrowth.

The Main Reasons Dandruff Develops

1. When the rate of scalp cell growth increases, the dead skin cells can clump together with sebum on the scalp and form flakes.
2. An excessively oily scalp can trigger dandruff.
3. The scalp naturally contains Malassezia yeast, and when these yeast cells multiply too quickly, they irritate the scalp and can cause seborrheic dermatitis, a fungal imbalance.
4. Extreme dryness of the scalp can lead to fine flaking.
5. Certain hair products can irritate sensitive skin.
6. Environmental factors can also aggravate scalp irritation.
7. A deficiency in zinc, B vitamins, or Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as high stress levels, can promote dandruff formation.

Tips For Controlling Dandruff Naturally

1. Wash hair regularly to remove excess oil and dead skin buildup.
2. Gently massage the scalp to stimulate blood circulation.
3. Use Shampoo Anti-Dandruff 2-3 times weekly.
4. Eat a balanced diet rich in zinc, healthy fats, and B vitamins.
5. Aloe Multi Plus contains 8 B vitamins as well as zinc.
6. Reduce stress and stay well hydrated.

Powerfull Ingredients

Freshly pressed Aloe Ferox Juice is rich in natural anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and healing compounds – ideal for scalp care:

• Soothes and softens the scalp
• Polysaccharides and glycoproteins in Aloe ferox reduce itching and irritation, and relieve inflammation.
• Helps normalise sebum levels – it moisturises a dry scalp, but also reduces excess oil where needed.
• Anthraquinones and saponins in Aloe ferox have gentle antifungal properties that discourage the overgrowth of Malassezia yeast.
• Natural enzymes in the aloe leaf juice help loosen and remove flakes without drying out the scalp.
• Amino acids and minerals nourish the scalp and support faster recovery, restoring balance and comfort.

Zinc Pyrithione (used in Shampoo Anti-Dandruff)

• Has strong antifungal and antibacterial properties, particularly effective against Malassezia yeast.
• Reduces itching, redness and flaking.

Oral zinc intake

• Zinc is essential for the normal growth and renewal of skin cells. A deficiency can cause irregular or overly rapid cell turnover, leading to dandruff.
• Zinc also helps regulate sebum production. Too much sebum can promote Malassezia growth, while too little oil can cause dryness and flaking.
