How does this lotion work on hair and scalp?

The lotion formulation helps distribute the active ingredient evenly across hair and scalp for thorough coverage. It is formulated with ivermectin at 0.5%, a clinically recognized antiparasitic ingredient commonly used in topical lice controls. The goal is to reach both mobile lice and their eggs so fewer follow-up steps are needed.
