    Glossary Piroctone Olamine

    antifungal agent used to treat dandruff and scalp conditions

    Piroctone Olamine is an antifungal agent commonly used in shampoos and other hair care products to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It works by inhibiting the growth of the yeast Malassezia, which is often responsible for these scalp conditions. This compound is favored for its effectiveness and lower irritation potential compared to other antifungal agents like zinc pyrithione.
