Why does the Dry & Itchy cowash packaging look different?

The packaging looks different because the Dry & Itchy Scalp Care cowash has been reformulated. The active ingredient, Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT), was removed to comply with the European Union's updated regulations. In its place, we’ve introduced Piroctone Olamine, a cutting-edge antifungal ingredient that is highly effective at addressing dandruff and soothing scalp irritation. The new formulation also includes Olive Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and Peppermint Oil to ensure optimal hydration, scalp health, and comfort. While it may feel different from the previous formula, the reformulation is scientifically backed to provide excellent results, such as improved scalp hydration and reduced dryness and flakiness.

How to treat and moisturise dry scalp?

Treating and moisturising a dry scalp starts with using gentle, non-stripping products that cleanse without removing natural oils and deliver long-lasting hydration. The As I Am Dry & Itchy Scalp Care (DISC) Cowash is specifically formulated with Piroctone Olamine and Olive Oil to relieve dryness, reduce flaking, and soothe irritation while helping the scalp retain moisture. The DISC Shampoo and DISC Conditioner work together to clean and nourish the scalp, while the DISC Leave-In Conditioner provides ongoing hydration and scalp comfort throughout the day—creating a complete, scalp-friendly routine.

What is scalp psoriasis and what causes it?

Scalp psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes itchy, flaky, and often painful patches on the scalp. It’s triggered by an overactive immune response and can be influenced by stress, genetics, or environmental factors. While there is no cure, symptoms can be managed with consistent care—the As I Am Dry & Itchy Scalp Care (DISC) products are formulated with Piroctone Olamine and Olive Oil to help soothe irritation, reduce flakes, and support a healthier scalp environment.

Some of you may also be asking: how to cure scalp psoriasis permanently?

There is no permanent cure for scalp psoriasis, but it can be effectively managed with regular treatment and scalp care. A consistent routine using gentle, medicated, and moisturising products—like the full As I Am DISC system—can keep symptoms under control and improve overall scalp condition.
