“…A total of 62 healthy women aged between 19 and 60 years old were enrolled in this study, with screening questionnaires to exclude active skin diseases at scalp, such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, etc Subjects were divided into two groups according to the results of sensitive scalp self‐assessment, 3S, and 10Q questionnaires as described before . Thirty‐two subjects were Non‐sensitive Scalp (NS) group with 0 score in all questionnaires, while 30 subjects were Sensitive Scalp (SS) group with score higher than 1 in all questionnaires.…”

“…Sensitive scalp, defined as abnormal and unpleasant sensory reactions of the scalp including itching, prickling, tightness, pain, and burning to environmental stimulus, is one of the most sensitive body region reported by consumers, with a high incidence of 44.2% in France and 35.77% in China . Visible signs of inflammation are usually absent in sensitive scalp due to numerous thick hairs.…”

“…Visible signs of inflammation are usually absent in sensitive scalp due to numerous thick hairs. To address exogenous and endogenous triggering factors which may elicit scalp reactions, several kinds of questionnaires have been conducted in different populations, including self‐assessment, 3S, and 10Q questionnaires . However, the physiochemical characteristics of sensitive scalp remains largely unknown.…”

Background The scalp care market is growing rapidly and research into the factors associated with sensitive scalp is performed in many countries. However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has examined the factors triggering sensitive scalp in Korean women. Thus, the aim of our study was to establish objective standards for sensitive scalp, investigate factors that trigger this condition, and determine the ratio of sensitive scalp in Korean women. Methods A total of 125 Korean adult women participated in the study. The participants answered the questionnaire, had their scalp temperature measured, and the sensitive scalp condition was evaluated and analyzed. Results Compared to the non‐sensitive scalp (NS) group, the sensitive scalp (SS) group had a significantly higher average temperature and increased heat sensation, dandruff, erythema in the scalp, past history of atopy, history of hair loss, medical history of scalp disease, concern for scalp care, and interest in mild products and frequency of use. The majority of participants in the SS group had a dry scalp, and itching was common. Conclusion This study may help us to understand the characteristics of the sensitive scalp in Korean females and determine factors associated with triggering a sensitive scalp.

Purpose. Sensitive scalp (SScalp) is characterized by abnormal and nociceptive sensations, such as stinging and itching, that lead to scalp discomfort. This study assessed the benefit of a once-daily serum containing Adenosine, Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4), Vitamin C Glucoside (CG), and pre- and probiotic fractions in subjects with SScalp. Methods. An open-label, single center study in adult subjects with a Global Scalp Discomfort (GSD) score of ≥8 (0–27), defined as the sum of individual symptom scores (0–9) for itching, stinging, and warming sensations. The frequency of scratching was self-declared. Evaluations were performed immediately after the 1st application (D0Timm) and at D21, during which the cosmetic acceptability was additionally assessed. Transepidermal water loss and skin hydration were assessed at baseline, D21, and D28. Squalene (SQ) and SQOOH were analyzed at D0T0, D21T0, and D28. Tolerance was assessed throughout the study. Results. 42 subjects (30 women and 12 men) participated in this study. The mean age was 44.0 ± 13.0 years. At baseline, the mean GSD was 13.9 ± 3.28. The GSD and symptoms significantly p < 0.0001 improved at D0Timm and lasted until the end of the study (D28), with insignificant worsening. There was a significant reduction of SQOOH at D21 and D28. Subject satisfaction was high, associated with a good tolerance. A similar and significant p < 0.0001 improvement was observed for subjects with more severe symptoms and a GSD score ≥14 at baseline. Conclusion. The topical serum significantly reduces SScalp, global discomfort, and oxidative stress and is beneficial in the management of sensitive scalp. This TRIAL is registered with NCT05630027.
