Dr. Müller Ichthyol Shampoo is designed for scalp care in situations such as dandruff, itching and seborrheic-prone scalp conditions. Its key component is Ictasol, an ichthyol derivative known for antiseptic properties, which makes the formula relevant for people whose scalp discomfort is linked with excess oiliness, visible flakes and imbalance of scalp microflora.
The cleansing system combines Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate. This helps remove excess sebum and loose flakes from the scalp and hair, while using a blend of surfactants rather than relying on a single cleansing agent. Urea helps moisturise the scalp and gently soften dead skin cells, and lactic acid supports the skin’s pH and gentle cell renewal.
This product is best understood as a care and cleansing shampoo, not as a medicine. It may be a good choice if you want a targeted shampoo for recurring flakes and scalp itchiness, especially when ordinary cosmetic shampoos do not leave the scalp feeling comfortable. If flaking is severe, painful, spreading, or accompanied by broken skin or persistent irritation, it is sensible to ask a dermatologist or pharmacist for advice.
