Licener
Licener is a brand that focuses specifically on the treatment and prevention of head lice, using a physical rather than a chemical approach. Instead of pesticide-based ingredients, the products work by coating and suffocating lice and their eggs, which reduces the risk of resistance. The range on this page includes the Licener Anti-Louse Shampoo, suitable for use on the whole family, including children.
How does an anti-lice shampoo work
An anti-lice shampoo is designed to remove head lice and nits (their eggs) from the hair and scalp. Physical formulas work by coating the lice in a silicone or oil-based layer that blocks their breathing, causing them to die without relying on neurotoxic pesticides. This makes them a useful option for people who want to avoid harsher chemical treatments, or who deal with lice that no longer respond well to them. Most products need to stay on the hair for a set amount of time before rinsing, so it is important to follow the instructions on the packaging closely. After treatment, combing the hair with a fine-toothed nit comb helps remove any remaining eggs or dead lice. Because lice spread easily through close contact, it is often recommended to check and treat other household members at the same time. A second treatment after about a week is commonly advised to catch any lice that hatched after the first application.
