Polytar Scalp Shampoo is a thick, coal-tar based shampoo that soothes irritated skin on the scalp, reducing itchiness, scaling, and inflammation.These symptoms are often experienced by people with scalp psoriasis or other related skin conditions such as eczema. In these cases, a specially formulated shampoo is required, as standard shampoos often contain irritants that make the condition worse.Coal tar is proven to provide relief for psoriasis sufferers. It is a thick oil that works on patches of inflamed red skin covered in scales. It moisturises and nourishes the skin to reduce scales and dandruff, and soothes it to make it feel less itchy.This shampoo can be used by adults and children aged 12 or over.

In rare cases, Polytar Scalp Shampoo is associated with skin reactions due to allergies (rashes, swelling, difficulty breathing). Other possible rare side effects include eye irritation, hair loss, itchy and redskin, change of hair colour or texture, and burning sensations on the skin.If you are taking other medications, speak to your doctor before using this shampoo, as certain antibiotics and tranquilizers increase sensitivity to sunlight.
