Product Details

Product Features

KINCHO SUMITHRIN Lice Killing Shampoo is a medicated product that kills head lice and crab lice infestations on human bodies.
Humans host three kinds of lice – head lice, pubic lice, and body lice. They typically suck blood through the skin and cause itchiness and eczema. Head lice are the most common mass outbreaks in preschools or elementary schools.

1 Excellent lice killing effect.
SUMITHRIN Shampoo has the same excellent extermination effect against adult and larval lice as SHUMITHRIN Powder.

2 Shampoo is very easy to use.
To use the shampoo, simply apply to the hair or body hair, lather, and wait five minutes.

3 The cap is the measuring cup.
It’s easy to measure the amount to use, and avoid waste.

4 Gentle on the skin, and hypo-allergenic.
In tests on animals (rabbits) and adult humans, SUMITHRIN Shampoo has been proven hypo-allergenic to the skin.

5 Comes with a special comb for removing lice eggs from the head.
Eggs and empty shells attached to head hair cannot be removed with the shampoo.
They can be combed away with the included comb.
(The special comb is included in the package with KINCHO SUMITHRIN Louse Killing Shampoo.)

Usage and Amounts

Method of Use (For head lice)

Apply and lather the shampoo, leave for 5 minutes, then rinse.

  • 1. Before use, wet hair slightly with room-temperature or lukewarm water.

  • 2. Use 10 to 20 ml for one shampooing. Measure with the gradations in the cap.

  • 3. Pour on head.

  • 4. Spread the liquid thoroughly and uniformly over the entire scalp and hair, to the hairlines, and work into a lather.

  • 5. Wrap the head in a towel or other covering to keep the shampoo away from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, and wait five minutes.

  • 6. Rinse away thoroughly with room-temperature or lukewarm water. Ordinary shampoo and/or conditioner may be used afterward.

Lice will be killed in 7 to 10 days. Use KINCHO SUMITHRIN Lice Killing Shampoo once every three days.

Repeat the use once in a day, on every third day (skipping two days each time), for a total of three or four uses. Ordinary shampoo and/or conditioner may be used at any time during this period.
Lice eggs are covered with a hard shell, and hatch in about 7 days. Accordingly, this procedure is designed to wait for new lice to hatch and then kill them.
The fourth use is to make sure any newly hatched lice are killed.

Egg shells with no living organism will remain. If desired, they may be combed out using the special comb supplied with the shampoo.

Precautions for Use

Precautions for use and usage amounts.

(1)
The procedures for use and usage amounts must be strictly followed.
(2)
The shampoo is for use only on directly affected parts of the body such as the hair and pubic hair. Never use it on any other part of the body.
(3)
While using the shampoo, take care to keep it out of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, urethra, vagina and anus. If it accidentally gets into the eyes, immediately rinse them with room-temperature or lukewarm water.
