PHYSIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Product Description

Selenium sulfide is widely used for its antifungal and keratolytic properties. Medically, it is primarily used in topical formulations such as shampoos and lotions to treat skin conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and tinea versicolor (a fungal skin infection). It works by reducing the production of skin cells and limiting fungal growth on the skin.

How Selenium Sulfide Works

Selenium sulfide works by reducing the proliferation of skin cells and inhibiting the growth of fungi (especially Malassezia species) on the skin, thereby controlling dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and fungal infections. It also has mild keratolytic effects, helping to shed dead skin cells and reduce scaling.

Use(s)

• Anti-dandruff treatment – Commonly used in medicated shampoos.
• Treats seborrheic dermatitis – Reduces scalp inflammation and flaking.
• Treats tinea versicolor – A fungal skin infection caused by Malassezia.
• Antifungal agent – Inhibits growth of certain skin fungi.
• Mild keratolytic – Helps shed dead skin cells and reduce scaling.
• Used mainly in topical formulations like shampoos, creams, and lotions.

• Skin irritation (redness, itching, burning)
• Oiliness or dryness of the scalp or skin
• Hair discoloration or temporary hair loss (rare)
• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling) in sensitive individuals
• Eye irritation if it accidentally gets into the eyes
• Dry mouth or throat irritation (especially with inhalers)
