The active ingredient in Hedrin 4% Lotion is dimethicone. Dimethicone is a silicone-based substance widely used for its effectiveness in treating head lice infestations. Dimethicone works by encasing lice and eggs, disrupting their ability to breathe and ultimately leading to paralysis and death. Dimethicone is considered safe and well-tolerated, making it a preferred choice for treating head lice across all age groups.
