Herbal Traditions Birch Tar Shampoo, 400 ml

Herbal Traditions Birch Tar Shampoo, 400 ml is a tar shampoo for oily hair and scalp that need a deeper cleanse without feeling harsh. Birch tar has a long history in traditional scalp and skin products, mainly because it helps the skin feel fresher and look cleaner.

When people choose it

People usually choose this type of shampoo when:

• the roots become greasy quickly;
• the scalp is prone to visible flakes;
• the skin feels less settled after styling products, hats, or frequent washing.

Key ingredients

The formula combines birch tar with panthenol and allantoin.

• Birch tar is valued in cosmetic use for its purifying effect: it helps remove excess sebum and residue from the scalp, so hair stays lighter at the roots.
• Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, helps attract and hold moisture in the hair shaft and on the skin surface, which can make hair feel softer and less rough after washing.
• Allantoin is included for its soothing action and is often used in scalp and skin products when a gentler feel is important.

What makes this shampoo practical is the balance between cleansing and scalp-friendly ingredients. In a shampoo for oilier roots, strong washing agents alone can leave the skin feeling tight and encourage rebound greasiness. Here, the added panthenol and allantoin help make the cleansing step milder in feel. This can suit people who want a tar-based shampoo but prefer a formula that is not focused on cleansing alone.

How to use it

It can fit well into a hair regimen for those who wash often because the scalp loses freshness fast, or for anyone who wants a clarifying option in rotation with a milder shampoo. If hair is oily at the roots but feels dry through the lengths, apply mainly to the scalp and let the foam rinse through the rest of the hair.

Important notes

As with any active scalp shampoo, pay attention to how your skin responds.

• If the scalp is very sensitive, damaged, or easily irritated, it is sensible to patch test first.
• Alternate with a gentler product if needed.
• Avoid contact with eyes.
