Sulfur (Sulphur)
  • Antibacterial 
  • Promotes cell turnover

Sulphur is more of an ‘old school’ ingredient and historically it has been extensively used to address various skin conditions including rosacea, acne and seborrheic dermatitis. Topical application of sulfur is generally well-tolerated as research reveals that adverse reactions are rare and typically limited to mild irritation at the site of application. Whether used on its own or in combination with other ingredients, sulfur has proven effective in treating numerous skin disorders.

Propaira Sulfur Plus is water based, containing smaller particles of sulfur therefore it does not cause yellowing of the skin and is odourless.
