“I have been dealing with extremely bad dandruff since birth! My parents struggle so much trying to find something that helped my siblings and I, but never could. FINALLY at age 36 we have found the GOLDEN TICKET!!!”

How It Works
Most dandruff shampoos only address symptoms on the surface. This system targets the root cause — the yeast living beneath your flakes — so relief actually lasts.
-
1Disrupt the yeast’s hiding spot
The serum penetrates the biofilm shield that protects the fungus and keeps other products from working -
2Cleanse without feeding the problem
Our shampoo removes buildup and flakes without the oils and sulfates that trigger new flare-ups

Clean, Malassezia-Safe Formulations:
- Malassezia Safe All of our formulas are made without ingredients that can feed Malassezia (a common yeast that lives on skin and scalp and is associated with flakes, itching, and breakouts). No oils, fatty acids, or esters that this yeast can eat — anywhere in the routine.
- No Steroids Steroids like hydrocortisone are prescription-style ingredients sometimes used on irritated skin. With long-term use, they’re associated with skin thinning, and stopping them suddenly can lead to rebound flare-ups.
- No Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT) A common anti-dandruff ingredient found in many medicated shampoos. The European Union banned ZPT in cosmetics in March 2024 over concerns about reproductive safety, though it’s still widely used in U.S. products.
- No Coal Tar A leftover byproduct from processing coal, used in some old-school medicated shampoos. Has a strong smell, can stain hair and fabric, and has been flagged by health agencies as a possible cancer risk at higher exposure levels.
- No Selenium Sulfide A medicated ingredient found in some dandruff shampoos. Associated with scalp dryness, irritation, and changes in hair color with regular use.
- No Sulfates Harsh cleansers (like SLS and SLES — the bubbly stuff in many shampoos and body washes). Can strip away natural oils and leave sensitive scalps and skin feeling tight and dry.
- No Parabens A group of preservatives used in tons of personal care products to keep them from spoiling. Studied for acting like estrogen in the body and have been detected in human tissue samples.
- No Phthalates A group of chemicals often hidden inside “fragrance” blends and used to soften plastics. Studied for their effects on hormones and reproductive health.
- No Silicones Synthetic ingredients (look for “-cone” or “-siloxane” on labels) that coat hair to give it temporary slip and shine. Build up over time and can trap dirt and oil against the scalp.
- No PEGs Petroleum-based ingredients (made from the same source as gasoline) used to mix oil and water in many products. Often contaminated during manufacturing with 1,4-dioxane, a chemical of concern flagged by the EPA.
- No Synthetic Fragrance The words “fragrance” or “parfum” on a label can hide dozens of undisclosed chemicals. Among the most commonly reported sources of skin sensitivity in personal care products.
- No Mineral Oil A leftover byproduct from making gasoline, used in many lotions, balms, and hair products. Forms an occlusive layer on skin that can trap dirt against pores.
- No Artificial Dyes Synthetic colorings (the FD&C and D&C numbers you see on labels) added just to make products look pretty. Made from petroleum and associated with skin sensitivity reactions in some people.
- No Talc A soft mineral powder used in some body powders and makeup. Has been the subject of major lawsuits over contamination with asbestos, a regulated mineral fiber classified as a known carcinogen by international health agencies.
- No Triclosan An antibacterial chemical once added to soaps and personal care products everywhere. The FDA banned it from over-the-counter washes in 2016 because companies couldn’t prove it was safe or worked any better than plain soap.
- No BHA/BHT Synthetic preservatives used to keep oils in lotions, lip balms, and cosmetics from going rancid. Studied for their effects on hormones and flagged by some health agencies as ingredients of concern.
- No DEA/TEA Two foam-boosting and pH-balancing chemicals (diethanolamine and triethanolamine) used in many shampoos and cleansers. Can react with other ingredients in the bottle to form nitrosamines — a group of chemicals flagged as a safety concern.
- No EDTA A chemical added to many products to grab onto minerals in tap water and keep formulas stable. Doesn’t break down well in nature and builds up in lakes, rivers, and oceans after it rinses down the drain.

How to Use
- Apply the serum and massage it into your scalp and face thoroughly the night before (or at least two hours before) you plan to wash your hair - even if that is every week or two.
- The serum can also be rinsed out with water (without shampoo) either with a full rinse or with a wet washcloth in between braids across the scalp.
- Some folks with textured hair use the serum as a leave-in product, since the holistic ingredients will naturally absorb into the scalp for lasting relief.
- Apply a generous amount of serum to your moody skin or scalp before bed, making sure to cover all of the affected area.
- Massage in the formula as you thank your body for all its gifts.
- In the morning*, rinse your hair with water or wash with a malassezia-safe shampoo before styling. If applied to the face, the soothing ingredients will absorb overnight.
- Enjoy all-day peaceful skin and peace of mind.
*If you prefer to shower at night, just be sure to allow the serum to absorb into your scalp for at least two hours before rinsing or washing.
For Best Results
To further calm your scalp and prevent flakes and irritation, wash with the Scalp Therapy Shampoo.
For your face, first wash with the Purifying Facial Cleanser before applying the serum, then protect your skin's peace with the Soothing Malassezia Moisturizer after the serum.
Stinging Is Possible & Natural
If your skin is highly inflamed, you might experience a stinging sensation, mostly from the sea salt and tea tree essential oil. This is normal.
The aloe and other soothing ingredients will usually calm any discomfort within a minute or two. And as your skin barrier becomes healthier over time, the stinging will become less intense or disappear completely.
If your skin is extra sensitive and the stinging feels unbearable, you can dilute the serum by 50% with purified water and apply it to your skin. The serum is our strongest formula, so there are many folks in the Dermazen community who have seen great results with a diluted serum.
- After rinsing out all shampoo, apply a generous amount of conditioner to the lengths of your hair, focusing on your ends.
- While the formula is safe for your scalp, you'll get the best hydration and shine by concentrating on your hair.
- Gently distribute the conditioner through each strand of hair using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
- Let the conditioner sit for 1-2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water to lock in moisture and enhance your natural shine.
For Best Results
Pre-soak your scalp with the Calming Seborrheic Serum then moisturize with the MCT Scalp Moisturizer either overnight or at least one hour before showering.
Then wash with the Scalp Therapy Shampoo before applying the conditioner to ensure the healthiest possible hair and most peaceful scalp possible.
My hair feels dry or stripped after shampooing, what should I do?
Focus the conditioner on mid-lengths and ends rather than the scalp. For scalp dryness, pair with the MCT Scalp Moisturizer. Leave it on 1–2 minutes before rinsing to lock in hydration.
Can I use the conditioner on my scalp?
While safe for the scalp, it's most effective on hair lengths and ends. For scalp care, use MCT Scalp Moisturizer instead.
My hair feels weighed down or greasy, why?
Using too much conditioner, or applying it directly to the scalp, can weigh hair down. Use a smaller amount, focus on ends, and rinse thoroughly.
- Wet your hair in the shower or bath.
- Apply a generous amount of your deeply cleansing shampoo.
- Massage the holistic formula into your scalp as you thank your body for all its hard work.
- Allow the shampoo to absorb for at least 2 minutes. Use this time to cleanse and appreciate the rest of your body.
- Repeat this process once more to give your scalp and hair greater relief and nourishment.
For Best Results
Pre-soak your scalp with the Calming Seborrheic Serum then moisturize with the MCT Scalp Moisturizer either overnight or at least one hour before showering.
My hair feels dry or stripped after shampooing, what should I do?
This can happen if the shampoo is used too frequently or without follow-up hydration. Pair with MCT Scalp Moisturizer and/or Nourishing Conditioner to restore moisture.
I'm still seeing flakes after using the shampoo, why?
Flakes can appear while buildup is loosening, the skin/scalp barrier recalibrates, or other products in your routine are feeding Malassezia. Consistency and removing products that are not Malassezia Safe usually improves results over time.
Can I use it on textured or curly hair?
Yes. Wet hair thoroughly, focus on the scalp, rinse well, and follow with MCT Scalp Moisturizer. Textured hair may benefit from less frequent washes and leave-in moisturizer between washes.
- Apply the serum and massage it into your scalp and face thoroughly the night before (or at least two hours before) you plan to wash your hair - even if that is every week or two.

Why
Dermazen?
We started Dermazen because we lived the struggle personally: visible flakes, redness, blemishes, embarrassment, and products that helped for a week…then stopped working.
So we spent years learning about ingredients and formulations, and took a different approach: formulas made without ingredients known to feed Malassezia, so skin can feel more balanced and comfortable.
