Symrise announces positive new research into their SymReboot L19 ingredient as an effective solution for sensitive and dry scalp conditions.
When the scalp barrier weakens, dry dandruff can occur as levels of sebum and lipids get impaired and water loss increases. Symptoms include a dehydrated scalp with itching and redness, and small flakes that fall onto shoulders. The resulting dandruff scalp microbiome characteristically shows a higher amount of Staphylococcus and a reduced amount of Cutibacterium compared to normal scalp.
SymReboot L19 improves dry scalp condition and promotes a healthy scalp microbiome. After washing every second day for 14 days, users of a shampoo containing SymReboot L19 reported significant and visible decreases in flakes and scalp itching, along with significant improvements in scalp condition and its visual effects.
After 28 days, SymReboot L19 shampoo was found to support a favourable shift in the balance of the scalp microbiome by maintaining the level of Staphylococcus and increasing the level of Cutibacterium, while the opposite was found for the placebo shampoo.
