Ø  Zinc Pyrithione (ZPTO): Often included (around 1% w/w) for its additional antifungal and antibacterial properties, particularly effective against dandruff.

Ø  Other ingredients may include soap noodles base, glycerin, aloe vera, or perfume to provide a complete cleansing and moisturizing experience.

Ø  Yeast infections like pityriasis versicolor (skin discolouration) and candidiasis.

Ø  Cleansing to support healing in mixed fungal and bacterial skin conditions.

Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention. Consult a doctor if they persist or worsen. Common side effects may include:
