Description
Used to treat severe itching and flakiness of the scalp. This treatment cream uses Salicylic acid as well as refined cade oil (Juniper tar). This ingredient is extracted from (Spanish) juniper trees and is well known for its excellent antimicrobial and antimitotic effects. It is known as a Keratolytic (A keratolytic can soften and lift excess flakes).
Salicylic Acid occurs naturally in the bark of the willow tree, Salix alba. It is used in some skin creams at very low levels as an exfoliant, and at higher levels as a keratolytic treatment for several skin disorders. Salicylic acid is gentle yet effective in the treatment of scaling, helping to soften and lift plaques with no bleeding or soreness.
The juniper tar or cade oil, we use in the Strong Juniper cream is extracted by steam distillation of Spanish juniper trees, then further distilled to produce a material which is known for its outstanding antimicrobial properties, but also excellent antimitotic effects, so helping to slow down the accelerated epidermal turnover common to so many scalp concerns, particularly itching and flaking and build up, unlike other tars it can be used frequently without causing any dryness to the hair. It also has a general soothing and calming effect on irritated scalps, so it is useful for conditions including heavy scale.
The product comes with a pair of disposable gloves, 2x dispensing spoons and full instructions on how to use.
