Piroctone Olamine is an antifungal and antimicrobial agent widely used in personal care products, particularly in dandruff-control shampoos and scalp treatments. It effectively targets the Malassezia fungus, a common cause of dandruff, while also soothing scalp irritation. Additionally, it is used in deodorants, skincare, and antifungal creams to prevent microbial growth. Due to its gentle nature, it is a preferred alternative to traditional anti-dandruff agents like Zinc Pyrithione.
