Product Summary

Selsun Shampoo is a medicated shampoo used to treat dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis (a greasy, crusting, itching scalp caused by excess oil).

It works against dandruff in two ways:

  • by reducing greasiness of the scalp
  • by slowing down the growth of the layer of skin cells on the scalp that cause dandruff.

Directions

  • Not recommended for children under 5 years.
  • Children aged 5–14, adults and elderly: Apply liberally twice weekly for two weeks, then once weekly for the next two weeks.
  • Thereafter, use only as often as necessary to control the condition.

Ingredients

Each 100ml of shampoo contains 2.5 g of the active ingredient Selenium Sulphide (selenium disulphide Ph. Eur).

The other ingredients are bentonite, titanium dioxide, citric acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, glyceryl monoricinoleate S, monoethanolamine lauryl sulphate, Empigen BB, perfume, sodium chloride, purified water.
