Company description

Sebum is a substance produced by the oil glands. An overproduction of this substance leads to the production of fatty acids. It also acts as a nidus for the production of bacteria that eventually leads to the development of acne.
Thickening and plugging of the hair follicle and sebaceous glands by keratin leads to occlusion and hence the development of acne.
