Description :
Pyrithione Zinc, also known as Zinc Pyrithione, is a well-known antifungal and antimicrobial that is used a lot in skin and hair care products. People like it because it works well against fungi and microorganisms that cause dandruff. It usually looks like a fine white to slightly yellow powder.
Pyrithione Zinc is mostly used in medicated skin products, conditioners, anti-dandruff shampoos, and scalp treatments to help with itching, flaking, and an imbalance of microbes. It keeps fungi and bacteria from growing on the skin and scalp, which keeps them clean and comfortable for a long time.
Pyrithione Zinc is used in antimicrobial coatings, surface hygiene products, and speciality cleaners where microbial control is needed in some home care and speciality hygiene applications. Climbazole, Ketoconazole, Salicylic Acid, and Zinc Oxide are common ingredients that are added to make it work better overall.
