Shampoo microbiome

Hello, I'm looking for a liquid shampoo for my son's hair. He finds shampoo itchy and is developing flakes. I'd like a recommendation for a shampoo specifically designed to feed or coordinate with the microbiome of his scalp if such a thing exits.

Try baby shampoo. It is very mild. How old is your son. Could it be cradle cap?

Are we building up to some advertising for a product nobody is really crying out for?

Salcura sounds like it could the box for you, I use this for my three children and is very gentle and natural salcuraskincare.com/collections/omega-rich/products/omega-rich-duo-pack

Interesting thank you. DS who is 12 btw is highly sensitive to essential oils. I would be reluctant to try this on his scalp 🤔

Perhaps this is the way to go. At least trying it is easy even if it doesn't work. I do wonder if he could go no poo like I do. I'm worried though, what with hormones etc, that his lovely thick hair would turn into a grease bomb
