The human scalp is susceptible to microbial build-up if not thoroughly and frequently washed with the appropriate cleansing
agents such as shampoos. Natural oils are presented in our scalp and it called as a sebum and it is a fuel/food for the dandruff-causing
microbe. Malassezia feeds off these oils, breaking it down into by products, including oleic acid; formation of oleic acid is a starting/
kick point of dandruff. Approximately 50% people in the world sensitive to the oleic acid and affected by the dandruff. Overall
clinical study results revealed that usage of tested anti-dandruff shampoo is effective and significantly reduce the dandruff fungi in
scalp. Efficacy was analyzed with changes in the intensity of dandruff over 6 weeks from baseline to treatment visits using VisualAnalogue Scale (VAS). The average response of Visual Analogue Scale for visit1 and visit 5 was 6.287 and 0.350 respectively. The
average response/changes of Visual Analogue Scale score for Visit1 is 100.00 and Visit 2 having the score of 74.360; Visit 3 having
the 47.924, Visit 4 having the score of 19.453 and Visit 5 was having the score of 5.567. It is concluded that there is statistically
significant difference between the average response of Visual Analogue Score (VAS) between Visit 1 and Visit 5 which is indicative
of remarkable improvement of dandruff over a period of 6 weeks. The tea tree oil in the formula act as a carrier to carry the actives
in to the deeper part of the scalp; synergistic combination of natural and synthetic chemicals helps to control the dandruff. Overall
study confirmed that the synergistic combination of synthetic anti-dandruff and natural ingredients plays a crucial role in control
the anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and local immune stimulatory actions.
