Formulation view Anti-dandruff shampoo combining SLES and cocamidopropyl betaine for cleansing. Pyrithione zinc targets microbes, while sodium salicylate aids exfoliation. Menthol adds cooling sensation. Carbomer adjusts viscosity, and silicones smooth hair. Suitable for oily, flaky scalps. Note: Balance between strong surfactants and silicones is key; preservative system includes phenoxyethanol and sodium benzoate.E · AI inference · to be verified
