Questions
Will these stop an itchy scalp?
We can't say that. These are cosmetic shampoos that their brands describe as soothing or for a dry, itchy-feeling scalp. If the itch lasts or comes with redness or flaking, see a pharmacist or doctor.
Are fragrance-free options better if my scalp feels itchy?
Some people find fragrance bothers them. Use the fragrance-free column to compare.
What is the best sulfate free shampoo for itchy scalp?
There's no single best one. All 5 listed here have no sulfates on the ingredient list, and the brand describes each as suited to this use. Start with the ones checked on the brand page, then compare cleansers and fragrance.
How do I know a shampoo is really sulfate-free?
Read the ingredient list, not the front label. Look for any ingredient ending in 'sulfate' (lauryl, laureth, coco-sulfate and so on). Sulfonates and sulfosuccinates are different ingredients.
Do you test these products?
No. We check ingredient lists and what the brand says the product is for, not how it performs.
