Dermaharmony 2% Pyrithione Zinc Face & Body Cleansing Bar 4 oz — pH‑Balanced, Fragrance-Free Anti-Dandruff Wash

Dermaharmony’s 2% Pyrithione Zinc Face & Body Cleansing Bar is an unscented, pH-balanced syndet bar formulated to cleanse face, body, and hair while addressing flaking and irritation associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.

This compact 4 oz cleansing bar is designed as an all-in-one wash for adults and children who prefer a fragrance-free, plant-forward formula. It uses 2% pyrithione zinc as the active ingredient and a mild, non-soap base led by Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), a gentle coconut-derived surfactant often called "baby foam." The bar is neutral pH (about 5.1), made without sulfates, parabens, microplastics, or petroleum, and is suitable for both hard and soft water.

How should I use this bar for best results?

Use daily or as your healthcare provider recommends. Work the bar into a warm lather, massage the lather onto affected areas for at least 30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Substitute it for your regular soap or shampoo on days you need targeted cleansing.

• Wet skin or hair, rub bar between palms or on a washcloth to create lather
• Gently massage lather into face, scalp, or body for 30+ seconds to allow contact time
• Rinse well and pat dry; follow with moisturizer if desired
• Safe for everyday use by adults and children unless otherwise directed

Will this bar irritate sensitive skin or upset skin’s pH?

The formulation is a syndet (synthetic detergent) with a skin-friendly pH near 5.1, close to natural skin acidity. It avoids common irritants like added fragrance and harsh sulfates, and includes soothing, plant-derived components such as oat flour and argan oil.

• pH balanced to approximately 5.1 for mildness
• Fragrance-free and free from parabens, sulfates, and PEGs
• Contains emollients like argan oil and oat flour to reduce dryness

Can I use this on my scalp and hair as well as my face and body?

Yes — the bar is formulated as an "everything" cleanser suitable for face, body, and hair. Its active ingredient, pyrithione zinc, is commonly used in anti-dandruff products and the mild surfactant base cleans without stripping natural oils when used properly.

• Works as a shampoo bar alternative for dandruff-prone scalps
• Mild SCI surfactant preserves softness and reduces tightness
• Rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue on hair or skin

What ingredients make this bar effective and safe?

The active ingredient is 2% pyrithione zinc; inactive components support gentle cleansing, conditioning, and product stability. The most abundant surfactant is Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), derived from coconut, alongside plant oils, oat flour, and vitamin E for skin comfort.

• 2% pyrithione zinc — active ingredient for flaking and scaling control
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) — a very mild coconut-derived cleanser
• Argan oil, oat kernel flour, and natural vitamin E for conditioning

Who is this for: This Dermaharmony bar is intended for anyone seeking an unscented, plant-forward cleansing bar that can replace soap and many shampoos — especially people managing dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, those with sensitive skin who want a pH-balanced wash, and families looking for a gentle daily cleanser. It’s made in the USA, vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated to be gentle enough for routine use by adults and children unless your clinician advises otherwise.
