• Coal Tar: Coal tar is keratopathic (sheds dead skin cells from the top layer to allow growth of new skin cells) and is used to help alleviate dermatological issues such as itching, flaking, and scaling due to seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis
• Micronized Sulfur: Sulfur has a variety of beneficial properties for optimizing health. It's well-known for providing joint health benefits, has been shown to aid in reducing chronic inflammation, has detoxifying properties, and can help with oxidation damage. Sulfur has also been used for years as a fungicide and pesticide. For pets, it's used to help destroy ringworm, seborrhea, mange, and other dermatoses and parasites
• Salicylic Acid: Salicylic acid is best known as an active ingredient used in many OTC human acne products. It's also known for relieving aches and pains with its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as reducing fevers. And, salicylic acid is used widely for skin-care products to treat seborrheic dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, dandruff, and even warts. It works to help shed the cells of the epidermis, allowing clogged pores to open, neutralize bacteria, and then prevents pores from re-clogging by constricting them and allowing for new cell growth
