There are chemical pesticide products like maldison and permethrin. Head lice are developing resistance to some chemical products and they may not be as effective as they were in the past. Another type of product is based on natural essential oils. They have been criticised for lack of clinical studies. NeutraLice Lotion is one of only a few natural products that have been clinically tested and proven to kill head lice and eggs. Resistance has not been reported to be a problem with essential oil products. Pesticide free products have a physical mode of action and kill lice by suffocating them. NeutraLice Advance is pesticide-free and is clinically proven to kill head lice and eggs. It is suitable for sensitive skin and young children over the age of 6 months.
