Zinc Pyrithione has both antifungal and antibacterial properties, and also helps reduce inflammation and cell turnover on the scalp. Together, these ingredients work to eliminate the microorganisms causing the condition while soothing the scalp and reducing symptoms like flaking, itching, and irritation.
