Zinocap - dermatoprotective agent. Pyrithione zinc (active ingredient of Zinocap) has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activity. Antibacterial activity of zinc pyrithione is manifested in a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: Streptococcus spp. (streptococcus), Staphylococcus spp. (Staphylococcus aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp. (Proteus).

Zinocap reduces the intracellular level of ATP, promotes the depolarization of cell membranes, causing the death of fungi and bacteria. Antifungal activity is particularly pronounced when exposed to Pityrosporum ovale and Pityrosporum orbiculare, causing inflammation and excessive desquamation in dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and other skin conditions. The mechanism of anti-inflammatory action has not been studied.
