• Broad Spectrum: It is effective against a variety of fungal infections, including those caused by dermatophytes and yeasts.

2.Cetrimide (0.5%):

• Antiseptic Properties: Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium compound that exhibits antibacterial and disinfectant properties. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of bacteria, leading to cell death.
• Surface Active Agent: It also acts as a surfactant, aiding in the removal of dirt and impurities from the skin.

3.Total Fatty Matter (TFM) 76%:

• A higher TFM indicates that the soap is of good quality, providing better moisturizing properties and skin care. It helps in maintaining skin hydration while delivering the active ingredients effectively.
