Findings
Zinc pyrithione is an antifungal that works by targeting Malassezia yeast on your scalp—the main culprit behind dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It's effective at concentrations as low as 10-15 ppm and has been used safely in shampoos for decades because it balances real results with low toxicity risk.
