the flakes

Scalp seborrheic dermatitis
does not look like ordinary dandruff

Standard dandruff shampoos target dryness. Scalp seborrheic dermatitis is driven by Malassezia yeast overproduction — a biological imbalance that no moisturising shampoo can correct. If your scalp symptoms keep returning, this is most likely why.

❄️ Persistent, oily flaking

Unlike dry dandruff, seborrheic flakes are yellowish, greasy, and cling to the hair shaft — a direct result of Malassezia metabolic activity at the scalp surface.

🔥 Chronic itch and inflammation

The scalp becomes persistently irritated and sensitive to touch. Standard anti-itch formulas offer temporary relief without addressing the underlying yeast imbalance.

🔄 Endless flare-up cycles

Treatments appear to help briefly, then symptoms return worse than before. This cycle happens because most products — even medicated ones — contain lipids the yeast consumes.

Science behind scalp seborrheic dermatitis — Epic Derma
The ingredients
hidden in your scalp oil

Most scalp serums, oils, and treatments are marketed as nourishing and soothing — and they are, for a healthy scalp. For a scalp with Malassezia overgrowth, they are the problem. Every time you apply a product containing these compounds, you deliver the exact nutrients the yeast needs to multiply and inflame.

01
Carrier oils — argan, jojoba, coconutUniversally recommended for scalp health, yet saturated with the long-chain fatty acids Malassezia consumes as its primary food source
02
Conditioning estersStandard smoothing agents found in almost every scalp serum — they metabolise directly into lipid compounds that feed yeast proliferation
03
Emollients and buttersShea, mango, and similar butters are rich in oleic and stearic acids — documented Malassezia fuel sources present in even "natural" formulas
04
Polysorbate emulsifiersFound in virtually every rinse-off and leave-in scalp product — these standard emulsifiers break down into lipids the yeast readily metabolises
A scalp seborrheic dermatitis routine
built on strict precision

An effective scalp routine for seborrheic dermatitis demands zero tolerance for fungal food. Every step must perform a defined function — and the Face and Scalp Elixir sits at the foundation of each one.

01 Malassezia-safe cleansing

Wash with a sulfate-free, lipid-free shampoo that cleanses thoroughly without depositing oils onto the scalp or disrupting its pH balance.

02 Elixir scalp treatment

Apply the Face and Scalp Elixir directly to the scalp with the dropper. It absorbs quickly, calms inflammation, and begins regulating Malassezia without leaving residue.

03 Zero-oil styling

If styling products are needed, choose only formulas verified as Malassezia-safe. Avoid hair oils, serums with esters, and any product with standard conditioning agents.

04 Daily maintenance

Consistency is the cure. Apply the elixir daily between washes to maintain yeast balance, prevent flare-ups, and keep the scalp microbiome in a stable, healthy state.

Formulated by a pharmacist who understood the root cause

Scalp seborrheic dermatitis is not a hygiene issue or a genetic sentence. It is a microbiome imbalance — one that conventional products perpetuate every single day. The Face and Scalp Elixir was built on a single, non-negotiable premise: to correct the imbalance without introducing a single ingredient that Malassezia can use as fuel.

Every formula at EpicDerma Skincare begins with the same question: does this feed the fungus? If the answer is yes, it does not enter the bottle.

Everything you need to know
before starting your scalp routine
How is this different from a medicated dandruff shampoo?+
Medicated shampoos typically use antifungal agents like zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole to suppress Malassezia temporarily — but they also contain conditioning agents and emulsifiers that feed the yeast between washes. The Face and Scalp Elixir contains no ingredients Malassezia can metabolise, making it effective as a leave-in daily treatment rather than a temporary suppressant.
Can I use this if I have colour-treated or chemically processed hair?+
Yes. The elixir is applied directly to the scalp and absorbed before it contacts the hair shaft in any significant quantity. It contains no harsh chemicals, bleaching agents, or compounds known to affect hair colour or structural integrity.
How quickly will I see results on my scalp?+
Most customers report a reduction in itch and scalp sensitivity within the first week of consistent use. Visible flaking typically decreases noticeably within two to four weeks as the Malassezia population normalises. Full stabilisation of the scalp microbiome generally occurs within six to eight weeks of daily application.
Do I apply it before or after washing my hair?+
Apply the elixir to a clean, towel-dried scalp after washing. Section the hair, apply directly to the scalp using the dropper, then gently massage in. Allow it to absorb fully before styling. On non-wash days, apply directly to the scalp as a daily maintenance treatment.
Is the Face and Scalp Elixir safe for everyday use?+
Yes — it is specifically designed for daily use. Unlike medicated shampoos that carry overuse warnings, the elixir's lipid-free, steroid-free formula does not carry risks associated with prolonged use. Daily application is actively encouraged to maintain consistent Malassezia balance and prevent flare-up cycles.
