Scabium 60ml Lotion

Salicylic acid works by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and dissolving the intercellular substance that holds skin cells together. It penetrates into the skin, softening the keratin in the skin's structure, leading to the loosening and removal of the top layer of skin. Camphor, when applied topically, acts as a counterirritant, providing a cooling sensation and distracting from the underlying pain or irritation. It may also have mild anesthetic properties, further contributing to its soothing effect. Sulfur, when used in a lotion, exhibits keratolytic and antimicrobial properties. It reduces the cohesiveness of skin cells, promoting exfoliation and unclogging pores. Additionally, sulfur's antimicrobial activity helps combat bacteria and fungi that contribute to various skin conditions.
