Folliculitis Body Wash – Skin Comfort Formula with Tea Tree, Lemongrass & Sulfur Complex – 7 oz | Ovante

What Is Folliculitis?

Folliculitis is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become inflamed, typically due to bacterial or fungal infection, physical irritation, or blocked pores. It can appear anywhere on the body where hair grows — including the chest, back, arms, legs, and scalp — and often presents as small red bumps, pustules, or pimple-like lesions clustered around follicles.

While folliculitis is not usually serious, it can be persistent, uncomfortable, and difficult to manage with standard skincare products. Symptoms commonly include:

• Itching and burning around hair follicles
• Small red or white-headed pimples near follicles
• Skin tenderness or soreness
• Clusters of inflamed bumps on the back, chest, or limbs
• Recurring flare-ups that standard body washes fail to address

Folliculitis is often triggered by shaving, tight clothing, sweat, occlusive skincare products, or exposure to contaminated water (hot tub folliculitis). People with oily skin, compromised immune systems, or those who shave frequently are at higher risk.

How a Targeted Body Wash Can Help

Standard body washes are formulated for general cleansing and are not designed to address the specific needs of folliculitis-prone skin. A targeted formula works by deeply cleansing the follicle opening, reducing surface bacteria and fungi, and supporting a balanced skin environment — without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Key Active Ingredients

• Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) – Clinically studied for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Widely used in dermatology for acne, folliculitis, and fungal skin conditions.
• Lemongrass Extract – A natural astringent with antifungal properties that helps tone and calm irritated skin.
• Cedarwood Oil – Supports skin balance and provides a grounding, natural scent from the formula itself — not synthetic fragrance.
• Sulfur Complex – A time-tested dermatological ingredient known for its keratolytic and antibacterial properties. Helps loosen and remove dead skin cells that can clog follicles.

Formula Standards

• pH Balanced – formulated to support the skin’s natural acid mantle
• Sulfate Free – gentle on sensitive and reactive skin
• Paraben Free – no synthetic preservatives
• Color Safe
• No Artificial Fragrance – scent derived entirely from active botanical ingredients

How to Use

Apply to wet skin and massage gently over affected areas including chest, back, shoulders, and other body regions prone to bumps or irritation. Leave on for 30–60 seconds before rinsing thoroughly.

Use daily or as part of your regular body cleansing routine.
