Ichthyol Pale (Sodium Shale Oil Sulfonate)
Ichthyol Pale is a purified, nature-derived active ingredient obtained from sulfur-rich shale oil. It is water-soluble and lighter in color compared to traditional ichthammol, with a milder scent, making it ideal for high-end dermatological and cosmetic formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is Ichthyol “Pale” the same as Coal Tar?
A: No. Although both are used for skin conditions, Ichthyol Pale is derived from oil shale, not coal. It is cleaner, less irritating, and does not stain or have a strong odor.
Q: Can it be used for acne under the chin?
A: Yes. Its anti-seborrheic properties help reduce oiliness, swelling, and redness in active acne lesions.
Q: What is the difference between “Pale” and “Dark” Ichthyol?
A: The “Pale” variant is more refined, lighter in color, and easier to wash off, with a milder scent. The “Dark” variant (Ichthammol) is typically used for boils and deep infections.
Q: How soon will dandruff improve?
A: Many users notice reduced itching and flaking within 2 weeks. For chronic conditions, maintenance use once or twice weekly is recommended.
Q: Does it interact with other skincare products?
A: Generally, it is compatible with most skincare products, but avoid combining with harsh alcohol-based toners or strong fragrances, as this may increase skin irritation.
