Biotin Plus Shampoo 100 ml

Biotin Plus Shampoo is an herbal or vitamin-enriched formulation designed to address common hair and scalp issues like hair fall, hair loss, and dandruff. It is often branded under different specific names (e.g., Biotin DS, Skin Cafe Biotin Shampoo) depending on the manufacturer and may include additional natural extracts like onion or rosemary to boost its effectiveness. The primary active ingredient, biotin (Vitamin B7 or H), is essential for the synthesis of keratin, the protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails.

Benefits of Biotin Plus Shampoo:

Ø  Strengthens hair: Biotin helps improve the keratin structure of the hair, making strands stronger and less prone to breakage.

Ø  Reduces hair fall and thinning: Regular use can help minimize hair loss by fortifying hair follicles and stimulating healthy growth.

Ø  Controls dandruff and soothes scalp: Formulas containing ingredients like zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole target dandruff-causing microbes and reduce itching and flaking.

Ø  Adds moisture and shine: Ingredients like aloe vera and various oils (e.g., coconut oil, argan oil) provide hydration, improve hair texture, and restore natural shine.

Ø  Protects hair: Some formulations are enriched with antioxidants and extracts (like moringa seed extract) that protect hair from environmental damage, dust, and pollution.

Ingredients of Biotin Plus Shampoo:

Specific ingredients may vary by manufacturer, but a typical Biotin Plus Shampoo (100 ml) may contain:

Ø  Active Ingredients: Biotin (Vitamin B7/H), often at 1% concentration. Other common actives in specific "plus" or anti-dandruff versions include Ketoconazole (1.99% or 2%) and Zinc Pyrithione (2%).

Ø  Other Key Ingredients:

• Aloe Vera: Soothes the scalp and provides moisture.
• Onion Extract or Spanish Rosemary: Known to stimulate hair growth and improve circulation to the scalp.
• Provitamin B5 (Panthenol): Promotes hydration and improves hair elasticity.
• Coconut Oil/Argan Oil: Act as emollients, repairing damage and controlling frizz.

Many premium "Biotin Plus" formulas are also sulfate-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free.

Usage instruction of Biotin Plus Shampoo:

Biotin Plus Shampoo is for external use only.

Ø  Wet hair thoroughly with water.

Ø  Apply an adequate amount of shampoo to the palm and gently massage it into the scalp and hair to create a rich lather.

Ø  Leave the lather on the scalp for several minutes to allow the ingredients to work.

Ø  Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all shampoo is removed.

Ø  For best results, follow with a complementary conditioner and use regularly, typically two to three times a week, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Side Effects of Biotin Plus Shampoo:

Biotin shampoo is generally considered safe for most people when used as directed.

Ø  Common, mild effects: Occasionally, some users may experience scalp dryness, itching, or irritation, which could be due to other ingredients like sulfates or fragrances in some formulas.

Ø  Allergic reactions: Though rare, an allergic reaction may present as hives, severe itching, or shortness of breath. Discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional if any severe symptoms occur.

Ø  Interference with lab tests: It is important to inform a doctor that you are using products containing high levels of biotin, as it can interfere with certain laboratory tests, such as thyroid function or troponin levels, leading to inaccurate results.
