Vamousse

Vamousse is a **pesticide-free, topical lice treatment** in the form of an aerosol foam or mousse, indicated for the **elimination of head lice and their eggs (nits)** in adults and children aged 2 years and older[1][2][5][7]. The **active ingredient is natrum muriaticum (sodium chloride)**, which works by **disrupting the protective lipid layer of the lice exoskeleton**, leading to dehydration and death of both adult lice and eggs, rather than utilizing neurotoxic pesticides[2][5][6][7][9][10]. The product shows efficacy against both regular and “super” lice, including pesticide-resistant strains[2][7]. Treatment involves saturating dry hair and scalp, leaving for 15 minutes, then combing to remove dead lice and nits. Effectiveness is achieved with a single application, but re-treatment is allowed if needed. Developed and marketed mainly by Alliance Pharma, Vamousse is sold as an over-the-counter OTC drug. The product is labeled as unapproved homeopathic in some jurisdictions[1]. Key inactive ingredients include isopropyl myristate, isopropyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, benzyl alcohol, ammonium benzoate, sodium lauryl sulfate, butyl lactate, vanillin, geraniol, and water[1][2][5].
