Anti-lice shampoo
in Formulating
Hello everyone,
Does anyone try to make an anti-lice shampoo using benzyl benzoate?
I am considering it, but i can't get the percentage of its usage.

I am looking into formulating anti-lice for syndet.
most products I found labeled with Anti-lice only contains Neem extract, Madre de cacao and tea tree essential oil. I wonder if these ingredients would suffice😅
In my country there is a anti-lice soap and shampoo which contain "camphor". It is traditional treatment and it is very effective.
It must be otc ingredients all over the world.
But if I remember correctly it can only use as hair lotion, not as shampoo. Because it must be sit on scalp 5-8 hours.

Once upon a time I was working towards being a research biologist in cellular biology. Searching for papers on various things that tickle my brain is still something I do quite often.
A 4% dimethicone(dimeticone) product that's left on for 15 minutes I believe is commonly used in the UK and NZ. I wonder if it would be worthwhile for someone to file to have it used similarly here?
And I sincerely apologize if the information I shared was misleading
So if a product claims to help decrease dry skin and/or protect against it, it automatically shifts to being considered an otc? And the active ingredients that add those traits to the product have to be ones the FDA have listed for those conditions and in the percentages found on the monograph?
It sounds very much like the FDA's definition of supplements and how they must be taken by mouth since they're considered food. It's rather sad, because fat soluble substances like D3 would likely have a much better absorption rate at a lower dosage if they were applied inside the nostrils
But I have strayed very far off topic.
I don't want to hijack this thread.
I will continue researching FDA regulations. Thank you again
"the law says that if a dietary supplement label includes such a claim, it must state in a "disclaimer" that FDA has not evaluated this claim. The disclaimer must also state that this product is not intended to "diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease," because only a drug can legally make such a claim." https://www.fda.gov/Food/DietarySupplements/UsingDietarySupplements/ucm480069.htm
But what about using deet99 ?
