Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Preparations of the Sulsen Forte cosmetic series based on the traditional component selenium sulfide (Selenium sulfide) have a therapeutic and preventive effect, reduce the intensity of dandruff, soothe scalp irritation and itching. They are enriched with components that help restore the hair structure, nourish and heal the hair, restoring its natural shine. The paste contains conditioning agents that soften hair and make it easier to comb. Thanks to its mild detergent formula, the shampoo gently cleanses the hair and scalp without over-drying.
The action of the main active components in the composition of Sulsen Forte preparations:
- Selenium sulfide (Selenium sulfide): has a clinically proven antimitotic effect (inhibits the process of cell division and fungal reproduction) against Malassezia furfur, Microsporum canis, Microsporum spp., Pityrosporum spp., Trichophyton spp.; relieves itching and flaking of the scalp caused by seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff;
- Climbazole: an imidazole derivative that has proven in vitro and in vivo specific activity against Malassezia spp., which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of dandruff; provides elimination of dandruff, itching, burning, peeling of the skin caused by pathogenic factors; eliminates epidermal layers, stimulates hair growth, inhibits the growth of fungal microflora;
- ketoconazole: antimycotic derivative of imidazoledioxolane for external use; has fungicidal and fungistatic activity against dermatophytes, including Trichophyton (T.) rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. tonsurans, Microsporum (M.) canis, M. audouinii, M. gypseum, Epidermophyton floccosum, as well as yeast and yeast-like fungi, such as Candida (C.) albicans, C. tropicalis, Pityrosporum ovale, Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur). The mechanism of antifungal action is the inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis by ketoconazole, which results in a change in the lipid composition of the fungal cell membrane. The substance quickly relieves flaking and itching of the scalp associated with seborrheic eczema, dandruff and pityriasis versicolor;
- Nettle leaf extract (Urtica dioica leaf extract): has a high level of biological activity. It has a cleansing effect due to the content of tannins - it cleanses and tightens pores, regulates the secretion of sebum, soothes irritation, and exhibits antifungal and antimicrobial activity. Strengthens hair and stimulates its growth by influencing the synthesis of male hormones that cause baldness; destroys dandruff, removes static electricity from hair, increases its strength and shine.
What is the remedy
Sulsen Forte is a line of dermatotropic shampoos with antimicrobial, antimycotic, hair growth stimulating and skin toning properties. They protect the head from parasitic and bacterial infections and negative environmental factors.
The action of medicinal shampoos is aimed at activating cellular regeneration and saturating the follicles with nutrients. They strengthen the epithelial coating and stimulate metabolic processes in the upper layers of the epidermis. The chemical formula of hygiene products is modeled on the basis of sulfur and selenium.
These inorganic compounds have a pronounced ability to suppress the activity of pathogenic microorganisms and have a deodorizing effect on the hair shafts.
Selenium:
- involved in the antioxidant mechanism of the skin;
- has a local immunomodulatory effect;
- performs a hormonal regulatory function, ensuring an optimal balance of thyroid compounds;
- reduces the level of intoxication of the epidermis and hair columns.
With a deficiency of this chemical element, various types of dermatitis develop, including seborrheic. A deficiency of selenium in epidermal cells leads to eczema, suppression of local immunity, and weakening of hair shafts and root bulbs.
Shampoos from the Sulsen Forte line additionally strengthen the nail plates and prevent their degenerative condition. Hygiene products replenish the body’s natural need for selenium, which for women is 55 mcg, and for men – 70 mcg per day.
Another pharmacologically active component of shampoos is sulfur, known as sulfur. Cosmetic products use a special medical molecular modification of this important structural macroelement of the body. It is contained in biologically significant amino acids - cysteine and methionine.
Sulfur:
- forms the molecular structure of intracellular proteins due to the formation of special disulfide chains;
- serves as an important component of enzymes and hormones;
- part of the structure of histamine, biotin, lipoic acid;
- performs a transport function for the transfer of methyl groups;
- participates in the formation of coenzymes.
Sulsen Forte is a shampoo whose reviews emphasize its ability to strengthen hair and improve skin condition. The hygienic preparation normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, suppresses inflammation of the follicles, and eliminates dandruff.

Indications for use
The line's shampoos are used for therapeutic, cosmetic and preventive purposes. They are effective in suppressing the symptoms of mycotic lesions of the scalp.
Hygiene products are indicated for increased formation of corneocytes on the skin surface - the outer double cells of the epidermis, held together by lipid ceramides.
The shampoo is recommended for use when:
- seborrheic dermatitis – a chronic inflammatory disease that affects areas of the body with developed sebaceous glands;
- profuse formation of dandruff - a dermato-cosmetic disorder characterized by rapid scaly exfoliation of dead particles of the epidermis over a relatively long period of time;
- skin irritation syndrome accompanied by itching and hyperemia;
- pathological hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands, causing excess oiliness in the scalp and blocking the delivery of oxygen to the cells of the inner layers of the epidermis;
- dry seborrhea - a painful condition of the skin, which is caused by inhibition of the function of sweating and reduced secretion of the lipid product of the sebaceous glands, which leads to a dystrophic state of the hairline and fragility of the hair shafts;
- skin itching caused by inflammation and the activity of pathogenic microorganisms;
- fungal infection of hair follicles.
Caring products from the Sulsen Forte line are prescribed for the progression of physiological seborrhea during puberty in both boys and girls. Shampoos are recommended for the prevention of dermatic mycoses in elderly women after menopause.
Such disorders are caused by hormonal suppression, which is characteristic of menopausal syndrome. Hygienic products are especially effective in preventing seborrheic dermatitis caused by yeast-like fungi of the genus Malassezia furfur.
