Design Essentials Peppermint & Aloe Anti-Itch Shampoo – 8 oz | Pyrithione Zinc Cooling Dandruff Relief

Design Essentials Peppermint & Aloe Therapeutics Anti-Itch Shampoo is a cooling, pyrithione zinc–infused cleanser that helps reduce flaking, soothe itching, and restore scalp moisture after a single use. This 8 oz bottle combines targeted actives with gentle surfactants to address common scalp concerns such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis without stripping hair. Formulated with pyrithione zinc to help control flakes, aloe to calm and hydrate, and peppermint for an invigorating cooling sensation, the shampoo aims to balance the scalp while leaving hair manageable. The scent and sensory cooling make it easy to use in daily or weekly routines where scalp comfort and visible flake control are priorities.

How quickly will I notice relief from itching and flaking?

Many users report an immediate cooling sensation from the peppermint and reduced itchiness after the first rinse, while visible flake control typically becomes more apparent after repeated use. Results vary by individual and severity of the scalp condition.

• Immediate cooling from peppermint during application
• Pyrithione zinc works to reduce flake formation over subsequent washes
• Aloe soothes and helps reduce scalp dryness that can trigger itching

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Use on wet hair, lather, rinse, and repeat if needed; follow-up washes help maintain control over flaking and itch. Concentrate the lather on the scalp and rinse thoroughly to remove residue and loosened flakes.

• Wet hair thoroughly before application
• Emulsify a quarter-size amount in your palm and massage into the scalp
• Rinse completely and repeat if desired for added cleansing

Will this shampoo dry out my hair or strip color-treated strands?

The formula is designed to cleanse without overly stripping natural oils, helping to restore moisture balance rather than removing hydration. For color-treated hair, rinse thoroughly and consider following with a conditioner formulated for colored or moisture-starved strands.

• Gentle cleansing base aimed to preserve moisture balance
• Aloe to add calming hydration to the scalp and hair shafts
• Complement with a color-safe conditioner when needed

Is this suitable for daily use and which scalp conditions is it for?

The shampoo can be used as part of a regular routine; frequency depends on individual scalp needs and how your skin responds. It targets dryness, itching, and visible flaking associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, offering both symptomatic relief and scalp soothing ingredients.

• Appropriate for occasional to regular use depending on symptoms
• Targets dandruff and scalp flaking with pyrithione zinc
