Well, let’s add another shampoo I don’t care to see ever again to the looong list I already have, shall we? Seboradin shampoos were on sale last month in Dr. Max pharmacies, so when I saw this one for oily hair I figured it’s exactly what I need, right? Well, wrong

Seboradin was created by a company called Inter Fragrances, established in 1978 in Poznań. Its founder, Ignacy Zenon Soszyński, opened at that time one of the first and largest Polish community companies, officially registered on December 20, 1978 under the name “Zakład Produktów Aromatycznych i Kosmetycznych: Inter Fragrances – La Foret”. It was the first company of its kind in Poznań and only the 12th operating at that time in Poland.

I really don’t want to say anything bad about Polish cosmetics, but I didn’t have the best of luck with them and this should have been an indicator that the shampoo was not for me.

Packaging:

I like the packaging because it’s one of those plastic bottles that has a cap that opens when you push it with one finger, which is very handy when you’re washing your hair. Other than that, the design has nothing special. The bottle contains 200 ml.

Texture:

It’s a very liquidy shampoo, but it does lather up well. The scent is not that great though and it’s probably because of the ingredients, so that’s already a minus because I can’t say it’s a wonderful experience to use it.

Ingredients:

Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide DEA, Glycol Cetearate, Sodium Chloride,  Cocamidopropyl Betaine,  Alcohol Denat., Raphanus Sativus Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract, Tussilago Farfara (Coltsfoot) Leaf Extract, Equisetum Arvense Leaf Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut)Seed Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Salvia Officinalis(Sage) Leaf Extract, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract, Lauryl Glucoside, Disodium EDTA, Limonene, Propylene Glycol, Ethoxydiglycol, Glucose, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Caramel, Quaternium-80, Panthenol, Pinus Sylvestris Oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, Coriander Sativum Herb/Seed Oil, Thymol, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid.

The key ingredients listed on the brand’s website are all natural, such as the black radish extract, but there are also plant extracts that I know are good for the hair like rosemary, sage, nettle and tea tree oil.

Price and accessibility:

I’ve seen Seboradin products mostly in pharmacies, both online and in stores. I got my shampoo on sale, but it’s usually sold for about 8 euros. It’s not that expensive for a shampoo, but for me it’s not worth it.

My overall opinion:

My main complaint about this shampoo is that it’s supposed to be for oily hair and my hair is already oily the second day after I was it. It’s supposed to be good for psoriasis and dermatitis and other scalp issues, but I don’t know if these claims are true or not because my husband didn’t want to test it. So, if my hair gets oily fast, I don’t see the point in keeping using it. I don’t know if this is a shampoo issue or a me issue, but I will try something else.
