Chemspec CHEM PO(Piroctone Olamine)

CHEM PO(Piroctone Olamine) Dandruff is a common scalp disorder affecting almost half of the population at the post-pubertal age and of any gender and ethnicity.It often causes itching. The major cause of dandruff is fungus Malassezia furfur Chemspec's anti-dandruff activities destroy the fungus infection responsible for the dandruff and work against the formation of new dandruff, leaving the scalp clean, healthy and itch free. Chem PO (Piroctone Olamine) is a widely established and highly effective anti-dandruff agent even at low inclusion levels. With wide ranging solubility, it can be used in a variety of hair care formulations. Uniquely for an anti-dandruff active, Chem PO has also been found to increase the viscosity of surfactant systems, reducing the need for alternative thickeners in a formulation and aiding stability.
