Is My Shampoo Turning Me Into A Zombie? (Why Contact Dermatitis SUCKS!)

Is My Shampoo Turning Me Into A Zombie? (Why Contact Dermatitis SUCKS!)

Kaden Sego

If your scalp burns, itches, or flakes after washing, you might not be imagining it. Those “flare-ups” could be contact dermatitis, an allergic or irritant reaction to harsh shampoo ingredients. And in zombie terms, that means your scalp barrier is under attack.

Once your scalp is compromised, you are more likely to experience redness, itching, flaking, or peeling skin that looks straight out of the apocalypse.


The Zombie Triggers We Avoid

Unlike many shampoos, we leave out the usual scalp-wrecking suspects known to cause contact dermatitis and worsen zombie symptoms.

Coal Tar: Historically used for dandruff, but it is linked to skin irritation and even potential carcinogenic concerns.

Formaldehyde Releasers: Slow-release preservatives that can trigger allergic reactions and dermatitis.

Parabens: Preservatives that can disrupt hormones and irritate sensitive scalps.

Sulfates: Harsh detergents that strip natural oils, leaving the scalp dry, itchy, and prone to flaking.

Irritant-Prone Dyes: Certain synthetic dyes can trigger contact dermatitis or allergic scalp reactions.

Irritant-Prone Fragrance: Synthetic fragrance blends can be loaded with allergens that disrupt the skin barrier.


Our Scalp-Soothing Heroes

Instead of irritants, we pack in ingredients that help rebuild your scalp’s defenses.

Urea: Hydrates, softens, and gently exfoliates for a smoother scalp surface.

Glycerin: Draws water into the scalp to keep it moisturized and resilient.

Scalp Prebiotics & Probiotics (Lactobacillus Ferment & Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide): Help maintain a healthy scalp microbiome, which can reduce irritation triggers.

 

Bottom Line:

Harsh shampoos can trigger contact dermatitis and zombie scalp flare-ups. Scare Care’s hypoallergenic shampoos and conditioner are designed to keep your scalp comfortable, healthy, and apocalypse-ready.
