Oily dandruff consists of yellowish, greasy scales that stick to the scalp and hair, on skin that gets oily quickly. Traditional Chinese Medicine sees two imbalances combined: the Wood Element, linked to the liver and gallbladder, which governs sebum, and the Earth Element, which governs the clearing of waste.

Oily dandruff: how to recognise the signs
- Yellowish, greasy scales rather than small white flakes.
- Flakes that stick to the scalp and hair and do not fall when brushing.
- A scalp that gets oily again quickly after shampooing.
- Possible itching, sometimes slight redness.
Why a standard anti-dandruff shampoo is not enough
A drying shampoo removes oil and scales for a few hours, but the scalp often reacts by producing more sebum. For TCM, both terrains need to be addressed at once: regulating the excess sebum of the Wood Element and helping the skin clear its waste, without harshness.
What makes the Géomer approach different
A Wood Element blend to regulate sebum, combined with Earth Element propolis to purify: two Elements worked on together, with ingredients of natural origin.
What Géomer recommends
1
Regulate sebum
On a dry scalp, apply 13 drops of Amplitude Oil N°1 over the whole head and massage with your fingertips to spread it. Do not wet.
2
Purify with propolis
Still on a dry scalp, spread 2 pumps of Propolis Shampoo, or rub on the solid version, Propolis Shampoo Bar. Massage with your fingertips to loosen the scales and leave on for 7 minutes. Add a little water, lather, then rinse with lukewarm water and towel dry well.
3
Settle the scalp
Apply a little Oligo F4 to the scalp, parting by parting, to help it regain its natural balance. Do not rinse, and style as usual.
