AUGMENTATION OF PYRITHIONE ACTIVITY OR A POLYVALENT METAL SALT OF PYRITHIONE ACTIVITY BY ZINC-CONTAINING LAYERED MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione and an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material which provides an augmentation factor greater than 1. The present invention further relates to a method of treating microbial infections, fungal infections, or treating dandruff comprising the use of a composition comprising an effective amount of pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione, an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material which provides an augmentation factor greater than 1.
