NOTHING ELSE IS FORMULATED LIKE VAMOUSSE® 3

The advanced formula of Vamousse® disrupts the protective lipid layer of the adult louse, rapidly delivering the active ingredient natrum muriaticum (sodium chloride) to the louse body. This causes a rupture of the intestinal tract, followed by dehydration.4 Eggs are similarly dehydrated, rendering them unviable.5

THE SCIENCE BEHIND VAMOUSSE®

Scientific studies

Vamousse® Head Lice Treatment was tested using internationally recognized ASTM testing protocols.6 Following these industry standards, the products were tested in the laboratory on head lice and head lice eggs collected from volunteers in South Florida. Lice in this geographic area have been extensively documented to have developed genetic resistance (99%) to the traditional head lice treatment active ingredients, pyrethrin, and permethrin.7

study-tables

The test exposed the lice to Vamousse® Head Lice Treatment for 15 minutes, as per the product instructions, followed by a warm water rinse.

100% of treated head lice were confirmed dead 24 hours after this single application.
