Polytar 4% Coal Tar Scalp Shampoo (150ml)

Polytar Scalp Shampoo — 4% Coal Tar for Stubborn Scalp Conditions When flaking and scaling keep coming back, a stronger tar preparation is often what's needed. Polytar Scalp Shampoo contains 4% coal tar solution — the highest coal tar concentration we stock — formulated for scalp conditions that haven't responded to gentler medicated shampoos. Polytar has been used for scalp conditions since 1960, and remains one of the most recognised tar shampoos available in Australia. Why Choose Polytar Scalp Shampoo 4% coal tar solution — a higher concentration than most tar shampoos, suited to persistent scaling and thickened plaque. Effective treatment for scalp psoriasis, as stated on pack, alongside seborrhoeic dermatitis, dandruff and general scalp itching. Helps reduce dry scales and break down excess thickening of the skin. Relieves itching and inflammation associated with scalp conditions. 150ml — a concentrated formula, so a little goes a long way. How to Use It Well Coal tar shampoos need contact time on the scalp rather than the hair. Work it in, leave it for several minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Results build over weeks rather than washes, and consistency matters more than intensity. If you're new to tar shampoos, a lower-strength product may be a more comfortable starting point. Important: coal tar products should not be used alongside UVB phototherapy unless a doctor has directed it, and coal tar can increase sun sensitivity for up to 24 hours after use. Ask your pharmacist if you're using other scalp treatments, are pregnant, or are treating a child.
