Built for people living with chronic skin and scalp conditions.
Starting with everyday care for seborrheic dermatitis and severe dandruff.
Your routine deserves more than actives.
You know what sebderm is. You have a routine. Most of it is medicated - because nothing else was built for you.
My whole routine is medicated
Not by choice - by necessity. When nothing non-medicated was designed for a sebderm scalp, you reach for what works. We're building the alternative.
I want fewer chemicals on my scalp
Medicated shampoos have their place. But three times a week is more than you should need if something gentler existed. It does now.
I just want something safe for the other days
Not a treatment. Not a cure. A non-medicated option designed for your scalp - so the medicated product is a choice, not a default.
This is for you if
You already know what sebderm is.
Your shampoo has ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide in it.
You plan your wash days around how your scalp is behaving.
You've googled "sebderm diet", "malassezia safe products", or "fungal acne safe" at least once.
You wish you could wash your hair without reaching for a medicated product every single time.
We built Ritualist for people who are already informed. We're not here to explain sebderm to you - we're here to give you something built for it.

Simple Ritual
How to use it.
Apply
A few drops on a clean, damp scalp. Massage gently into affected areas. Leave on or rinse after 20 minutes.
Observe
Notice how your scalp responds over the following days. Pay attention to flaking, oiliness, and itch - your observations are the data. No two sebderm scalps are identical.
Adjust
Too much? Too little? Change frequency to match your scalp. No fixed rules. You know your skin.
Our Philosophy
The maintenance layer.
A routine built entirely on actives is a routine built on necessity, not choice.
Sebderm scalps were handed treatments. Nobody built them something gentle.
Daily care shouldn't require a prescription.
Medicated when necessary. Non-medicated everywhere else.
From the Community
People already figured out what gentle daily care does for sebderm.
My skin, hair and scalp haven't felt this smooth and flake free since I was a little kid.

Looksmax ForumOn using MCT oil for seborrheic dermatitis
Topical MCT oil cannot be metabolized by malassezia. It doesn't kill it - it just stops feeding it.

Incorporating a nightly scalp massage with MCT oil not only soothed my itchy scalp but also reduced flakiness significantly.

MCT oil improved my decade-long dandruff in just two weeks. I was skeptical - the results spoke for themselves.
