A fresher, lighter scalp — without the rebound
Purifying cleanser for oily, easily-weighed-down hair
The Oily Hair Wash is a phyto-dermotricological cleanser with sulfur and burdock extract — for oily scalps and hair that turns greasy quickly. Clears excess oil and buildup without over-stripping and triggering more oil production.
"Standard clarifying shampoos strip the scalp so hard that oil comes back faster. This one clears the excess without over-stripping — the scalp stays balanced and fresher for longer."
Oily scalps are often made worse by the products meant to fix them. Standard clarifying shampoos strip the scalp so aggressively that sebaceous glands compensate by producing more oil — making the problem cyclical.
The Oily Hair Wash is a phyto-dermotricological cleansing regulator from Kapyderm's Dermotricology line, formulated to clear excess oil and buildup without triggering that rebound. Its formula uses sulfur — long valued in scalp care for its sebum-regulating properties — alongside Arctium lappa (burdock root extract), a botanical with a documented history of use for oily, congested scalps, and PEG-9 Undecylenate for scalp-balancing action. Lactic acid keeps the formula pH-compatible with the acid mantle throughout.
The strip-and-rebound problem — and how to break it
Harsh clarifying shampoos strip the scalp's sebum so completely that the sebaceous glands respond by producing more — the strip-and-rebound cycle. The Oily Hair Wash is formulated to clear the excess without that aggressive stripping: sulfur and burdock work on the scalp surface to reduce buildup and congestion, while the balanced cleansing base respects the acid mantle. The result is a scalp that stays fresher for longer — without the compensatory oil surge that follows over-cleansing.
Inside the formula
Sulfur
A well-documented ingredient in scalp and dermatology care — long used for oily, sebum-prone scalps for its ability to help clear excess oil accumulation without aggressive stripping.
Burdock Root Extract
Arctium lappa root extract — a botanical with a long history of use for oily and congested scalps. Contributes to the formula's clearing and balancing action at the follicle opening.
PEG-9 Undecylenate
Supports the formula's scalp-balancing action — working alongside sulfur and burdock to help keep the scalp feeling balanced and fresh without over-stripping.
Lactic Acid
Keeps the formula at a skin-friendly pH throughout — so the acid mantle is respected and the scalp's natural protective layer is left intact after every wash.

What is the Oily Hair Wash?
It is a phyto-dermotricological cleansing regulator from Kapyderm's Dermotricology line, formulated for oily scalps and hair that turns greasy quickly. Its formula uses sulfur, burdock root extract and PEG-9 Undecylenate to clear excess oil and buildup without over-stripping — helping the scalp stay balanced and fresher for longer.
How do I use it?
Apply over damp hair and emulsify. Rinse thoroughly, then repeat and leave on for 3 to 10 minutes before a final rinse. Use daily as the cleansing step in your routine.
Who is it for?
Anyone with an oily scalp or hair that turns greasy quickly — including those in the Kapyderm oily scalp protocol. It is designed to clear excess sebum without triggering compensatory oil production, making it appropriate for daily use on oily scalp types.
Why does it not trigger more oiliness?
Standard clarifying shampoos strip the scalp's sebum so aggressively that sebaceous glands compensate by producing more oil. The Oily Hair Wash uses a balanced purifying base — sulfur and burdock to clear the excess, lactic acid to maintain pH — without the aggressive stripping that causes that rebound.
What sizes does it come in?
250 ml, 500 ml (16.9 fl oz), and 1000 ml. The 500 ml is the standard home size; the 1000 ml suits professional center use.
Does it contain parabens?
No — the Oily Hair Wash is paraben-free and formulated so it does not alter the skin's acid mantle. The full INCI is listed on the product and above.
