OTC Anti-lice Total Formula, Insecticide-Free Pediculicide Treatment

Recommended for...

The OTC Anti-lice Total Formula is a physical-action pediculicide presented in a spray format. Its formula combines Dimethicone (a silicone oil) with Squalane and other esters (such as Ethylhexyl Stearate) to achieve maximum efficacy without resorting to chemical insecticides.IMAGEN_R

The mechanism of action is physical: the solution completely covers the louse and nit, penetrating their respiratory systems (spiracles) and causing their death by suffocation and an imbalance in water retention/loss (dehydration). This physical mode of action minimizes the risk of lice developing resistance, a common problem with chemical treatments like Permethrin.

The main characteristics of this treatment are:

  • Speed of Action: Eliminates lice in just 2 minutes.
  • Ovicidal Efficacy: Promises high efficacy (up to 86% after 5 minutes) against nits, allowing the manufacturer to recommend a single application, repeating only if the infestation persists.
  • Safety: Being odorless, colorless, and insecticide-free, it is a very safe, hypoallergenic product, suitable for children from 1 year of age and people with sensitive or atopic skin.

PHRASE_CLike other oil-based or silicone-based products, it is applied to dry hair. It is important not to wet the hair before washing and to massage well with shampoo to emulsify and ensure the correct rinsing of the product.

PROS

Non-Insecticidal: Physical action prevents resistance and is safer for children, sensitive skin, and people with asthma.
Ultra-Fast Treatment: Eliminates lice in just 2 minutes, simplifying the process.
High Ovicidal Action: Its formula is highly effective against nits, meaning a single application is often enough.
Apt for Babies: Approved for use in children from 12 months of age.

CONS

Oily Residue: Due to its Dimethicone/Squalane base, it can be difficult to rinse out and often requires two washes to completely remove the oily residue.
Flammable Warning: Like most silicone-based sprays, care must be taken to keep the hair away from fire or other heat sources during and immediately after application.
