Reducing the effects of oily skin and oily hair.

Zinc is an essential mineral. PCA is part of the NMF (natural moisturizing factor).

Zinc PCA regulates the sebaceous glands (which produce sebum (oil) that is secreted via the pores of your skin. When the sebaceous glands are over active, the is a build up of sebum that must be removed. If it is not removed, that build up will manifest itself as blackheads for skin and oily hair (and scalp).

Skin: People with an oily complexion will benefit from Zinc PCA in a similar manner. Again, the output of sebum from the sebaceous glands need to be controlled with this type of complexion.

Hair: When oil builds up on the scalp, it quickly can turn to having a flaky scalp and very oily hair. Because the sebum is drying and effectively sitting on top of the scalp, it will begin to flake and most likely itch, as well.

Our skin sheds itself every 24 to 28 days. Dandruff is that process happening faster than it normally would. In our experience, many people who think they have dandruff actually have over active sebaceous glands. They then accrue a build up of oil and dead skin cells when they do not properly clean around their scalp. Now this is a problem that can be managed easier than thought previously. Zinc PCA will regulate the sebaceous glands so the sebum output is controlled.

The focus should be on:
1) Controlling sebum (oil) output for over active sebaceous glands.
2) Cleaning around the root of the hair - getting rid of dead skin cells and excessive sebum.
