Benefits of Mas-Tar Shampoo

Ø  Treats chronic scalp conditions: Helps manage symptoms of scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, and severe dandruff.

Ø  Reduces flaking and scaling: The active ingredients work to slow down the excessive production of skin cells on the scalp, which helps reduce the buildup of flaky scales.

Ø  Soothes irritation and itching: Offers relief from the itching, redness, and inflammation that often accompany scalp disorders.

Ø  Cleanses and conditions: Formulated to effectively cleanse the hair and scalp while leaving hair soft and manageable.

Ø  Prevents recurrence: Regular use can help prevent the symptoms from returning. 

Ingredients of Mas-Tar Shampoo:

The key active ingredients in Mas-Tar Shampoo are: 

Ø  Coal Tar (1%): A keratoplastic agent that helps slow the rapid growth of skin cells. It also has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that help calm and clean the scalp.

Ø  Salicylic Acid (3%): A keratolytic agent that promotes the shedding of dead skin cells and helps break down keratin clumps. This softens and loosens scales for easier removal.

Ø  Rinse thoroughly with warm water and repeat the process.

Ø  Frequency: For best results, use once or twice weekly, or as directed by a doctor.
