Re: Sulfates cause dandruff?

[Guest guest]

SHerry,

I agree, the net seems clogged with advertising from health co's on

this..I think the way to research this is actually through your

local library. or if they have a link on line ...you prolly need to

search through ERIC or something like that for an actual study...

EBSCOHOST is another library type search engine... usually you can

pick several at once... the librarian can help you select which ones

you need or want...periodicals vs medicaljournals vs books...

if you don't understand what I mean- don't panic- ask for the

reference librarian's help ;o)

I guess I should have put " dandruff " in quotes. I realize that

putting SLS on your head doesn't magically make yeast appear ;-)

How about we call it contact dermatitis or sebhorreic dermatitis?

Anything on that?

BTW, I had read the study you mentioned and it is interesting. I am

not looking at using " traditional " methods of dandruff control, I was

thinking more along the lines of Tea Tree Oil, etc.

I know I can't legally say it controls dandruff or anything else

unless I register with the FDA. Can anyone help me with wording that

won't get me into legal hot water? I thought if I could go the route

of saying something like " Sulfates can cause a flaky scalp, which can

be mistaken for dandruff. Our shampoo contains no sulfates; and it

has 5% Tea Tree Oil. "

dandruff. All the data that I've seen indicates that dandruff is

caused by a normally occurring yeast called Pityrosporum ovale.
