GOLDEN PHARM Birch Tar Shampoo is best suited to hair routines where the main concern is an oily scalp, heavy-feeling roots, visible flaking or a scalp that loses freshness soon after washing. Its birch tar extract is included as a traditional cosmetic scalp-care ingredient valued for a purifying, oil-controlling effect, while the cleansing agents help lift away sebum, residue and styling-product buildup from the scalp surface.
This can be useful if flakes seem to cling to the roots or hair, because oil and residue can make them more noticeable. By washing the scalp more thoroughly, the hair roots may feel lighter and the scalp may look cleaner after cleansing. The formula also contains glycerin, which helps soften the washing effect so the scalp does not feel as stripped as it might with a very harsh cleanser.
It is still a cosmetic shampoo, not a medicated treatment. If your scalp is persistently painful, inflamed, cracked, intensely itchy or you are unsure whether flaking is caused by a skin condition, it is better to ask a dermatologist or pharmacist for advice before relying on any cosmetic shampoo alone.
