If you use the soap regularly you should be able to interfere with the regular life cycle of the adult mites much like the fungus and acne it is more commonly used for. The mites are more hardy than bacteria and fungus thus you should try to be diligent and use the soap at least once per day, preferably in the morning for your particular affliction (as the mites come out in the dark to mate and make eggs). Other people have had success using sulphur on the scalp but there could be irritation so be sure to rinse well. Sulphur is a naturally occuring germicide chemical and you can get it in this bar of soap.

This product has an Anti-Pore-Dex Complex (pasqueflower, dandelion, chrysanthemum, pyeonbaek tree extract), which I believe is used to combat human Demodex mites that live in our pores (and lay eggs there and essentially destroy our skin from the inside -shiver-). Demodex mites have been known to be the cause of skin itchiness, dermatitis, and early signs of rosacea. The Astringentlex (catechu, cinnamon, jiyugaoka, lotus, geranium complex extract) is probably for minimizing the pores. Like with most toners, this product does contain some (denatured) alcohol, but the water and glycerin ensure that your skin does not dry out. The toner is also free of parabens, talc, mineral oils, artificial coloring, and benzophenone.

not that I have noticed and I am fairly sensitive to 'smell' that is out of place.I used to wash hands and face this morning, it's light and refreshing. If you give it a try, will you please let me know what YOU think of this soap? :)

Hello Sir/Madame,I purchased this soap for a relative b/c they are staying in a temp facility with an infestation of bed bugs. To date, I have been told that the relative has developed a fungus/lesion on their skin and they have used the soap, which they stated is very nice (smell) and effective in reducing the effects of the lesion on the skin.They do plan to order more of the soap. I believe I will order for my family to.Hope this helps.BestMC

I never had itchy scalp before using the product, so I don't know if it would help. Check out aveda.com for more info on the product.

Works well Elizabeth. I'm a guy and use the 5.3 oz. tea tree bar as the first phase of shampooing. Rinse, then use the Tea Tree Special Shampoo for the second phase. Leave both phases on for a little while before rinsing. I also use a rubber scalp scrubber with both phases to wash away loose skin cells and help the soap to penetrate. The bar soap phase gets rid of a lot of skin oils and facilitates the effectiveness of the liquid shampoo. I think that's what happens.

I never had the issue of stinky scalp, but this product is strong and has a strong smell to it. I assume it should remove any issues with the scalp especially itching.

Since Eczema is basically dry skin, I really don't see why not. The problem is, it's probably designed for relatively small areas (I used it on a few smaller areas of my face). You could use a lot of it on your whole head and it might get pretty expensive. I'm sure you've probably already tried the usual anti-dandruff shampoos without much help. The MetaDerm seems to have natural ingredients on the tube, so I don't see how using it would have a bad effect on your scalp. I used it on a more sensitive skin area (face) with no irritation. Good Luck!

I don't find this very effective with scalp but their eczema lotion works for me. It makes the dry and red patches on my face bearable when I had flare ups from cortisol rebound and so far I have been off from cortisol for over 2 months and have my eczema under control. I recommend patience and get off from cortisol, it is not a long term solution.

It does help to lower the level of scalp itch, but it seems to be more of a conditioner. Other brands of shampoo just do not help fo me.

It isn't tea tree oil but rather a soap that contains it, which has worked better for me than oil has for ailments such as dry scalp, breakouts on face, etc.

It might help but something I know will work is dudley's scalp conditioner. it is good and smells wonderful. I love it.

This soap will probably not dissolve well enough or rinse out properly in your machine. I just returned mine to Amazon due to skin irritation.

I won't say yes since i read some other customers said it irritated their skins. Personally I am allergic to Chlorine and other strong cleansers and i don't have any problem when i am using this soap. so i guess you can try ~

I believe so. I've seen other posts where people have used it with shampoo, soaps, lotions and as a bug repellent.

Absolutely, this soap is amazing for people with an oily to combination skin type who experiences the occasional breakouts. It will treat the acne and help to control oil without stripping your skin of essential moisture. This will not irritate or leave the skin red. However, this could be a little bit drying to people who already have very dry skin! Hope this helped!
