Unlike other major head lice treatments:
- Resultz® does not contain commonly used pesticides
- The active ingredient in Resultz® is isopropyl myristate, which is widely used in skincare and cosmetic products.
- Unlike pyrethrins, isopropyl myristate is not a neurotoxin1,2,3
- Resultz® is odourless and colourless
- Resultz® works by dissolving the wax covering on the exoskeleton of head lice causing dehydration and subsequent death
- Resistance by lice to Resultz® is unlikely because of its physical mode of action.
- Resultz® head lice treatment is completed in 10 minutes.
