Psoriasis on the Scalp

The best ingredient for psoriasis on the scalp is Cade Oil. This is the ingredient in Head 'n' Shoulders to relieve itching and flaking, however to make is saleable Head 'n' Shoulders add perfume to cover up the smell (pure cade oil smells strongly of tar). However, adding perfume dilutes the oil and makes it less effective.

Cade oil can be found in shampoos such as PolyTar and Cold Tar Soap.

The best shampoo containing cade oil (in my opinion) is Soak 'n' Float, a solid shampoo bar from a store called Lush Cosmetics. It doesn't smell great but you're guaranteed around 80 washes from a bar and it doesn't fail to impress. Lush are great too because all of the products are vegetarian, most of them are vegan and the majority of their products are made with all natural ingredients. They're a very environmentally friendly company and totally against animal testing. They're online at lush.com where you can order products and check any of the information here.
