A clean botanical tonic for flake-prone, congested scalps.
Willow bark · birch · cade juniper · salicylic acid · sulfur — 8 ingredients only
KS115 is a leave-on scalp tonic from Kapyderm's Dermotricology line — just eight ingredients, each purposeful. Willow bark, birch and cade juniper wood oil with salicylic acid, sulfur and glycerin. Clarifies and purifies flake-prone, congested scalps without a warming response.
"KS115 is what I reach for when the scalp has significant buildup or corneal dandruff — cade juniper, willow bark, birch, salicylic acid, sulfur. Eight ingredients. Nothing wasted. The scalp is cleared and comfortable without any warming response."
Significant scalp flaking and buildup need a tonic that goes beyond surface clarification — one with a targeted botanical active complex that clears congestion at the follicle opening without relying on synthetic actives or microcirculation stimulation.
KS115 is a leave-on scalp tonic from Kapyderm's Dermotricology line with one of the cleanest, most focused formulas in the range — just eight ingredients, each with a specific role. Its botanical core is built around three clarifying actives with a long history in scalp care: Salix alba (willow bark) for its natural salicylate content, Betula alba (birch) bark and leaf for its scalp-clarifying properties, and Juniperus oxycedrus (cade) wood oil — a distilled botanical oil with a long documented history of use for flaking, scaling and congested scalps in professional formulations. Salicylic acid and sulfur complete the clarifying and balancing action. Glycerin ensures the scalp stays comfortable throughout. No Methyl Nicotinate — no warming response.
KS115 vs Fungi Activ — when to use each
Both KS115 and Fungi Activ are leave-on clarifying tonics for flake-prone scalps. The difference is in their active profile and sensory experience. KS115 is the intensive botanical clarifying tonic — cade juniper, willow bark, birch, salicylic acid, sulfur — without Methyl Nicotinate or menthol. No warming. No cooling. Clean and targeted. Best suited to significant buildup, corneal dandruff (dandruff with crust), and scalps where no warming response is preferred. Fungi Activ adds Methyl Nicotinate and menthol — the warming-then-cooling dual sensation — and includes rosemary and seaweed. Best suited to active flaking with itching or redness where microcirculation activation is appropriate. Your certified Technician will guide which to use based on your scalp presentation.
