Salic 100g Bar

Salicylic Acid and Zinc pyrithione work synergistically in the 1% soap formulation to provide effective therapeutic action. Salicylic Acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in breaking down and exfoliating dead skin cells. It penetrates the skin and weakens the bonds between keratinocytes, promoting the shedding of the outermost layer of the skin. This action helps unclog pores and reduce scaling associated with various skin conditions. Zinc pyrithione, on the other hand, is an antimicrobial and antifungal agent. It disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria and fungi, inhibiting their growth and proliferation. This mechanism helps control microbial populations on the skin, reducing inflammation and addressing conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and acne. Together, the combination of Salicylic Acid's exfoliating properties and Zinc pyrithione's antimicrobial action makes this soap formulation beneficial for managing various skin concerns.
