Anti-dandruff shampoo is often associated with being clinical and medicinal but OUAI is changing perceptions with its latest hair care launch. The brand's free-from Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is powered by potent ingredients like salicylic acid and propanediol caprylate to provide scalp soothing and relief. Free of SLS, SLES, parabens, phthalates, and animal testing, this shampoo is safe for those with color-treated hair, chemically treated hair, as well as those with keratin treatments and Brazilian blowouts.
Unlike most anti-dandruff shampoos, this one shares a pleasant scent. CAPE TOWN is of the brand’s newest fragrances with top notes of ginger, basil, and spearmint. OUAI founder Jen Atkin says, "Our goal with Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is to break the stigma of dandruff. One in five people has dandruff, yet it’s still very taboo to talk about it."
