What it is — Climbazole (INCI: Climbazole) is an antifungal ingredient used mainly in scalp- and dandruff-focused products.

What it does — It appears in anti-dandruff and scalp-care formulas. This entry describes it neutrally; it is an active-type ingredient rather than a cosmetic conditioner, and use should follow the finished product's directions.

Typical use — It appears in anti-dandruff shampoos, scalp tonics and some rinse-off products.

Who it suits / good to know — Relevant to flake- and scalp-focused routines. For persistent scalp concerns, a clinician or pharmacist can advise on suitable options.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk and flags it as an active better suited to expert review than routine cosmetic grading. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin or scalp is reactive.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk - functional/OTC-type active rather than a standard cosmetic ingredient; graded mid on an EWG-style basis. Informational only, not medical advice.
