Product Overview
This formulation operates as a “Surface Debrider and Sterilizer.” It physically strips away the infected outer layers of the skin while chemically preventing the growth of fungal colonies.
Mechanism 1 (The Keratolytic Strike – Salicylic Acid): Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that dissolves the “intercellular cement” holding skin cells together. This physically causes the shedding of the Stratum Corneum (dead skin layer), removing the physical habitat and food source of the fungus.
Mechanism 2 (The Antistatic Shield – Benzoic Acid): Benzoic acid exerts a fungistatic effect by acidifying the local environment. This physically inhibits the growth and metabolic processes of Dermatophytes (skin fungi), preventing the infection from spreading.
Mechanism 3 (Enhanced Penetration): By removing the thickened, dead skin, the lotion allows other antifungal agents (if used concurrently) to reach the deeper, living layers of the epidermis more effectively.
