Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo

Pyrithione zinc is listed at 1 percent.

Head & Shoulders sells Classic Clean in a 370 mL bottle. The page says the wash reaches 7 surface layers and skips parabens. The scent is the light Classic Clean one.

A Head & Shoulders Canada article calls P&G the parent company. That article does not name a bottling town in Canada. A separate line on the product page calls the brand first in dandruff shampoo by sales volume.

Volume is not a factory.

Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo does not print a Canadian plant on its product page. A page on the same Canadian site calls P&G the parent. A manufacturing note names Taicang, China, and the number-one line is sales volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo made in Canada?

The Classic Clean product page does not name a Canadian plant. A Head & Shoulders Canada article refers to parent company P&G. Treat the 370 mL bottle as an import unless the pack you buy prints a Canadian town.

What active is in Head & Shoulders Classic Clean?

Head & Shoulders Classic Clean lists pyrithione zinc at 1 percent as the anti-dandruff active. The page also names zinc carbonate among the other ingredients.

How big is the Classic Clean bottle?

The Head & Shoulders Canada page for Classic Clean shows a 370 mL size. Check the shelf tag, because other Head & Shoulders lines come in different volumes.

Is Classic Clean paraben-free?

Yes. The Head & Shoulders Classic Clean page says the daily shampoo is paraben-free. That line is about preservatives, not about where the bottle is filled.

Does Head & Shoulders claim to be Canada's top dandruff shampoo?

The Classic Clean page says the brand is Canada's number one dandruff shampoo by volume of sales, and a dermatologist pick for personal use. That footnote is about sales, not a factory address.
