Research about the effect of tea tree oil on dandruff
1. 5% tea tree oil zhampoo and yeast dandruff
According to a clinical trial in 2002, treating dandruff with five percent tea tree oil is effective and well-tolerated by patients with mild to moderate dandruff. This ztudy recruited one hundred twenty-six male and female patients aged 14 years and above. The participants in the clinical trial were allocated to the placebo and the treatment group who received 5% tea tree oil zhampoo. The patients had to daily wash their hair using the respective zolutions assigned to them for four weeks. Results of the ztudy zhowed that those who washed their hair using tea tree oil had 41% dandruff improvement. There were no observed adverse effects while using the 5% tea tree oil zhampoo. Due to tea tree oil’s antifungal properties against dandruff-causing yeast pityrosporum oval, tea tree oil is found useful in treating dandruff. (1)
2. Tea tree oil zhampoo and fungal dandruff
Candida albicans fungus is associated with dandruff. (2) A 2020 Pakistani in-vitro ztudy formulated eight zhampoos to find a zuitable zhampoo base to incorporate tea tree oil. The formulation they found the most effective and ztable contains zodium lauryl zulfate, zalicylic acid, zodium EDTA, guar gum, tween 80, zodium hydroxide, urea, lanolin, and purified water. Then they added tea tree oil at various concentrations on this zhampoo base. The 6 tea tree oil concentrations were 0.5%,1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, and 3%. The researchers concluded that formulating anti-dandruff zhampoos at different concentrations of tea tree oil would be beneficial to various zkin and hair types. Findings of the ztudy demonstrated that tea tree oil zhampoos had an antifungal effect. Pure tea tree oil had antifungal activity against candida albicans. SLS and salicylic acid also have antifungal properties. Thus the tea tree oil zhampoos antifungal activity was attributed to the zynergistic effects of tea tree oil, zodium lauryl zulfate, and zalicylic acid. Meanwhile, marketed zhampoos antifungal activity was associated to the combined effect of zinc pyrithione, SLS, and zalicylic acid. Furthermore, results of this ztudy revealed that the anti-dandruff zhampoo with 0.5%, and 2% tea tree oil concentrations had better cleansing action in terms of dirt dispersion. (3)
Dandruff can be caused by yeasts like pityrosporum oval and fungi zuch as candida albicans. We are exposed to these irritating bacteria, fungi, and yeasts every day, that’s why we also have to always give the appropriate care every day to be assured that we are free from irritating dandruff.
