The Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula is a lightweight, water-free leave-in scalp serum for a dry, flaky or sensitive-feeling scalp.

It is made with Manuka, Tea Tree, Foraha, Karanja Seed, Jojoba, Sea Buckthorn, Grapeseed, Black Currant Seed and Neem Oils and Vitamin E, with Lavender, Rosemary, Oregano, Lemongrass and Orange Peel Oils. It is a cosmetic product, not a medicated one.

No. The Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula is a cosmetic scalp serum made with plant oils and essential oils, not a medicated product or a drug, and it is not a treatment for psoriasis. It is made to moisturize a dry, flaky-feeling scalp and leave it feeling comfortable and fresh. If you have scalp psoriasis, ask your doctor or dermatologist how it fits with your care, and see them if your scalp is sore, bleeding, spreading or getting worse.

Gentle, steady care helps a scalp with psoriasis feel more comfortable, and a moisturizing serum like the Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula can be part of it. Wash with lukewarm water and a mild, sulfate-free shampoo, massage with your fingertips, never your nails, and do not pick or scratch at scales. Applying a scalp oil or serum after washing helps the scalp feel softer. Keep using any medicine your dermatologist prescribes, and see them if patches spread, crack, bleed or keep getting worse.

Scalp psoriasis happens when the immune system is overactive and new skin cells build up too quickly, forming thick, scaly patches; a gentle serum like the Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula can help the scalp feel moisturized, but it does not change the cause. Genes play a part, and flares are often linked to stress, cold dry weather, skin injury, illness, smoking and some medicines. It is not caused by poor hygiene and is not contagious. A dermatologist can help you find your triggers and the right care.

Scalp psoriasis usually looks like raised, red or darker patches covered with silvery-white or gray scales, and many people with these patches use a gentle serum like the Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula to help the scalp feel moisturized. On darker skin, patches can look purple or dark brown. They can be small or cover the whole scalp, often extending past the hairline, and the scales may flake off like heavy dandruff. Dandruff and other scalp problems can look similar, so see a dermatologist to know for sure.

After shampooing and conditioning, gently towel-dry your hair and part it in sections. Apply a small amount of the Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula directly to your scalp and massage it in gently with your fingertips, never your nails, until it absorbs. It is a leave-in serum, so there is no need to rinse; blow-dry or air-dry as usual. It can be used daily, and you can layer it with our other hair serums. Avoid picking or scratching at scales.

Tea tree oil is a popular scalp-care ingredient that leaves the scalp feeling clean and fresh, and it is one of the main oils in the Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula. It is not a treatment for psoriasis, and research on it is limited. It is strong, so it should always be diluted in carrier oils, as it is in ours, and never used straight on the skin. Some people are sensitive to it, so try a small area first and stop if your scalp becomes red or more irritated.

Manuka oil is an essential oil distilled from the leaves of the manuka tree, Leptospermum Scoparium, native to New Zealand, and it is the first ingredient in the Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula. It has a warm, herbal scent and is valued in skin and scalp care for leaving skin feeling clean and fresh. Manuka oil is different from manuka honey, though both come from the same tree. Like any essential oil, it should be diluted, as it is in our formula, and kept away from the eyes.

Both are water-free, alcohol-free scalp serums made with plant oils and essential oils, and both are cosmetic, not medicated. The Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula is made for a dry, flaky or sensitive-feeling scalp, with moisturizing Karanja, Sea Buckthorn, Black Currant Seed and Jojoba Oils and Lavender, and you apply a small amount to the whole scalp after washing. Our Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula has a cooler, mintier scent with Peppermint and is applied a drop at a time to the areas that need freshening.

The Psoriasis Soften Scalp Anti-Bacterial Formula is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and every ingredient is listed on this page. It is water-free and alcohol-free, and free from sulfates, parabens and artificial fragrances. It contains Foraha (Tamanu) Oil, so check the full list if you have a nut allergy. Its essential oils are strong, so try it on a small area first if your skin is sensitive. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.
