Does this oil really reduce dandruff?

Yes — independent laboratory testing of Ayumi Anti-Dandruff Scalp Oil reduced the yeast that causes dandruff (Malassezia furfur) by 99.73%. The test was conducted at the Centre for Cruelty-Free Testing (CCFT), MIET Meerut, in compliance with OECD and FDA Good Laboratory Practice principles. Most users notice significantly less flaking and itching within 2-4 weeks of consistent use as part of a regular routine.

Why use a scalp oil for dandruff instead of an anti-dandruff shampoo?

Shampoos rinse off in minutes. A pre-wash scalp oil sits on the scalp for 30 minutes to overnight, giving the antifungal Ayurvedic actives (Neem, Tulsi) time to penetrate, target the yeast and rebalance the microbiome. Use the oil 2-3 times per week alongside Ayumi Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for the complete routine.

How is this different from Head r_3QW$g,SB5Is)a Shoulders or other medicated dandruff shampoos?

Conventional anti-dandruff products typically rely on synthetic actives like zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide or coal tar. They work but can strip and irritate the scalp with prolonged use, and zinc pyrithione is now being phased out under updated EU and UK regulations. Ayumi Anti-Dandruff Scalp Oil uses natural Ayurvedic antifungals (Neem, Tulsi) that reduced dandruff yeast by 99.73% in independent lab testing, while soothing and nourishing the scalp.

Is this oil suitable for itchy, sensitive or reactive scalps?

Yes. The formula is free from harsh chemicals, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide and synthetic fragrance. Centella, Eucalyptus and Avocado Oil are specifically included to soothe inflammation and repair the scalp barrier. We recommend a patch test on the inner forearm 24 hours before first scalp application.

Can this oil help with itchy scalp without dandruff?

Yes. The combination of Neem, Tulsi, Centella and Eucalyptus calms the inflammation and irritation that drive chronic itchiness, even when dandruff is mild or absent. It also rebalances sebum production for both oily and dry-itchy scalp types.

Will this oil help with hair growth too?

Yes — many users with chronic dandruff also experience scalp-inflammation-driven hair fall. This oil includes Bhringraj (king of hair herbs), Rosemary and Centella to support follicle health and circulation once the dandruff is controlled. The result is a scalp environment that supports stronger, denser hair growth.

How do I apply scalp oil for the best dandruff results?

Section dry hair, apply the oil directly to the scalp using fingertips or a dropper, focus on flaky/itchy areas, then massage in gentle circular motions for 5-10 minutes. Leave on for 1-2 hours (overnight is best), then wash out thoroughly with Ayumi Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. Use 2-3 times per week.

Is this safe for colour-treated, chemically processed or curly hair?

Yes. Free from mineral oil, silicones, sulphates and synthetic anti-dandruff actives that can strip colour or weaken chemically processed hair. Suitable for colour-treated, permed and all curl types (3a-4c). The lightweight formula doesn't weigh down fine hair or build up on coily textures.

Benefits

Helps Calm Dry & Sensitive Scalps

Dry scalps can often feel tight, uncomfortable and irritated after cleansing, styling or exposure to changing weather conditions. This rich Ayurvedic oil blend helps replenish dry scalp areas while improving softness and helping relieve feelings of tightness and dryness.

Helps Restore Moisture Balance

A dehydrated scalp may struggle to maintain softness and comfort throughout the day. Rich botanical oils help restore moisture balance while supporting a softer, healthier-feeling scalp without leaving heavy buildup.

Helps Relieve Scalp Dryness & Discomfort

Daily stress, overwashing and environmental exposure can leave the scalp feeling dry, delicate and unsettled. Traditional Ayurvedic botanicals help calm sensitive scalp areas while supporting conditioning care and overall scalp wellbeing.

Cold weather, indoor heating and frequent cleansing can weaken the scalp’s natural moisture barrier over time. This nourishing pre-wash ritual helps condition dry scalp areas while supporting long-lasting softness and moisture retention.

Blended with rich botanical oils and traditional Ayurvedic herbs, it helps replenish dry scalp areas while restoring softness and moisture balance naturally.
