Follicel
Hair Shampoo for Head Lice
Pharmacology:
Follicel is a Phytoceutical derived from the complex processing of Citrus
Extracts.
Ingredients: Orange Extract, Citric Acid, Yucca Schidegra, and Glycerin.
The citrus extracts are processed for the polysaccharide properties, these
polysaccharides have an effect upon the mucous in the louse's airways
and also their digestive flora.. The Yucca Schidegra in the formula leaves
the hair soft and aids in the removal of lice and nits.
The pH of undiluted Follicel is 3.0 - 5.0.
There are currently no known resistance issues.
Indications (Directions):
For application on hair with head lice and nits (eggs).
Wash hair with a non-conditioning, non-detangling shampoo or preferably
a mild liquid soap.
Rinse shampoo from hair. Apply Follicel to hair and distribute well.
Cover hair with towel or preferably a shower cap for 20 minutes. Rinse
Follicel out of hair.
Comb out lice and nits. May be applied again at anytime.
Check hair after 7 days and reapply if necessary.
Product Performance:
A market acceptance test of 22,000 units sold during a 12 month period
in a UK test area revealed 19 product complaints of which 17 were traced
to the prior use of conditioning hair shampoos. Two complaints were unresolved.
Any product complaints should be referred to IBS customer service at 1-877-501-5003
Product performance complaints are almost always attributable to the following.
- Use of a shampoo that uses conditioning agents such as conditioners,
detanglers or body builders. These conditioners (waxes) create a protective
coating on the lice and eggs.
The best solution is to use a mild liquid soap or stripping shampoo to
wash the hair
- Hard water impedes the wetability and distribution of Follicel to lice
and eggs.
Try replacing the hard water with bottled water.

-Keep out of Reach of Children. -If irritation occurs discontinue use.

Inhalation - Non Hazardous
Skin Contact - Non Hazardous
Eye Contact - May cause minor irritation. Flush with copious quantities
of water.
