How manu cfu in the 4oz package?

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your question about our Eliderm Probiotic Skin Cream. Over 13 Million CFU per 4oz jar with the higher CFU from Bacillus Subtilis. Bacillus Subtilis Bifidobacterium Bifidum Bifidobacterium Breve Bifidobacterium Infantis Bifidobacterium Lactis Bifidobacterium Longum Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactobacillus Casei Lactococcus Lactis Lactobacillus Plantarum Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Lactobacillus Salivarius Streptococcus Thermophilus The same amount is in the 2oz spray making it more concentrated with probiotics per each spray. No essential oils are used for our probiotic products as some may affect the effectiveness of the topical probiotics. Recommended to use them separately.

Will this cream kill bird mites on hu,mans?

Thank you for your question. Eliderm is for dealing with fungal / bacterial issues infecting the skin as well as restoring the acid mantle and skin flora to maintain healthy skin but our Ketozonil cream will kill bird mites on humans: https://www.amazon.com/Extra-Strength-Antifungal-Ointments-Cream/dp/B07JV9QYKV/ - If the skin is damaged from scratching / itching we recommend disinfecting and restoring the skin flora with Eliderm.

How should product be applied to scalp for seborrheic dermatitis should the hair be wet or dry when applying ? thank you

I've tried several of these probiotic treatments for both scalp and other key eczematous dermatitis sites. After trials of two to four months, I was unable to detect any effect whatsoever with probiotic creams, lotions, shampoos or conditioners, although I did experience apparently brief initial positive responses with one or two of the preparations, which almost always indicates a placebo response only. Maybe there's a subset of responders to probiotics, but my case is fairly mild. I have, however, responded reasonable well using hypochlorous sprays, such as the very overpriced Skin Smart Eczema Therapy, which sterilizes the skin where sprayed, with no side effects or known risks.

What happens to the probiotics when this is shipped in 100 degree tempertures?

Eliderm Probiotic Skin Cream and Eliderm Probiotic Spray are maintained in low-humidity Amazon warehouses to maintain the shelf life of the probiotics. The concern is that the effectiveness of the probiotic activity is lost during higher temperatures during the summertime. The jar and color tint we use help shield against light (probiotics are sensitive to light especially UV light) and humidity. In addition the packaging in which the product is shipped provides an additional layer of protection for the probiotic activity. Generally the probiotics can start to lose activity beyond 41C (105 F) and the best range to keep the strains is between 23C - 29C (74F - 84F) or refridgerated in a low humidity environment. In areas of high temperatures / high humidity during the summer months the 13 strains in this formula should maintain effectiveness and even growth BUT it will depend on the strain (see below). If you have concerns we recommend express shipping or ordering the probiotic cream or probiotic spray for arrival on a cooler day or with additional products so that it is shipped in a cardboard box (more protective against higher temperatures). Bacillus Subtilis optimal growth is at 37C / 100F Bifidobacterium strains optimal growth is between 36C - 38C (96.8F - 100.4F) Bifidobacterium Bifidum Bifidobacterium Breve Bifidobacterium Infantis Bifidobacterium Lactis / B Lactis Bifidobacterium Longum / B Longum Lactobacillus strains optimal growth is between 30C - 40C (86F - 104F) Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactobacillus Casei / L Casei Lactobacillus Plantarum Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Lactobacillus Salivarius Lactococcus Lactis (sensitive at 40C and also salt sensitive) Streptococcus Thermophilus (optimal growth at 40C (104F) - 45C (113F) max 50C (122F)) In summary, Eliderm probiotic products should general maintain effectiveness even during higher temperatures less than 100F. Hope this helps and thank you for your inquiry.
