The routine of... Jeanne

My dandruff is my biggest complex. I have dandruff that comes back from time to time and is very persistent. I have tried several products and shampoos before, but I feel like they have damaged my hair. With Klorane's Galangal range, I can finally deal with the root problem without compromising the health of my hair. I use the powdered mask twice a week as a supplement to deal with the most persistent dandruff and, on a daily basis, the Rebalancing Shampoo with Galangal to maintain a healthy scalp. The results are here!

A unique and innovative formula

Active plant ingredients selected by our botanists to remove visible flakes without damaging the scalp.

1. WHITE AND GREEN CLAYS

Derived from natural rocks, they are both very rich in minerals and trace elements. It removes the sebum on the surface of the scalp and helps to eliminate impurities. White clay, commonly known as kaolin, is very rich in silica and helps soften and soothe dry, irritated scalps.

2. GALANGAL

Alpinia galanga is a plant native to Southeast Asia that is used in traditional Chinese and Ayruvedic medicine for its purifying and cleansing properties. We have selected it for its effectiveness and quick action, which is 4 times faster than Zinc Pyrithione.

3. LACTIC ACID

Lactic Acid, the mildest form of alpha hydroxy acid, adds exfoliating and moisturising properties to the formula. It restores suppleness and elasticity to the scalp and hair.

A WORD FROM OUR EXPERT

What two types of dandruff are there?

Dry scalp and dry dandruff.

Dry dandruff takes the form of small white flakes that do not stick to the scalp. They can fall on your shoulders like snow when you style your hair. You can manage it with an anti-dandruff shampoo. Whether dry or oily, the solution to dandruff is the same: gently moisturise and soothe, remove dandruff with a gentle exfoliating product and provide lasting cleansing of the scalp and its microbiome.

With an oily scalp comes oily dandruff

Oily dandruff is caused by an overproduction of sebum. They are usually much larger than dry dandruff and can clump together with the sebum acting as glue. Whether dry or oily, the solution to dandruff is the same: gently moisturise and soothe, remove dandruff with a gentle exfoliating product and provide lasting cleansing of the scalp and its microbiome.

Do you have any questions?

Our experts and botanists answer your questions (even the craziest ones).

Our Galangal comes from Indonesia and is grown on the island of Java with respect for the local communities and environment thanks to a programme set up by the Klorane Botanical Foundation.

Yes! Galangal works four times faster, and helps prevent reappearances of dandruff for up to 1 month. In addition, Galangal is safe to use, unlike potentially harmful chemicals such as Zinc Pyrithione.

This is an eco-designed choice from Klorane: the fact that it is in powder format allows water to be saved when manufacturing and half the CO2 emissions compared to a traditional product. In addition, this type of formula means that no preservatives are needed and it' s wonderful to see this powder transform into a beautiful creamy foam upon contact with just a few drops of water.

Absolutely! Our product will cleanse, purify and remove flakes, but can also be used alongside a conditioner from another range for dry scalp, such as our Nourishing Leave in Mango Cream or 3-in-1 Repairing Capuacu Mask.

Responsible sourcing

The Galangal chosen for our formulas is grown on the island of Java in Indonesia by local communities and harvested at full maturity with respect for the plant and the environment, in a sustainable and responsible way.

A partnership with six local communities to harvest and replant galangal plants.
Biodiversity awareness programmes for children.

Respect for the environment

To fight against deforestation in Indonesia, the Klorane Botanical Foundation is committed to the NGO Coeur de Forêt with a programme aimed at replanting 10,000 trees in agroforestry on the island of Flores, distributed according to useful and locally threatened species. It supports local producers in the responsible culture of galanga and participates in raising children's awareness of reforestation, sustainable agricultural practices and biodiversity.

More respectful packaging

We have prioritised the eco-design of the Galangal range of products. Our innovative Powder-Mask requires much less water to produce than a classic mask or shampoo. In addition, all the packaging in the range is recyclable (excluding the cap), and our shampoo bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic.
