Do not use after the expiry date on the bottle and the carton. Store below 25 degrees. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Ingredients Active Ingredient: Coal tar solution 4% (w/w) Other Ingredients: Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Phosphate Dihydrate, Citric Acid Monohydrate, Benzyl Alcohol (1% w/w), Macrogol 150 Distearate, Hexylene Glycol, Oleyl Alcohol, Polyquaternium-10, Fragrance oil (contains: Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl ionone (3-Methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-one), Citronellol, Hexyl cinnamal (Hexyl cinnamaldehyde), Benzyl salicylate, Benzyl benzoate, Coumarin, Eugenol, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Isoeugenol, Limonene, Benzyl alcohol, Amyl cinnamal, Amylcinnamyl alcohol, Anisyl alcohol (Anise alcohol), Benzyl cinnamate, Cinnamal, Cinnamyl alcohol, Citral, Farnesol) and Purified Water. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions 1. Wet your hair. 2. Use enough shampoo so that the lather is abundant to cover your scalp, hair and adjacent areas, if also affected. 3. Massage the scalp and adjacent areas well using your fingertips. 4. Rinse your scalp and hair thoroughly. 5. Repeat steps 2 to 4. Polytar Scalp Shampoo should be in contact with your scalp for a total time of three to five minutes over the two applications. If you use more than recommended you may be more likely to get skin irritation or skin sensitivity to sunlight. If you forget to use Polytar Scalp Shampoo just apply the next day instead. Safety Warning Polytar Scalp Shampoo may cause irritancy if in contact with sensitive areas, such as broken or inflamed skin. Stop using if irritation develops. Avoid contact with the eyes. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with clean water. Avoid exposure to strong sunlight or sun beds. If exposure cannot be avoided, wear protective clothing and sunscreen. Can stain skin or clothes and can rarely cause a temporary change in hair colour. Do not smoke or go near naked flames - risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it. Manufacturer Contact Information Thornton & Ross Ltd., Huddersfield, HD7 5QH, UK See more

Review: Very effective, over time. Strong smell that might not always be appealing. - There are times when I get an itchy scalp and the odd spot. It seems that this shampoo, when occasionally used, can help a lot with both. Firstly, so little is needed to get a decent lather. I tend to wash it into my scalp whilst in the shower first, then wash the rest of my body. That allows it to stay on the head and I imagine that will be beneficial, rather than a quick wash on and off. Depending on how severed my head is itching, or having a number of spots, I will vary using this from once a week to about three times when it is bad. It did take the more regular use about a month before all the spots and the itching reduced significantly. Two issues I have noted......You really need to appreciate the smell of the coal tar-based shampoo, it is strong and it can be noticeable after rinsing. The cost, it is expensive, but I counter that somewhat by only using the minimum that I need to manage my condition. I would not use it too often, both for cost reasons and also that it notes the suggested use is for once or twice per week. Please see my photos. If there is one consideration it is this....Be careful if you leave the plastic bottle in place where it could drop onto to a hard floor. The flip top lid is made from a type of hard, but brittle, plastic where it can crack and break off. In regular use it is absolutely fine. But I have, over time, broken a couple of lids until I figured it was related to earlier falls. The bottle itself is made from a very flexible plastic, as expected. Overall, most useful, understanding it is expensive and does have a lingering strong smell. It has been most effective for my needs and lathers very well. Very much recommended. But, as in my case, it did take around four weeks of use to make a sustained and good difference.
Review: Best shampoo for my psoriasis - As I girly that suffers with psoriasis on my scalp and skin this stuff is amazing!!! I tried it back in 2006 and it was very thick and was a tad stinky. So I went onto t.gel and drs also prescribed me Dan’s razor but my scalp just always seems dry and flaky. However I have been ordering this now for the last 3 months and my scalp is pretty much the best it’s been in years!! This seems a much better consistency and doesn’t smell as bad as it used to. I’m literally just using this instead of my prescription shampoo as it’s just brilliant. My holy grail right now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product but smells bad
*by Z***D on 29 August 2025*

This shampoo really works and has helped my scalp a lot, it is much less itchy and I only use it about once every two weeks. The only downside is that it does smell quite bad and even the bottle itself makes our cupboard quite stinky so we keep it in a plastic bag.
