      If any of this sounds familiar

      Psoriasis-prone scalps
      deserve more than a medicated shampoo.

      You don't need a cabinet full of coal tar and salicylic acid. You need a daily shampoo that respects what your scalp goes through — sulfate-free, plant-powered, and built for comfort.

      Quiet relief

      A scalp that flares with most shampoos

      Sulfates, dyes and silicones are common irritants for psoriasis-prone scalps. A nature-inspired, sulfate-free shampoo gives delicate skin a calmer place to land.

      You're not alone

      Tired of the coal-tar smell & sting

      You don't have to choose between effective and gentle. Aloe, Turmeric and Neem help soothe and purify the scalp — without the harsh medicated experience.

      Permission to switch

      Worried everything will dry you out

      Sulfate-free. No coal tar. No salicylic acid. A shampoo designed to cleanse gently while supporting moisture and scalp comfort.

      You deserve this

      A shampoo built for psoriasis-prone scalps

      Nature-inspired. Skin-kind. Because dry, flaky, sensitive scalps deserve daily care that respects what they go through.

      How to use

      Easy daily routine. Easy on dry, flaky scalps.

      1. 1.
        Wet Hair

        Thoroughly wet hair and scalp with lukewarm water. Cooler water is kinder to dry, flake-prone scalps and helps the gentle, sulfate-free base lather without stripping.

      2. 2.
        Massage Into Scalp

        Dispense a small amount and massage gently across the scalp for 30–60 seconds. Let the Aloe, Turmeric, Neem and Gotu Kola sit and do their soothing, comforting work.

      3. 3.
        Rinse Thoroughly

        Rinse well with cool water. Follow with a gentle conditioner if desired. Use 3–5× per week — gentle enough for daily, sensitive-scalp care.

      Ancient Roots Psoriasis Support Shampoo — easy daily routine

      Where ancient botanicals meet modern scalp comfort

      Made for dry,
      flake-prone scalps.

      Aloe, Turmeric, Neem, Gotu Kola and Sweet Indrajao have been used for centuries to soothe, purify and balance delicate skin. Ancient Roots brings that tradition into a modern, sulfate-free shampoo — pairing it with a coal-tar-free, salicylic-acid-free base for everyday scalp comfort.

      The result: visibly calmer-looking scalp, less flaking on your shoulders, and a daily routine that finally doesn't feel like a gamble — even for psoriasis-prone skin.

      Soothes & calms

      Aloe, Turmeric and Gotu Kola traditionally help soothe and support a healthy-looking, comfortable scalp — gentle enough for daily, sensitive-scalp use.

      Gentle, sulfate-free cleanse

      Soft, never stripped

      Sulfate-free and lightweight. Real cleansing without the stripping or coated feeling — even on dry, fragile, psoriasis-prone hair.

      No coal tar · No salicylic acid

      Skin-kind every day

      Sulfate-free, dye-free, silicone-free. A shampoo designed to feel boring — in the best possible way — for reactive, psoriasis-prone scalps.

      First psoriasis shampoo that doesn't sting

      My scalp flares with almost every shampoo I try. This one feels calm from the very first wash — no sting, no medicated smell, no tight feeling.

      Finally — no coal tar smell

      I'd given up on psoriasis shampoos because of the smell. This is light, herbal and my flaky patches calmed down noticeably in about a week.
