IchthyoCare

White Ichthamol, the effective agent of the IchthyoCare® preparations by Dr. Müller Pharma, is a light form of sulphonated slate oil. While ammonia is used for the neutralization of common dark ichthamol, and the final product contains a negligible amount of ammonia, White ichthamol is neutralized by sodium ions which aren’t so alien to our bodies and do not contain any free base that can irritate the skin. The advantage, then, is better solubility in water, a higher degree of water purity, fighter colour and better dermatological tolerance. It is also more active against fungi and yeasts which are the main cause of dermatitis and one of the most common causes of dandruff and other scalp problems which can affect the head.
