Autumn shampoo habits to prevent scalp oxidation

As the season shifts to autumn, changes in temperature and humidity can lead to increased scalp problems such as dryness, itchiness, and dandruff. Proper scalp care is essential for healthy hair growth. The key to this is squalene, a component found in the sebum secreted by the scalp.

The Function and Importance of Squalene

Squalene is one of the main components of sebum, and plays a role in protecting our scalp and skin. Specifically, it has the following functions:

• Moisturizing effect that protects the skin surface and prevents dryness
• Supports the barrier function to protect against external stimuli

Squalene can truly be called a natural "skin care ingredient."

Oxidation Risk – Formation of SQOOH

However, squalene is one of the most easily oxidized sebum components. When oxidized by ultraviolet rays, stress, or poor lifestyle habits, it turns into a substance called SQOOH (squalene hydroperoxide), which has adverse effects on the scalp and hair.

Scientific studies have confirmed that increased SQOOH increases the risk of :

• Decreased scalp barrier function
• Inflammation and keratinocyte proliferation
• Onset of dandruff and itching
• Deterioration of scalp environment

In other words, squalene is our ally, but at the same time, it is a "double-edged sword" that can cause problems if it oxidizes.

What scalp care is necessary for autumn?

Autumn is the season when damage from summer UV rays accumulates, causing increased oxidative stress on the scalp. During this time, it is important to prevent the oxidation of squalene and develop scalp care habits that improve the scalp environment.

Shampoos with too strong cleansing power can strip away necessary sebum, causing scalp imbalance.
On the other hand, gentle cleansing and providing ingredients that improve the scalp environment are important for growing healthy hair.

summary

Squalene is an important ingredient that supports scalp health, but when oxidized, it turns into SQOOH, which has been scientifically proven to cause a weakening of the scalp's barrier function and inflammation .
