Nits are the eggs from which the head louse hatches in no time and perpetuates the problem. That is why on many products it says clearly that you have to repeat the treatment on various consecutive days. What it really means is that these products do not get rid of nits (eggs), which is absolutely vital in the treatment of head lice condition. Additionally, theories that you can repel head lice are highly controversial.

However DELACET is different. Strong properties of its herbal contents kill head lice and nits with no harm to humans. Clinical trials proved 100% mortality of head lice and their eggs after applying DELACET for 2 hours. As a matter of fact DELACET does not just eliminate head lice. It is designed to treat parasites and nits anywhere on human body (under arm pits and in the pubic area). The fact that one does not have to use a nit comb after treatment is another advantage. Manufactured for over 40 years this outstanding herbal product has a very long proven record of effectiveness. It contains no artificial colours or preservatives and has not been tested on animals. It is suitable for adults and children (over 12 months) and all hair types.

DELACET is very simple to apply. All you have to do is: wet dry hair generously with DELACET, wrap head loosely in an old towel for 2 - 3 hours and then wash thoroughly in your favourite shampoo and comb as usual. DELACET is also recommended for people with difficult to manage hair (Afro or dreadlocks), where combing is not possible or impractical. Due to its "watery" consistency DELACET penetrates hair quickly all the way to the scalp and later is very easily washed out. DELACET has been formulated to be a single treatment product, however in case of heavy infestation repeated application might be beneficial.

INGREDIENTS: Tincture of Larkspur, Acetic acid.

4 Ply Extra Soft - Ideal for Sensitive Skins.

Being made from cotton it is much kinder and softer on the skin than wood-based paper which can cause skin irritations (recently many products in this category have added aloe vera which is added to try to reduce skin irritation).

The other major benefit is that it is far less environmentally damaging. Firstly, cotton is an annually harvested crop so it does not require felling of trees. Secondly, to convert wood into paper requires huge amounts of chemical processing which in itself has a significant impact on the environment. Conversely cotton requires virtually no processing and uses no bleaches or other harmful chemicals to convert it into paper. Furthermore because Cotton Soft's raw material is organically grown there are no harmful pesticides or fertilisers used.

These tissues are made entirely from 100% pure natural cotton. Furthermore, the cotton is organically grown so is totally free of chemical pesticides, fertilisers, and bleaches.
