Green People’s Organic Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Green People Organic Men’s Shampoo contains pineapple enzymes and aloe vera to calm irritation. Sold in easy-to-recycle sugar-cane packaging, it creates natural foam (coconut and yucca), anti-inflammatory oils of rosemary and tea tree (and quinoa protein to thicken hair).

Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing (avoid shea butter for latex allergies). Don’t use human shampoos/soaps on pets (the PH is different and some contain toxic macadamia oil) – read more on giving dogs baths with lukewarm water).

While everyone sheds dead skin cells on the scalp, people with dandruff experience it more frequently. Common in cold months due to indoor heating, oily dandruff however may be caused by overproduction of sebum, and makes flakes sticky and yellow.

Dandruff is more common in people with eczema or psoriasis, excessive hair styling, and lack of zinc or B vitamins in the diet.

Most anti-dandruff shampoos are made with dodgy ingredients, that are too harsh for your scalp. Most contain salicylic acid, coal tar and other ingredients that can dry your scalp (and dandruff is actually caused by dry scalps, so it makes the issue worse).

Stop watching the TV ads (presenters are being paid lots of money!) and instead switch to a good organic shampoo.
