INGREDIENT INTRODUCTION: Eucalyptus Oil
Posted 17 August 10One of the key ingredients we use in MOOV Head Lice solution
is Eucalyptus Oil. You can’t get more Australian than Eucalyptus,
or Eucalyptus polybractea, the botanical name for the blue mallee gum. It is widely found throughout New South Wales and Victoria. The oil is a clear liquid with characteristic odour. The oil is also well known for its antibacterial properties.
With the introduction of pesticide-based head lice treatments several decades
ago, we saw the infestation rate fall dramatically. However, today, due to growing pesticide resistance, the head louse is staging a come back. To combat this, we’ve have employed Eucalyptus Oil as our weapon of choice.
MOOV Head Lice Solution has been clinically proven to be twice as effective in treating head lice infestations as two other popular treatments.* In addition, it does not need to be combined with combing for it to be effective. This means significant time saving for parents.
* Over a two week period MOOV trialists received three treatments, each seven days apart, chemical trialists received two treatments each seven days apart as per manufacturer’s instructions. Data held on file.
Always read the label and use only as directed.
