Dermaharmony 2% Zinc Pyrithione Shampoo Bar — Peppermint 4 oz, sulfate-free dandruff relief & gentle conditioning

DermaHarmony’s 2% Pyrithione Zinc Peppermint Shampoo Bar is a solid, soap-free shampoo formulated to help control dandruff and the flaking/itching associated with seborrheic scalp conditions while delivering a cooling peppermint scent.

This concentrated 4-ounce bar swaps plastic bottles for a long-lasting, low-waste format and uses plant-derived surfactants rather than traditional sulfates. It combines 2% zinc pyrithione with mild cleansing agents like sodium cocoyl isethionate and coco glucoside, plus argan oil and oat flour for gentler handling of the scalp. The bar is pH-balanced at 5.1, free from SLS and common preservatives, and made in the USA by DermaHarmony.

How does this shampoo bar clean without sulfates?

Instead of strong sulfates, the formula relies on plant-based surfactants and biodegradable foaming agents that create a rich lather while reducing dryness. These ingredients lift oil, skin flakes, and debris without stripping natural moisture.

• Sodium cocoyl isethionate and coco glucoside for gentle foaming
• Biodegradable sulfolaurate derivatives for stable lather in hard water
• pH 5.1 to match skin’s natural acidity and protect the scalp barrier

What active ingredient helps control flakes and irritation?

The bar contains 2% zinc pyrithione, a well-known topical ingredient used to address flaking and scalp irritation. It’s included in a soap-free base so it can be applied directly to the scalp with minimal drying effects.

• 2% zinc pyrithione as the active ingredient
• Leave on the scalp at least 30 seconds for contact time
• Designed for routine daily or frequent use depending on need

How should I use and store the shampoo bar for best results?

Wet your hair and rub the bar directly across the scalp and hair to build a lather, then massage for full coverage. Rinse thoroughly and allow the bar to dry between uses on a ventilated soap tray to extend its life.

• Rub onto wet hair to generate lather, then massage into the scalp
• Keep the bar dry between washes on a draining rack or tray
• A single 4 oz bar typically lasts for months with daily use

What other ingredients support scalp comfort and scent?

Peppermint oil provides a refreshing aroma and a cool sensation, while moisturizing and soothing ingredients help maintain scalp comfort. The bar includes argan oil and oat flour to support hydration without leaving heavy residues.

• Peppermint (Mentha piperita) oil for a crisp scent and cooling effect
• Argania spinosa (argan) kernel oil and oat flour for gentle conditioning
• No parabens, PEGs, or animal-derived ingredients (except select products noted)

Who is this for: This shampoo bar suits people looking to reduce plastic waste while addressing flaking, itching, or redness associated with dandruff or seborrheic scalp conditions. It’s a practical choice for those who prefer soap-free, sulfate-free cleansing, plant-derived ingredients, and a peppermint scent. Avoid contact with eyes; if swallowed or in severe reaction, seek medical help. Manufactured in the USA by DermaHarmony (D3 Development, Inc.).
