Piroctone Olamine is an antifungal and antimicrobial agent widely used in pharmaceutical and personal care formulations. It is highly effective in treating fungal infections, dandruff, and seborrheic dermatitis by inhibiting the growth of Malassezia yeast. Known for its scalp-soothing properties, it is commonly found in medicated shampoos, creams, and antifungal ointments. Its gentle nature makes it a preferred alternative to traditional zinc-based treatments, offering long-lasting protection against microbial growth.
