Q: Has this product changed? It used to say dandruff cowash and have an active ingredient of p. Zinc but now that ingredient is gone and just says cowash??? I’m so sad bc it doesn’t work for itching and dandruff as well as my other container.

submitted by Julie - 4 months ago
  • A: Yes, the Dry & Itchy Scalp Care collection has been reformulated. The active ingredient, Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT), was removed to comply with the European Union's updated regulations. In its place, we’ve introduced Piroctone Olamine, a cutting-edge antifungal ingredient that is highly effective at addressing dandruff and soothing scalp irritation. The new formulation also includes Olive Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and Peppermint Oil to ensure optimal hydration, scalp health, and comfort. While it may feel different from the previous formula, the reformulation is scientifically backed to provide excellent results, such as improved scalp hydration and reduced dryness and flakiness.

Q: Is this in a glass (recyclable) or plastic (yeah, not really) jar.

submitted by Mo - 2 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate your concern about the packaging of our product. Our As I Am products are currently packaged in PET plastic jars. PET plastic is widely used in the industry due to its durability and recyclability. While we understand that glass is often perceived as a more environmentally friendly option, PET plastic has its own set of advantages in terms of product protection, safety, and recyclability. We have taken steps to ensure that our packaging is as sustainable as possible and encourage our customers to recycle the PET plastic jars appropriately.

    I was a little nervous at first purchasing this because of the reviews talking about the strong scent. Full transparency, they were 1000% right BUT it has changed my life. My head used to be so itchy, irritated, and full of dandruff. Like even doing a slick back you could see some dandruff peaking through. After one wash my head felt AMAZING!! I have used this for 2 weeks now (once per week) and I can honestly say my dandruff is all but gone. If you’re willing to power through the smell I say this product is so worth purchasing!! I will have to just find a curly girl conditioner to hopefully help combat the smell🤞🏼

    My scalp used to bleed and scab from excessive dryness/ severe eczema. I didn't know what to do anymore I tried all the conditioners, oils, leave ins from other brands. You name it - I tried it. Then I tried this! Saved my life - I have no dryness or flakiness. I've been using this for the past 2 years or so and my scalp was healed right away but it just hit me that I should write a review because my scalp condition was serious and if yours is too this is a game changer. Try it, it's worth it!

    I use to love this mask, I’ve been using it for years. But sadly the formula is not the same. It use to be thick and very opaque. But know the formula seems very watered down, not the same.

    Arnesanne - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
    This is the only product, including topical prescription medicines, that has helped improve my itchy flaky scalp caused by Seborrheic dermatitis. I use it instead of shampoo and it leaves my hair and scalp feeling clean even though it has a creamy consistency. I have fine hair that is not curly but not truly straight either. I tried the shampoo, which has a thinner consistency. I like the cowash better.

    I have very straight, fine, oily hair & live where it gets very cold and dry during the winter. My scalp will get very dry & itchy, which bumps up the oil production :( I decided to give this cowash a try and I love it! I use it every other wash day, alternating with either a gentle or detox shampoo. After the first use the itchiness went a way, and with consistent use it, completely kept the flakes away. I've used it for two winter seasons now, and plan to use it for many more!

    I have 1A hair and was hesitant to use this product because it is not meant for my hair type but I was desperate for relief from my itchy, flakey, and dry scalp. At first I used the product every other day for a week and it completely got rid of my problems! My hair ended up very greasy (likely because of my hair type), so I just reduced using the product to once a week and it keeps my scalp healthy without the greasiness! I definitely recommend!

    This is a godsend if you struggle with dandruff, psoriasis, or any inflammatory scalp conditions. Works best paired with the oil. I can go two plus weeks with no flakes, whereas without it, I barely last 2 days.

    I love this cowash! I was trying to find a product that would cleanse, help my dandruff, and still leave my hair moisturized. I've struggled with dandruff all my life and in 1-2 months of using this, my dandruff disappeared. No product I've tried has ever been able to do that. I wash my hair once a week and before I used to not make it to the next wash without extreme itchiness and flakes falling everywhere. I didn't realize how good this cowash was until I switched to a different product and my dandruff and itchiness have come back in full force. I am definitely going to switch back to this product and never stray again! For context, I have type 2b-2c hair.
