The best shampoo for a sensitive scalp depends on your individual needs and what your skin tolerates. A fragrance-free formula can be a useful starting point, particularly if fragrance is a known trigger. Olsson Scandinavia shampoos are independently approved by Allergy UK and Asthma Allergy Nordic and are designed to provide effective cleansing without added fragrance or colourants. If you’re unsure which formula suits you, our patch test offers a way to try the products before committing to full sizes.

Olsson Scandinavia shampoos are fragrance-free, colourant-free and independently approved by Allergy UK and Asthma Allergy Nordic. These approvals provide reassurance for people looking for allergy-friendly haircare, but no cosmetic product can guarantee that every individual will tolerate it. If you have known allergies, check the full ingredient list and consider trying our patch test before purchasing full-size products.

Fragrance-free shampoo is formulated without added fragrance. Unscented products may still contain ingredients used to mask their natural smell, so the two terms are not necessarily interchangeable. If you have a fragrance sensitivity, check the full ingredient list rather than relying on the front-of-pack description alone.

Yes, fragrance-free shampoo may be a suitable choice if your scalp is prone to itching, particularly where fragrance contributes to discomfort. However, itching can have many causes, including dryness, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis or seborrhoeic dermatitis, so changing shampoo may not resolve the underlying issue. Choose a formula your scalp tolerates, avoid excessive scrubbing and seek professional advice if itching is persistent, severe or accompanied by inflammation.
