Symrise unfurls improved anti-dandruff active

Symrise has unveiled Crinipan PO Plus, an optimized liquid active ingredient for effective dandruff control.

By combining the renowned anti-dandruff agent piroctone olamine with modern ingredients such as decylene glycol and 1,2-hexanediol, Crinipan PO Plus takes a novel, multi-ingredient approach to dandruff control.

Symrise’s innovative liquid solution means there is no heating required to incorporate it into formulations.

This sets it apart from piroctone olamine, which comes in a powder format.

Suitable for a wide range of hair and scalp care products, Crinipan PO Plus targets Malassezia and thus helping to reduce dandruff on the scalp and consequently also redness.

This results from its efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus, also contributing to a reduction of sebum.

“We feel delighted to introduce this ready-to-use, effective solution for hair and scalp care formulators,” said Laura Meunier, global product manager at Symrise.

“Crinipan PO Plus makes it easy for manufacturers to deliver confidence to consumers through a cleaner scalp,” she added.
