Medicinal Benefits

It consists of Clotrimazole (antifungal) and Selenium sulphide (anti-infective). Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Selenium sulphide is an anti-infective agent that relieves itching and flaking of the scalp and removes the dry, scaly particles.
