Episode notes
Dandruff Treatment and Toxicity
- Dandruff is often treated with zinc pyrithione (ZPT), an antifungal and antibacterial agent.
- However, ZPT is banned in Europe due to potential reproductive toxicity.
The Role of Malassezia in Dandruff
- The fungus Malassezia, part of the normal skin flora, can become pathogenic and cause dandruff.
- An overgrowth of this fungus, triggered by an imbalance in the skin's microflora, leads to inflammation and flaking.
Kimchi Juice for Dandruff
- Restore the scalp's microflora by applying diluted kimchi juice.
- Leave it on for 15 minutes after shampooing, then rinse.
