Can I use this shampoo if I have a sensitive scalp or use other active products?

If you have a sensitive scalp, it is important to introduce this shampoo with care. While the formula is designed to be gentle, birch tar is a potent active ingredient. Start by using it once or twice a week to observe how your scalp responds. If you experience any irritation, redness, or discomfort, you should stop using it immediately. Sensitive skin may react differently to traditional ingredients like tar, so monitoring your skin's reaction is crucial.

Additionally, if you are already using other active scalp products—such as medicated treatments, exfoliants, or strong anti-dandruff shampoos—be cautious about combining them. Using several active products at once can increase the risk of dryness or irritation. Alternating this tar shampoo with a milder, hydrating shampoo may help reduce the chance of over-drying your scalp. This approach allows you to benefit from the keratolytic and sebostatic effects of tar without overwhelming your scalp's natural balance. Always avoid contact with your eyes, and if you have any chronic skin conditions or are unsure about compatibility with your current routine, consult a specialist before use.
