The best natural shampoo for psoriasis: guaranteed softness and comfort!

Do you suffer from psoriasis and want to adopt a hair care routine, especially a natural shampoo for psoriasis, that can help prevent and relieve your symptoms? Here are all our recommendations.

How to recognize psoriasis?

If you’re reading this page, you probably already know about psoriasis and its manifestations. Still, let’s recap the essentials: psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that causes significant flaking. Thick patches of skin detach and form what looks like white “scales.”

Although psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body, it most commonly affects the elbows, knees, and scalp.

This non-contagious disease is usually mild but can be very disabling in daily life: in addition to being considered unaesthetic, psoriasis can sometimes cause severe itching, bleeding from lesions, and significant discomfort. The severity of the disease varies from person to person, but in the most severe cases, more than 10% of the body can be affected and covered with plaques.

Beyond physical symptoms, many people with psoriasis report that the disease has a negative impact on their social life and, more generally, on their psychological well-being.

Hairborist and psoriasis

Hairborist has a strong connection with psoriasis, and for good reason: the brand’s founder, Frédéric Bodart, developed his own line of hair care products as a result of the disease.

Suffering from this condition for several years, at a time when organic and natural cosmetics were still niche products and when no specific treatment for psoriasis existed, he decided to create one himself. Everything started from this realization, with a simple goal: to develop natural products that were as gentle and respectful as possible of the scalp and its fragile balance, in order to alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis.

The initial focus was on shampoo, which is THE cosmetic to choose with the greatest care when suffering from an inflammatory skin condition: a cleansing base that is too harsh will inevitably tend, over time, to dry out the skin of the scalp. This then leads to a vicious circle: as the skin’s hydrolipidic balance is disrupted, it will overreact in an attempt to protect itself.

All these factors pushed our founder to take a serious look at organic shampoo for psoriasis and to develop an exclusive formula that would allow him, as well as all people suffering from psoriasis—to regain comfort in their daily lives. After several months of research, Sensity was born: the very first organic shampoo for psoriasis.

The shampoo that relieves psoriasis

Since its creation nearly twenty years ago, Sensity has been considered THE shampoo best suited for sensitive scalps suffering from various irritations (itching, eczema, allergies, and of course, psoriasis). Formulated without fragrance or essential oils, this shampoo is based on an extremely gentle cleansing base.

Its composition is truly unique, as it relies on the soap nut, also known as “plant saponin,” a fruit that grows in regions around the Himalayas. This small nut is widely used in the production of organic laundry detergents because of its exceptional foaming power, while still being remarkably gentle.

Sensity gently cleanses the delicate scalps of people with psoriasis, removing all impurities while maintaining the hydration needed for balance, all with the utmost softness.

In addition to organic shampoo for psoriasis, oil-based care…

Choosing a natural shampoo adapted to your skin condition is an excellent start. However, it’s important to know that despite what many cosmetic brands claim, a shampoo has only one purpose: to clean the hair.

It is not possible to truly treat the hair through shampoo for a very simple reason: shampoo is applied to wet hair. When the hair is saturated with water, a “film” forms around the hair fiber, preventing it from absorbing any active ingredients. The shampoo therefore remains on the surface and does not actually treat the hair. While it is important to choose the right shampoo, very gentle in the case of psoriasis, it is the choice of a deep, adapted treatment that will make the difference.

This is why Hairborist launched a unique and innovative concept: the pre-shampoo treatment, to be applied on dry hair. Renovator (suitable for normal to thick hair) and Repair (suitable for fine or oily hair) are made with noble vegetable oils such as olive, safflower, jojoba, argan, macadamia, and sesame oil.

A few drops of essential oils are added according to individual needs, creating a tailor-made hair treatment. Since essential oils are very powerful and have unique properties, their use makes it possible to address diverse and complex concerns such as oily hair, fine hair, lice, hair loss, dry dandruff… and psoriasis.

Dermosweet: the ideal organic treatment to relieve psoriasis

Dermosweet is a synergy of essential oils with repairing and regulating properties for sensitized skin. It is suitable for people suffering from eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Its effectiveness relies on several plants with purifying and soothing properties:

Atlas cedar has antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiseptic characteristics. It promotes blood circulation and soothes itching.
Lavandin has calming and relaxing abilities. Its anti-inflammatory action is highly valued in cosmetics.
Patchouli is mainly used to treat the scalp. It is renowned for aiding healing but also has many other properties: astringent and decongestant, patchouli essential oil is particularly effective for burns and psoriasis.

Combined, these plants unleash their full potential and deliver striking results from the very first application. A true relief for people who have suffered from psoriasis for many years.

The association of the Sensity natural shampoo for psoriasis with the Renovator/Repair blend and Dermosweet will provide you with unprecedented skin comfort. Unlike conventional products, your treatment with vegetable and essential oils penetrates deep into the hair fiber and heals it from within, for an optimal and lasting effect.
