SLS-Free Anti-Dandruff Beard Shampoo
Overview
RUNESILK's SLS-Free Anti-Dandruff Beard Shampoo is a sulphate-free beard wash formulated to cleanse facial hair without stripping the skin underneath. Bisabolol and Climbazole target irritation and visible flakes directly, while Aloe and Vitamin E support a softer, healthier-feeling beard. Housed in a sustainable aluminium bottle, it is made in the UK in small batches and available with a screw cap or pump cap.
The shampoo has won Best Beard Shampoo at the Beauty Shortlist Awards for two consecutive years (2025 and 2026), and is also shortlisted for the 2027 Clean Beauty Awards.

Founder Quote
"Beard dandruff usually comes down to what's happening on the skin, not just the hair. We built this shampoo around Climbazole and Bisabolol because they actually address that, rather than just adding another fragrance to a bottle. Winning Best Beard Shampoo two years running from the Beauty Shortlist tells us the formula is doing what we said it would."
Key Ingredients
Climbazole — an antifungal active that targets the yeast associated with visible beard flakes.
Bisabolol — a calming compound that helps reduce irritation and itchiness beneath the beard.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice — adds lightweight moisture without weighing the beard down.
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) — an antioxidant that helps protect the beard from everyday environmental stress.
