CLOARK – Clotrimazole 1% Dusting Powder by Edlark Dermacare

CLOARK, the antifungal dusting powder from Edlark Dermacare, contains Clotrimazole 1%, a powerful broad-spectrum antifungal agent trusted by dermatologists worldwide. It offers rapid relief from fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and candidiasis. With its superior sweat-absorbing and antifungal action, CLOARK ensures dryness, protection, and comfort in skin folds, feet, underarms, and groin regions — areas prone to fungal overgrowth due to heat, moisture, and friction.

India’s humid climate makes fungal infections a year-round concern. In this setting, CLOARK Dusting Powder emerges as a must-have daily antifungal solution for both treatment and prevention.

What is Clotrimazole 1%?

Clotrimazole is an imidazole-class antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Disruption of ergosterol synthesis damages the fungal cell wall, leading to leakage of cellular contents and eventual cell death.

At a concentration of 1%, Clotrimazole is effective against:

• Dermatophytes (T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes)

• Yeasts (Candida albicans)

• Moulds and Other fungi

When used in dusting powder form, it not only eliminates fungal organisms but also:

• Absorbs excess moisture

• Prevents chafing

• Provides soothing relief from itching and irritation
