Capasal shampoo contains three active ingredients viz., Salicylic acid, Coconut Oil and Coal tar, which helps to relieve itching and dry & scaly scalp. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent, more precisely a desmolytic agent, which dissolves and loosens up the cement holding the skin cells together, resulting in the peeling of the skin from the affected area.

Coal tar is a mild antiseptic agent and anti-inflammatory effects that help to relieve the itching. Coal tar is also a keratoplastic agent that slows down cell growth by inhibiting cellular DNA replication. Thus, coal tar helps to reduce the thickening and scaling of the skin.

Coconut Oil helps to soften and hydrate the scalp, making it soft and supple.
