Safety of T/Sal Shampoo for Scalp and Hair
General Use
T/Sal Shampoo is designed for external use on the scalp and is generally safe when used as directed. It contains 3% salicylic acid, which helps treat conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis by breaking down dead skin cells and reducing scalp buildup.
Application Instructions
Wet Hair: Start with thoroughly wet hair.
Massage: Apply a liberal amount of shampoo to the scalp and massage it in.
Leave On: Allow the lather to sit on the scalp for several minutes before rinsing.
Frequency: It is recommended to use it as part of your regular scalp care routine, but not more than twice a week to avoid irritation.
Precautions
Sensitive Scalp: If you have a sensitive scalp, use caution and consult a healthcare provider if you experience irritation.
Avoid Contact: Do not get the shampoo in your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Consultation: Talk to a healthcare provider before use if you have any underlying health conditions or are pregnant.
Conclusion
T/Sal Shampoo is safe for most people when used correctly. Always follow the instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns about its use
There is some fine print on the bottle that goes on about no sunlight exposure after use or something. I use to have a morning commute to work in the sun... maybe that's what set it off?
