Hi,
I agree with you that coal tar usually makes matters worse as it tends to burn the skin a little, most dandruff shampoos work on the same princple of burning the top layer of scalp, leaving a new and clear skin behind. Obviously this is self perpetuating and not an actual solution.

Because of the ammount of clients that I have come across with the same problem I endevoured to develop a shampoo that heals and not conceals the problem.

Based on the fact that Borage seed oil is so effective on eczema,psoriasis and dermatitus it seemed obvious that a Borage based shampoo was the answer.

This shampoo has proved to be a great success and if you want take a look at my website for further information please do.

Best regards,
Rosie Laing

I know it has been a long time since you posted your question, but I'd like to know what you've done in the meantime and if it's helped. I am very sensitive to almost all drugstore brand and even salon shampoos because of the detergents they use (usually sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl/laureth sulfate or some combination of these.)

Perhaps you'd like to try some soap-based shampoos. Because soap is basic, and hair is healthiest in slightly acidic environments (around 5.5 pH--7.0 is neutral), these shampoos WILL make your hair a teeny bit coarser (unless you use a good acidifying conditioner) but the unbearable itching and sometimes pain I experienced with my daily showers using the old shampoos vanished. I will never ever go back to those.

You can usually find some liquid soap-based shampoos in health food stores with sizeable cosmetic sections. One popular and good company for some soap-based shampoos is Aubrey Organics. Look around their website: http://www.aubrey-organics.com/

I haven't tried their products since they introduced orange pith juice (in their Aloe Essence line and GPB Balancing Shampoo) in their formulations! I'm excited because the juice may make the shampoos a little more acidic and will hopefully get rid of the slightly coarse hair feeling.

Cheers and good luck!

Hi there

I suffered from severe itchy flacky scalp and Seborrheic Dermatitis for over 3 years.

After surfing the web on day I came across this site www.refreshedskin.com , seemingly this site is created by people who suffered from SD and Ezcema.

I downloaded the program that they offered and 2 days after starting it my skin and scalp has really improved. My scalp now no longer flaky or itchy. I hope this site helps you as it has helped me and I wish you best.
