Anti-dandruff
No Preview
Dandruff is a common and persistent inflammatory condition of the scalp characterized by yellowish or flaky white scales. It can also be visible around the nasolabial folds, the area behind our ears, eyebrows, and intertriginous spots of the skin. The most common reason for developing dandruff is attributed to increased levels of a microorganism called Malassezia furfur (fungus) in the scalp region. An anti-dandruff test is a great way to check the ability of our test products to inhibit the growth of this fungal infection.
We test our formulations on Malassezia furfur to check their anti-dandruff effect.
What Is Malassezia furfur & Why We Use Them?
No Preview
Malassezia furfur constitutes 80% of the total fungal population of the skin microbiota and exists as a commensal yeast. They feed on saturated fatty acids found in sebum & multiply at a fast rate, disturbing the skin renewal process. As a result, these scalp skin cells form clusters that appear as white flakes. Therefore, they serve as an excellent tool for investigating the anti-dandruff effect of our products.
