Symrise aiming to brush off dandruff with Crinipan PO active

Symrise has unveiled Crinipan PO (INCI: Piroctone olamine), its latest anti-dandruff active for use in shampoos or other hair care products.

The German maker says the premium-grade ingredient offers proven efficacy and an option to replace zinc pyrithione when needed to combat dandruff and ensure a flake-free scalp.

By introducing Crinipan PO, it adds, Symrise is adding a widely recognized and trusted anti-dandruff ingredient – piroctone olamine – to its portfolio.

It is known to reduce dandruff on the scalp, helping provide users with the confidence and comfort of flake-free head and hair.

The use of Crinipan PO may be adapted for manufacturers to formulate exactly the product they want.

Based on its adaptability in various hair care products, manufacturers can seamlessly incorporate it into shampoos and leave-on hair care applications.

“At Symrise, we have committed ourselves to act as the go-to experts and the first address for dandruff control solutions for our customers,” said Laura Meunier, global product manager for skin protection at Symrise.

“With our complete portfolio of dandruff control ingredients, including China-compliant, green, and established ingredients, we want to support our customers as a trusted partner that deliver solutions that bring confidence to consumers worldwide,” she added.
