Klorane

From the botanical labs of Pierre Fabre, Klorane brings authentic French pharmacy hair care built on plant science. Best known for the iconic klorane dry shampoo with oat milk, the range covers dandruff, oily roots, scalp sensitivity, and beyond.

Klorane: Botanical Hair Care from the French Pharmacy

Klorane was founded in France in 1965 by Pierre Fabre, a pharmacist who believed that plant-based ingredients could deliver real, measurable results for hair and skin. Sold exclusively in French pharmacies for decades, the brand built its reputation on botanical science, not marketing promises. Each formula is developed by the Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmetique Institute in the Toulouse region, where botanists and dermatologists work together to identify and standardize plant actives. Today Klorane is the top-selling hair care line in French pharmacies, known best for its dry shampoo with oat milk, and also for targeted treatments for dandruff, oily roots, color-treated hair, and scalp sensitivity.

Key Klorane Product Lines

• Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk: The original cult dry shampoo, gentle enough for daily use, with micronized oat milk to absorb oil without drying the scalp.
• Klorane Balancing Shampoo with Galanga: A plant-based answer to dandruff, using galanga root extract to rebalance the scalp without stripping moisture.
• Klorane Eye Make-up Remover with Cornflower: A pharmacy staple for sensitive eyes, with cornflower water to soothe redness and remove makeup completely.
• Klorane Oil for Stretch Marks: A lightweight botanical oil formulated for skin elasticity during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
• Klorane Shampoo with Citron Pulp: Formulated for oily roots, with citron pulp to regulate sebum and restore balance between washes.

Key Ingredients and Technology

Klorane relies on standardized plant extracts prepared in its own botanical laboratory, where each active is measured to a consistent concentration batch to batch. Oat milk, the brand's most recognized ingredient, contains beta-glucans that reinforce the scalp barrier and calm irritation. Cornflower water retains active flavonoids shown to reduce puffiness and redness around the eyes. Galanga root, a botanical relative of ginger, provides antimicrobial compounds that address the underlying causes of dandruff rather than just the symptoms. Peony extract, featured in the brand's thinning-hair range, is studied for its role in hair follicle longevity and density.
