Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief Shampoo
Selenium sulfide is listed at 1 percent.
Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief Shampoo is the stubborn-dandruff bottle. The page says you can use it at every wash. More of that scalp microbe is gone after 3 washes than after 6 with a basic flake wash.
An article on the Canadian site calls P&G the parent company. A plant page names Taicang, China, and says that site produces the brand. This listing prints no millilitre size and no Canadian town.
Peppermint oil and menthol sit in the ingredient list.
Product Highlights
- •Selenium sulfide, not pyrithione zinc

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief made in Canada?
No factory town is printed for Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief. The listing also skips a fill size, so the shelf bottle is the only place to read millilitres.
What does the 3-wash line actually compare?
Malassezia killed at 3 washes, versus 6 washes with an ordinary anti-dandruff shampoo, is the test on Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief. Visible flakes still need regular use.
Can this clinical shampoo be used every wash?
Yes. Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief says the formula stays gentle enough for every wash. That line is about scalp feel, not about a bottling city.
Which mint oils are on the clinical label?
Mentha piperita and mentha arvensis oils are both on Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief, along with menthol. Those are scent oils, not the anti-dandruff active.
Does the clinical page name pyrithione zinc?
No. Head & Shoulders Clinical Itch Relief leads with selenium sulfide at 1 percent. Pyrithione zinc is the active on other Head & Shoulders bottles, not this one.
