Polytar Scalp Shampoo

Polytar is a well-established brand specializing in medicated hair care, specifically formulated to treat scalp conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and dandruff. Featuring a coal tar solution as its active ingredient, the product has a long history in the dermatological market for its effectiveness in reducing itching and scaling.

Originally developed by Stiefel Laboratories, a company with deep roots in dermatological research founded in Germany and later based in the USA, the brand was part of a major acquisition in 2009. It is now owned by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a global healthcare leader headquartered in the United Kingdom. Polytar products continue to be widely manufactured and distributed within the UK and European markets, maintaining a reputation as a trusted clinical solution for scalp health.
