Question
What cosmetic ingredients can be used for lice treatment in formulations like shampoos or lotions, considering that medicinal ingredients like ivermectin are classified as drugs and cannot be used in cosmetics? Is Tea Tree Oil effective for this purpose?
Answer
Based on the previous reply, highly effective treatments for lice, such as those containing ivermectin, are classified as drugs and cannot be used in cosmetic formulations.
However, in the cosmetics industry, Tea Tree Oil is commonly used in formulations like shampoos or hair conditioners for lice treatment, although its effectiveness is not definitively proven.
We have Tea Tree Oil available, which is often used for this purpose in cosmetic applications.
