Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT) is one of the most widely used and scientifically proven active ingredients for treating dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. With strong anti-fungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects, ZPT inhibits the growth of Malassezia species on the scalp— the root cause of dandruff.
It is safe, effective, and globally approved for use in rinse-off and leave-on products. ZPT also plays a key role in antimicrobial protection across industrial coatings, textiles, plastics, and more.
ZPT is used in a wide range of leading consumer and industrial products:
| Industry | ZPT Application | Example Products |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-dandruff shampoos, scalp tonics, soaps | Head & Shoulders, Clear, Dove, Pantene | |
| Skin Care | Antifungal creams, face washes | La Roche-Posay, Vichy |
| Home Care | Antimicrobial soaps, pet care shampoos | Pet Head, Selsun Blue |
| Paint & Coatings | Antimicrobial coatings, anti-algae surfaces | Industrial marine paints |
