Coconut Oil Makes Your Dandruff Worse

The fungus causing your dandruff feeds on oils. Its main fuel source is the sebum made by your pores, but adding extra oils (like coconut) is like pouring gas on the fire.

Even though coconut oil is typically antifungal, it’s also full of lauric acid which strengthens the Malassezia fungus.

Why MCT Oil Is Safe

MCT (medium chain triglyceride) oil is made by distilling coconuts to remove the longer chain fatty acids - which feed the Malassezia fungus - while harnessing caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) acid, which the fungus can’t use as fuel.

Tip: Some MCT oils still contain lauric acid (C12) which will feed the fungus. Ours is always Malassezia Safe.

Starve the Fungus to Free Your Scalp

Most skin and hair care products are made with oils that feed the fungus irritating your scalp. If you want to free yourself from flakes and itching, you must stop the fungus from taking over.

Extra Care for Your Scalp & Hair

The tea tree and rosemary infused into every drop have been shown to:

  1. +

    Optimize follicle and scalp health

  2. +

    Help protect and prevent fungal spread

  3. +

    Relieve the effects of dry skin and flare-ups

  4. +

    Help slow down premature graying with continued use

  5. +

    Improve overall scalp & hair health

Note: Essential oils don’t contain any fatty acids, so they won’t feed the Malassezia fungus.

Powered by Mother Nature

Medium Chain Triglyceride (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride)

Keeping it Zen

We practice ingredient minimalism. Our goal is to keep the list of ingredients humble while formulating products more effective than anything else. That’s why you won’t find parabens, sulfates, fragrances, or hard-to-pronounce chemicals. Those are the opposite of peaceful.

How to Use It

  • 1

    Before getting your good nights rest, apply a generous amount of moisturizer to your scalp.

  • 2

    Relax while massaging in the nourishing formula.

  • 3

    In the morning, wash it out with a Malassezia-safe shampoo and enjoy a peaceful scalp all day long.

  • Note: If you shower at night, follow the same steps as above but allow the moisturizer to absorb into your scalp for at least two hours before washing.

    For textured hair, this scalp moisturizer also works great as a leave-in since the ingredients will naturally absorb into your skin. Especially for protective styles! Simply apply it 2-3x a week (or daily if you’d like) to keep your scalp happy and healthy.

    No more oils, No more itch

    This scalp moisturizer has been the perfect addition to my hair routine. I already loved the Derma Zen shampoo and serum combo, which cleared my flakes and itching, but I did not like having a dry-looking scalp. I grew up on Pink Lotion and have always taken pride in having moisturized, cute hairstyles. Adding oils and lotions back into my now healthy scalp was not worth it. I started using the MCT Scalp Moisturizer between washes. A little goes a long way! These products have been a game-changer. I pair the MCT Scalp Moisturizer with a rose-water spritz for my strands. It's a pretty penny for Derma Zen products, but it has saved me from turmoil and allowed me to return to the expressive styles I love. I have no buyer's remorse!

    A Miracle worker and I mean it

    September of 2024, I decided that I couldn't take it anymore and maybe if I didn't have that much hair on my head it wouldn't itch me so much. The itch was unbearable, the scratching was even worst, I would be digging like a crazy person, and I have a medical job that I can't scratch for long hours. So, I shaved my head, not just cut my hair but shaved my entire hair off looking for some sort of relief. The only help I got was that now I can wash my head everyday which gave me much needed peace, but it wasn't the solution. Wanting my hair back I decided to regrow in January 2025. But there it was the itching, the scratching, the flaking, the itching, the scratching, the flaking. I was once again going silently mad while watching everyone live a scratch free, whatever hairstyle life they wanted. July 2025 I've had enough and 3 days after yet another shaving, I stumbled on ad for Derma Zen. I read, cause I will read anything that promises relief and what they said made sense. I knew I reactive to coconut oil products but over the years forgotten about it. I said "what the heck, I've already spent hundreds of dollars what's forty something more" I washed, I oiled, I waited... I even forgot about the itching cause there was none. It almost blew my mind that my fingers were not constantly in my head scrapping away of what little sanity I had. my flakes were not flaking my scalp was clean and most of all CALM. People who don't itch and scratch all the time does not know…

    Great moisturizer for scalp

    Best products I have tried ever to help my seborrheic dermatitis. Cleared up flaking in the area that was dry. And made my 4c hair feel nourished and not brittle. Used on my toddler’s scalp. No more itching and inflammation pairs with the serum.

    Best Moisturizer for Seborrheic Dermatitis

    I have severe Seborrheic Dermatitis and I've struggled for many years to find a product that actually works for me. I also have locs so it's very difficult to maintain. The Scalp Moisturizer and the Serum worked beautifully. I no longer have flakes or many flare ups. It almost feels as if I've been cured. I use it about 4-5 times per week.
