Question 1

Do you have the sulfur 10% and salicylic acid type as a liquid soap?

Accepted Answer

At this time there are no plans to manufacture a 10% Sulfur & 3% SA liquid castile soap.  Sulfur is not water soluble and is very difficult to suspend in liquid solutions without using highly engineered non-natural ingredients.  Our customers tend to have the same outcome with both our 10% Sulfur/3% SA or the 5% Sulfur/2% SA bar soap.  Moreover, the FDA has an approved monograph for up to 5% Sulfur when mixed with SA.  This gives the lower strength version a better footing in science which translates to better acceptance with medical practitioners.  The next product to be released is a 5% Sulfur/2% SA solid shampoo bar (non-soap / natural peppermint scented).

We will continue to manufacture the 10% Sulfur & 3% SA bar soap.

Question 2

This sulfur+salicylic soap or the zinc pyrithione Castile soap, Which is better for cystic acne and bumpy skin?

Accepted Answer

Sulfur and salicylic are not good for cystic acne. There is an OTC that is called Differin. My bet is you will find that product on Amazon. If not go elsewhere. It's important that you use a foaming ph balanced cleansing soap to wash and a high vitamin A content lotion to apply after your cleaned up. The sulfur and it's friend could cause cellulitis. Benzoyl peroxide seems to be your best friend at this point.if I were you I would get a foaming facial cleanserwith the benzoyl peroxide and some retinol lotion which Amazon has the best price. Use sparingly. The chemicas in the Castile soap and others would probably do more harm than good. You have sensitive skin so you have to be careful and diligent about your facial routine. Im not a doctor but I have severe outbreaks on my face and the sulfur and salicylic acid work on me. Twice a week I use and it's great! I don't have cystic acne either. I hope you found my long winded typing of use and I truly hope the best for you.  Consult your physician. Be well.

Question 3

Can you mix with plain Castile liquid soap?

Accepted Answer

Dilute as you see fit with other natural Castile Liquid Soaps.  Dilution will lessen efficacy of the active ingredient (pyrithione zinc) and we don't encourage dilution.

Question 4

can you use on non affected area

Accepted Answer

I don't know why you would want to. It has purpose. If you want to put sulfur and salicylic acid perfectly good skin, you should consult with your primary care Physician. Personally the stuff stinks like rotten eggs. That's sulfur. So what do you. Smell or not to smell. Good luck and don't smell.
