Premethrin 5% w/v Lotion is a trusted topical formulation designed to treat scabies and lice effectively. It’s one of those essential dermatological solutions that work instantly, but gently help comfort those struggling with persistent itching and irritation. This lotion contains Permethrin, a well-known antiparasitic agent, which acts directly on the insects causing the infection without being harsh on the skin.
Scabies and lice are uncomfortable and often embarrassing skin conditions that can affect anyone. Whether it’s the constant itch that keeps you awake at night or the discomfort that makes daily activities difficult. Perpure Lotion was developed by Zoic Life Sciences. This lotion brings quick, soothing relief while effectively eliminating the root cause of mites, lice, and their eggs.
Unlike some treatments that dry out the skin or leave a sticky residue, Premethrin 5% Lotion is designed with a balanced base that spreads smoothly, absorbs well, and doesn’t stain clothes or bedding. It’s dermatologically tested and formulated under strict quality standards to ensure both safety and efficacy. At Zoic Life Sciences, we believe in combining science with care, and this lotion is a reflection of that philosophy

- Head lice: Apply the lotion evenly to dry hair and scalp. Leave it for about 15–20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and comb out the dead lice and eggs.
