KERATO SOFT SOAP

Salicylic acid works by dissolving the intercellular matrix in the stratum corneum, promoting desquamation of scaly skin. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, reducing inflammation and inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria on the skin. Sulphur, when applied topically, has keratolytic and antimicrobial effects. It helps to break down and eliminate excess keratin, reducing scaling and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. Coal tar acts as a keratoplastic agent, slowing the rapid growth and shedding of skin cells. It also has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties, providing relief from itching and inflammation. Resorcinol soap functions as a keratolytic agent, breaking down and softening the outer layer of the skin. It facilitates the removal of hard and thick skin, promoting desquamation and the shedding of dead skin cells.
