Zinc pyrithione is a zinc compound, widely valued for its potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Zinc pyrithione is particularly effective against fungi such as Malassezia, which is a common cause of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and other skin irritations. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a common skin condition affecting about 1–3% of people.
In addition, zinc pyrithione itself significantly reduces scaling and inflammation. One study found that a 0.25% concentration of zinc pyrithione, applied twice daily, effectively treats plaque psoriasis. This powerful ingredient is a key component of Propaira’s SD Plus Shampoo.
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3, a multi-functional ingredient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin. It is a water-soluble substance that offers a wide array of benefits for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
With its potent anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide soothes irritated skin and is particularly beneficial for conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, and dry skin.
By boosting the production of ceramides, niacinamide strengthens the skin’s natural barrier. A healthy skin barrier helps to retain moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and harmful UV rays, crucial for maintaining youthful, healthy skin.
As it enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture, it is a hero ingredient for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin and pairs well with other hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to provide long-lasting hydration.
For those with oily or combination skin, niacinamide is very effective at regulating oil production without drying out the skin and helps reduce the severity of breakouts, making it an excellent choice for acne-prone skin.An additional benefit of niacinamide is that it stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also protecting against environmental stress, which can accelerate skin ageing.
Menthol is most widely recognised for its cooling effect on the skin. When applied, it activates the skin’s cold-sensitive receptors, creating a cooling sensation that can relieve discomfort and irritation. This makes menthol especially useful for soothing skin affected by sunburn, rashes, or minor burns.
The cooling sensation helps to distract from the sensation of pain or itching, providing immediate relief from discomfort. Menthol’s soothing properties – calming inflammation, reducing itching and promoting healing- make it an essential ingredient for relief from sunburn, acne, and skin irritation. Propaira’s itch-prone skin cream contains 2% menthol, designed to relieve discomfort from dryness, irritation, and itching.
