Formulations for Seborrheic Dermatitis Prevention
5 patents in this list
Updated:
Seborrheic dermatitis affects up to 5% of the population, triggering inflammatory responses that lead to scaling, redness, and persistent itching. Clinical studies show that affected areas exhibit elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, altered microbiome composition, and compromised skin barrier function, with symptoms often cycling between remission and flare-ups.
The challenge lies in developing formulations that can simultaneously address multiple pathogenic factors—inflammation, microbial imbalance, and barrier dysfunction—while maintaining long-term scalp health.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including novel applications of fermentation filtrates, terpenoid-based CBR activators, botanical extract blends, and microbiome-regulating compounds. These and other approaches focus on creating gentle yet effective treatments that can prevent symptom recurrence while supporting the scalp's natural protective mechanisms.
1. Scalp Care Composition with Salmonella Sinensis Seed Extract for Inflammatory Cytokine Suppression
IKEDA BUSSAN CO LTD, 2024

The composition can be added to hair products like shampoo at 2-10% by mass.
3. Scalp Microecology Regulating Composition with Lactobacillus/Soy Milk Fermentation Filtrate, Chicory Extract, and Agave Leaf Extract
TIANJIN NIQU BIOTECHNOLOGY CO LTD, 2020
Composition for regulating scalp microecology to improve dandruff, oil control, and itchiness. The composition contains lactobacillus/soy milk fermentation filtrate, chicory extract, and agave leaf extract. It also has surfactants, thickeners, pH regulators, conditioning agents, chelating agents, and anti-dandruff agents.
4. Hair and Scalp Care Compositions with Terpenoid-Based CBR Activators
UNILEVER NV, 2010
Hair and scalp care compositions containing selected terpenoid compounds that can be used to treat and prevent inflammatory skin conditions like dandruff by rapidly reducing scalp itch. The terpenoids act as chemical signals called CBR activators that improve skin barrier function and reduce inflammation. Examples of effective terpenoids include 16-hydroxysumatrol, isophasellin, and silandrin. The compositions can be shampoos, conditioners, oils, or lotions applied to the hair and scalp. The terpenoids are added along with other hair care ingredients to provide dandruff relief.
5. Scalp Treatment Liquid with Acidic pH and Riboflavin for Indicating Application
WEI ZHANG, 1996
A liquid to fix itching and prevent dandruff by balancing skin pH. The liquid contains acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and riboflavin. It is applied to the scalp to relieve itching caused by seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. The acidic pH helps maintain a healthy scalp environment and prevents fungal growth. The riboflavin provides a yellow color to indicate proper application. The liquid can be used as a scalp treatment instead of harsh chemicals.
