About Kadason
Kadason was created to address a challenge faced by millions of people worldwide: managing the ongoing discomfort of seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is not a temporary inconvenience. For many, it is a recurring condition that affects daily comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Kadason exists to offer a thoughtful, regulated option for people seeking reliable symptom management as part of their everyday routine.
Built From Personal Experience
Kadason’s development began with firsthand experience. The CEO of Ys Pharma Inc., Yamamoto, personally struggled with seborrheic dermatitis for years. Like many others, he experienced persistent itching, visible flaking, and the frustration of trying product after product without finding something that felt suitable for regular use. Rather than pursuing quick fixes or exaggerated claims, that experience led to a more careful question:
What would a shampoo look like if it were designed for people who actually live with this condition?
A Careful, Regulated Approach
Kadason was developed in close collaboration with pharmacists, with a focus on formulation discipline, regulatory compliance, and daily usability.
The result is a federally regulated OTC shampoo containing 1.80% salicylic acid, an active ingredient recognized for helping reduce the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff, including flaking and irritation.
Every formulation decision was guided by a single principle:
to support ongoing symptom management without unnecessary complexity or overstated promises.
From Japan, Made in the USA
Kadason began in Japan, shaped by careful formulation and a deep respect for regulated, methodical product development.
Today, Kadason is proudly produced in the United States, following strict quality and manufacturing standards. This allows us to ensure consistency, reliability, and accessibility for customers who depend on Kadason as part of their regular scalp-care routine.
