Frequently Asked Questions
Is Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care shampoo made in Canada?
No town is printed on Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care. The ingredient line spells the oil as Prunus amygdalus dulcis, the botanical name for sweet almond.
Does the dry scalp bottle list zinc carbonate?
Yes. Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care lists zinc carbonate after the surfactants. It sits apart from the 1 percent pyrithione zinc active.
How often does the page say to wash with a dandruff shampoo?
No single timetable is set for Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care. The page says some people wash with a dandruff shampoo two or three times a week, while others use it every shampoo.
What preservatives are named on the dry scalp label?
Sodium benzoate, methylchloroisothiazolinone, and methylisothiazolinone are on Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care. Those three are separate from the paraben-free line.
Is the number-one line a made-in-Canada claim?
No. Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care says the brand is Canada's top dandruff shampoo by volume of sales, and a dermatologist pick for personal use. The footnote is about sales.
