Overview

Pyridoxine HCl is the technical name for Vitamin B6. This ingredient is frequently found in hair products that are used for anti-dandruff purposes.

The topical application of this ingredient is thought to reduce the production of sebum by the skin, which may be the reason for its popularity in anti-dandruff products.

Pyridoxine HCl is often paired with anti-inflammatory ingredients, like allantoin, or with moisturizers, like glycerin, to create blends that fight overactive sebum production and flaking scalps. Blends that include this ingredient can also include other B-vitamins, such as niacinamide or panthenol, to act as soothing agents and moisturizers.
