Rida Hair Research Institute Psoriasis Shampoo — Manuka Honey Scalp Treatment, Sulfate‑Free for Itchy, Flaky Scalp (Color‑Safe)

Rida Hair Research Institute’s Psoriasis Shampoo is a Manuka honey–infused scalp cleanser designed to soothe itchy, flaky, and irritated scalps while being safe for color-treated hair.

This concentrated scalp shampoo blends medical-grade Manuka honey with an extra-strength scalp-clearing formula to reduce visible flaking and calm discomfort after regular use. It targets common scalp conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, folliculitis, and ringworm-prone areas by gently exfoliating build-up and supporting a balanced scalp environment. The formula is free from sulfates, parabens, and artificial dyes, making it suitable for a wide range of hair types and for those who color their hair.

How does this shampoo ease itch and flaking on a sensitive scalp?

The shampoo is formulated to soften and lift dry, scaly patches while delivering moisturizing ingredients to reduce tightness and irritation. Instead of harsh stripping, it focuses on gentle removal of excess flakes and residues that worsen itching.

• Manuka honey helps attract and retain moisture to soothe dry areas.
• Exfoliating yet mild cleansing agents remove dead skin and oil buildup.
• Free from sulfates and dyes to limit further irritation.

Can I use this on color-treated or thinning hair?

Yes — the formula avoids harsh sulfates and parabens that can fade color or over-dry fragile hair. It cleanses without aggressive stripping, preserving color tone while addressing scalp concerns that can affect hair health.

• Safe for color-treated hair thanks to sulfate- and dye-free formulation.
• Nourishing ingredients help condition the scalp and hair shaft.
• Suitable for daily or regular use depending on scalp needs.

What should I expect during use and how often should I use it?

Users typically notice reduced surface flaking and less scalp tightness after a few washes, though individual responses vary. Begin with 2–3 washes per week and adjust frequency based on how your scalp reacts and your stylist’s or clinician’s guidance.

• Lather gently into wet hair, leave for a minute or two, then rinse thoroughly.
• Follow with a conditioner on lengths if hair feels dry; avoid heavy products on the scalp.
• Use consistently for several weeks to evaluate scalp improvement.

Which scalp conditions is this best suited for?
