Description
Zinc pyrithione possesses antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties that can help in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis (also known as dandruff), scalp psoriasis, and acne. Zinc pyrithione improves the appearance and feel of hair by increasing volume, elasticity, or shine, as well as improving the texture of damaged hair, either physically or as a result of chemical processing. Zinc pyrithione cleanses the skin and prevents unpleasant odors by killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. It can also be used to protect cosmetics and personal hygiene products from contamination by preventing or slowing the growth of bacteria.
