Hair and/or scalp treatment compositions comprise an antidandruff agent, an effective amount of a cannabinoid receptor (CBR) activating agent and a cosmetically acceptable diluent or carrier. Alternatively, the compositions may be shampoo compositions comprising from 3 to 50 wt % surfactant, a CB receptor activating agent and a cosmetically acceptable diluent or carrier, provided that the CB receptor activating agent is not palmitoylethanolamide. The compositions are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of the symptoms of dandruff and can reduce scalp itch, a symptom which is typically associated with dandruff. |
