Ritual Botanico Dandruff Control Shampoo 400ml — Mint & Chili, Sulfate- and Salt-Free for Color-Treated Hair

Ritual Botanico Dandruff Control Shampoo combines mint and chili extracts in a sulfate- and salt-free formula to cleanse the scalp, reduce visible flaking, and leave hair feeling refreshed.

This anti-dandruff shampoo blends plant-derived actives like mint, chili extract and xylitol to rebalance the scalp while avoiding harsh surfactants, silicones and zinc pyrithione. The 400ml bottle is designed for everyday use on all hair types, including relaxed, bleached or chemically treated hair. It cleans without over-drying, supports a fresher scalp environment for up to 72 hours, and aims to improve overall hair manageability and shine.

How does this shampoo help control dandruff without drying my scalp?

The formula uses naturally antimicrobial and sebum-regulating botanicals rather than aggressive detergents. These ingredients help limit the growth of microorganisms associated with flaking while preserving moisture and the scalp’s natural balance.

• Mint provides a cooling sensation and helps soothe irritated skin.
• Chili extract (non-irritating fraction) supports scalp circulation without burning.
• Xylitol assists moisture retention and supports a healthier microbiota.
• Free from sulfates and salts that can strip natural oils.

Is it safe to use on color-treated or chemically relaxed hair?

Yes — the gentle, sulfate-free formulation is suitable for hair that’s been colored, bleached, straightened or otherwise chemically treated. It cleans without altering hair color or adding heavy silicones, so hair remains soft and manageable.

• No sulfates, no salt: reduces risk of color fade and dryness.
• No dimethicones or heavy silicones that can weigh hair down.
• pH-balanced surfactants that support cuticle health.

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair, massage into the scalp to lift flakes and buildup, then rinse thoroughly. For persistent dandruff, use consistently according to your routine — some users see improved scalp comfort and reduced flaking within a few washes.

• Massage gently to avoid irritating the scalp.
• Rinse well to remove residues that can attract oil and flakes.
• Follow with your preferred conditioner if needed on mid-lengths and ends.

What makes this formula different from other anti-dandruff shampoos?

Instead of relying on zinc pyrithione or harsh sulfates, this product leverages a blend of botanical actives with scientific support for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The focus is on scalp microbiota balance, soothing, and maintaining moisture rather than aggressive peeling.

• Botanical actives: mint, chili extract and xylitol for multi-action care.
• Free from sulfates, silicones and zinc pyrithione for gentler daily use.
• Designed to support scalp health and visible flake reduction up to 72 hours.

Who is this for: Ritual Botanico Dandruff Control Shampoo is intended for anyone with dandruff-prone scalps seeking a plant-forward, sulfate-free cleansing option. It suits people with oily or flaky scalps, those who use chemical treatments or color, and anyone who prefers milder, botanically based scalp care without silicones or zinc pyrithione.
