Product Information

■How to treat scalp itching
"The itching doesn't go away even after shampooing," "My scalp looks red," "When I touch my head, I can feel eczema"... Scalp itching like this is caused by "inflammation."
The scalp is an area where itching accompanied by inflammation easily occurs due to many factors: 1. it has many pores, and sweat and sebum, which are sources of irritation, are actively secreted;
2. it is exposed to irritation from shampoo and hair coloring; and 3. ultraviolet rays, dry air, and so on.
A scalp that has fallen into an inflamed state tends to have itching that stubbornly keeps coming back.
To treat stubborn scalp itching that "doesn't go away even after shampooing," it is important not only to stop the itching but also to thoroughly calm the "inflammation" that is the source of the itching, and to improve the scalp to a normal condition in which itching is less likely to occur.

■Features of Muhi HD
6 active ingredients improve an itchy, inflamed scalp to a normal condition Quickly stops itching
1. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (anti-itch ingredient)
2. l-Menthol (cooling ingredient)

PVA is a steroid ingredient classified in a high-efficacy rank among OTC drugs. It exerts an excellent anti-inflammatory action at the affected area and then changes into a low-activity substance. For this reason, it has the property of being less likely to cause the side effects characteristic of steroids. This property is called an "antedrug." PVA is an ingredient with an excellent balance of efficacy and safety.
