What does it do?

Sulfur is a mineral that aids skin health, primarily used to alleviate skin infections and inflammation. This ingredient is utilized in the treatment of various skin disorders such as acne and eczema.

Sulfur softens the keratin on the skin surface, removing dead cells, and reduces skin infections through its antimicrobial action. This has an effect of alleviating skin inflammation and irritation.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
