Ducray Kelual DS Anti-Dandruff Treatment Shampoo

Ducray Kelual DS is a specialized dermatological treatment shampoo designed to combat severe dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The brand was established in the 1930s by Albert Ducray, a barber's son who recognized that alkaline soaps used in salons at the time were damaging hair. He pioneered the creation of the first medicalized shampoos, leading to the birth of the 'Lotion de Soing' line.

Today, Ducray is a flagship brand within the Pierre Fabre Group, a major French pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetic company. The manufacturing of Kelual DS and other Ducray products primarily takes place in France, specifically at Pierre Fabre's specialized production facilities in Soual. This ensures a high level of medical-grade quality control and clinical efficacy.

The ultimate owner, Pierre Fabre Group, is unique because it is majority-owned by the Pierre Fabre Foundation, a government-recognized public-interest foundation. This structure ensures that a significant portion of the company's profits are reinvested into healthcare initiatives and dermatological research worldwide, maintaining its focus on pharmaceutical integrity rather than purely commercial gain.
