CP-1 Ginger Purifying Shampoo 100ml

The 100ml ginger shampoo is the trial bottle of CP-1's scalp-purifying wash, and the ingredient that makes it more than a botanical shampoo is piroctone olamine — a well-established cosmetic anti-dandruff agent that works on the yeast associated with flaking scalps. Around it sit ginger root oil at a declared 600ppm and ginger root extract, a bee-derived trio of honey, propolis and royal jelly extracts, argan, olive and jojoba oils, allantoin and laurylpyridinium chloride. Cleansing runs on disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate and cocamidopropyl betaine — no SLS or SLES. At this size it is the format for travel, sampling and first orders rather than sustained use.

Key Benefits

• Piroctone Olamine is a recognised cosmetic anti-dandruff active, targeting the flaking and itch that botanicals alone do not address
• Zingiber Officinale Root Oil at a declared 600ppm plus Root Extract give the warming, purifying ginger character the line is built on
• Laurylpyridinium Chloride adds a quaternary scalp-conditioning agent to the cleanse
• Honey, Propolis and Royal Jelly Extracts bring bee-derived humectant and conditioning support
• Argan Kernel, Olive Fruit and Jojoba Seed Oils keep a purifying wash from leaving the lengths stripped
• Allantoin helps keep the scalp feeling comfortable after a clarifying cleanse
• Sulfosuccinate and olefin sulfonate cleansing with no SLS or SLES
• 100ml is the size for travel retail and cabin bags, hotel and spa amenity programmes, salon sampling, and low-commitment first orders — and it pairs with the 100ml ginger conditioner as a giftable duo

When to Use

Use it on wash days as the first step, before conditioner and before any leave-on scalp product. It is the pick for visible flaking and dandruff, for scalps that get oily, itchy and congested between washes, and for heads that feel heavy under a cap or scarf in heat and humidity. Anti-dandruff washes work on repetition — three or four washes a week while flaking is active, then dropped back to once or twice weekly for maintenance — so the 100ml is honestly a starter and travel size rather than a full course. Recommend it for trips, for trying the formula before committing to the 500ml, and for keeping a scalp routine going away from home. Follow with the ginger conditioner on the lengths.

How to Use

Wet hair and scalp thoroughly, then apply a small amount directly to the scalp rather than the lengths. Massage with the fingertips in sections for one to two minutes — contact time is what lets piroctone olamine do its job, and rushing the rinse is the usual reason an anti-dandruff shampoo disappoints. Let the foam run down through the hair, then rinse completely. Repeat once if the scalp was heavily oiled or product-loaded, and use three to four times a week while flaking is active, reducing to once or twice a week for upkeep. Follow with conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends only.

Precautions

For external use on hair and scalp only. It contains honey, propolis and royal jelly, so it cannot be positioned as vegan and should be avoided by anyone with a bee-product, propolis or pollen allergy; propolis is a recognised contact sensitiser and this formula is applied directly to scalp skin, which makes that flag more relevant here than in a rinse-through conditioner. Ginger root oil is a warming essential oil — a mild tingle is expected, but keep the shampoo off broken, sunburned or freshly chemically treated scalp. Piroctone olamine is a regulated cosmetic active with maximum use levels in several jurisdictions, so confirm the concentration on your carton against local requirements before registering the product. Declared fragrance allergens include benzyl salicylate, limonene and hexyl cinnamal. This is cosmetic scalp care for the appearance of flaking, not a treatment for seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis or any diagnosed scalp condition — refer persistent or severe flaking to a doctor. Avoid eye contact and rinse thoroughly with water if it occurs. Patch test before first full use and discontinue if itching, redness or irritation develops. No sun-sensitivity precaution applies — the formula contains no AHA, BHA, retinol or vitamin C.
