Rida Hair Research Institute Psoriasis Shampoo — Manuka Honey Scalp Treatment for Itchy, Flaky Scalps (Sulfate- & Paraben-Free)

Rida Hair Research Institute Psoriasis Shampoo is a Manuka honey–infused scalp wash formulated to soothe itchy, flaky scalps and help restore visible scalp comfort for people with psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis and other common scalp irritations.

If your scalp is frequently red, flaky, or itchy, this concentrated shampoo combines medical-grade Manuka honey with exfoliating and cleansing agents to reduce build-up and support a calmer scalp environment after each wash. The formula is free of sulfates, parabens and dyes, so it’s suitable for color-treated hair and daily use for both men and women seeking targeted scalp care.

How does this shampoo address persistent itching and flaking?

The shampoo works by gently exfoliating dead skin and loosening scale while Manuka honey helps retain moisture and soothe irritated areas. Regular use can reduce visible flakes and ease sensations of tightness so your scalp feels cleaner and more comfortable.

• Medical-grade Manuka honey to support hydration and comfort
• Exfoliating agents that remove build-up and loose scale
• Non-irritating surfactants that cleanse without stripping

Can I use this on color-treated or sensitive hair?

This formulation avoids sulfates, dyes and parabens, making it safe for most color-treated hair and less likely to aggravate sensitive scalps. It’s designed to clean and condition while minimizing color fade and preserving hair softness.

• Sulfate- and paraben-free to protect color and texture
• Gentle cleansing that preserves natural oils
• Suitable for frequent use as part of a maintenance routine

How should I use the shampoo for best results?

Use on wet hair, lathering thoroughly into the scalp and leaving it on for 2–3 minutes before rinsing to allow active ingredients to work. For stubborn symptoms, follow the package directions or your practitioner’s advice for frequency and duration.

• Apply to wet hair, massage into scalp, leave 2–3 minutes, then rinse
• Pair with a gentle conditioner if you have dry lengths
• Use consistently for several washes to assess improvement

Will this treat conditions like ringworm or folliculitis?

The shampoo is formulated to support scalp hygiene and reduce factors that contribute to irritation, such as excess oil and build-up. For diagnosed infections such as fungal ringworm or bacterial folliculitis, consult a healthcare professional for targeted medical treatment; this product can be used as supportive scalp care.

• Supports cleanliness and reduces build-up that can worsen irritation
• Can be part of aftercare alongside any prescribed treatments
• Not a replacement for prescription antifungal or antibiotic medications

Who is this for: This shampoo is intended for adults and teens experiencing chronic scalp dryness, flaking or irritation who want a non-sulfate, Manuka honey–enriched wash. It’s tailored for people with psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, or scalp acne seeking gentle yet effective cleansing that won’t strip color-treated hair. If you have a diagnosed scalp infection or severe symptoms, use this product as supportive care and consult a healthcare provider for medical treatment.
