Before moving ahead with the benefits of the star ingredient- ICHTHYOL® PALE, let us understand what it is in reality!

ICHTHYOL® PALE, known as Sodium Shale Oil Sulfonate, contains a polar sulfonate salt that is high in organically bound sulfur—best known for its therapeutic properties in the cosmetics world. The pale sulfonated shale oil is found in an aqueous state and is a product of the dry distillation of kerogen-containing rock (Ichthyol.de, 2025).

With the powerful combination of anti-inflammatory, anti-seborrheic and anti-microbial properties—this magical ingredient reduces scalp inflammations, irritation, itchiness, redness and discomfort (Ichthyol.de, 2025). The sulfonated salt works like a miracle on different types of scalp and hair care issues while treating advanced and persistent conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. 

Can you imagine a hair care secret that has been around for over a century, and you barely knew about its existence till today? Well, here it is—Ichthyol® Pale, the protagonist of our story!

Ichthyol® Pale made its debut in the beauty industry back in the early 20^th century—to be precise. The famous dermatologist Prof. Dr. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to mention the therapeutic properties of Ichthyol ^®  for treating skin disorders in 1882 (Ichthyol, 2025). The soothing antiseptic properties of the ingredient were soon manifested by the generation.

With time and use, the scope of this magical ingredient expanded, and the go-to ingredient started showing miracles on a disturbed scalp. Europeans were the ones to embrace the benefits of Ichthyol® Pale for treating different hair concerns. Dermatologists in the mid-20th century to this day started recommending the use of the ingredient in different hair care solutions like anti-dandruff shampoos and solutions to fight dandruff and greasy scalp conditions. The long history of this powerful hero created a legend in the field of scalp and hair care for treating severe conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis.

A healthy scalp begets healthy, shiny and smooth hair.

Imagine this: You wake up with the mindset of achieving all your to-dos, but your scalp prepared something else—dressed in a slicker version, your scalp and hair look like they are going for an oil commercial! It’s time to call in the saviour, right?

Here’s where ICHTHYOL® PALE comes to your rescue!

The Sebum-regulating action combined with the anti-seborrheic properties of ICHTHYOL® PALE work like magic on your scalp. It keeps your sebaceous glands in check and balances that oily substance (sebum) from overflooding your scalp and fighting dandruff from the roots (Ichthyol.de, 2025). Excess sebum creates an environment where bacteria and fungi thrive, causing dandruff to gain hold (Piraccini et al., 2018). Thus, the ingredient helps you in rebalancing sebum production on your scalp—finally ridding your scalp of the dandruff-causing Malassezia.

Also, the anti-microbial property of the ingredient limits the growth of bacteria and fungi on your scalp (Ichthyol.de, 2025). Bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms disrupt your scalp environment—A game of pH regulation. Their action of the microorganisms also influences an increase in sebum production—leading to dandruff. Also, the bacterial and fungal infections on your scalp result in irritation, redness and itchiness—resulting in hair loss. The use of the ingredient helps in reducing the inflammation and soothing the skin irritations. So, ICHTHYOL® PALE is your one-stop destination if you are looking to cleanse your scalp and win the fight against these microorganisms for a healthy scalp environment and resilient hair.

Additionally, rich in anti-inflammatory powers, the soothing ICHTHYOL® PALE calms irritation, removes flakiness, and reduces greasiness—giving your scalp and hair the fresh, happy vibes (Ichthyol.de, 2025). Also, it is particularly beneficial for people suffering from psoriasis or eczema by simply soothing their irritation and creating a natural scalp ecosystem—limiting hair loss. Hence, using a combination shampoo with the ingredient helps reclaim your scalp and hair’s victory against stubborn greasiness and dandruff.

Frustrated with dandruff, itchiness, inflammation, along with signs of excess oily secretions on your scalp?

Adding ICHTHYOL® PALE to your daily hair care routine is a wise consideration for boosting that New Chapter on Strong, Shiny and Resilient Hair, along with a Healthy Scalp Environment! Probably you must consider using an anti-dandruff shampoo and serum, with the active ingredients like ICHTHYOL® PALE, Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Oil and Eucalyptus Oil.

The combination acts as a powerful force against driving out that excess oil and limiting the growth of Malassezia—the dandruff-causing fungal infection on your scalp (Ichthyol.de, 2025). It calms the scalp skin and soothes irritation and discomfort, relieving you of your stubborn itchy condition. So, choose your products after careful consideration of the ingredients.

Do it for the sake of the love that your hair deserves!
