or years, tea tree oil (TTO) has been the primary at-home option for managing Demodex mites1, the microscopic parasites linked to blepharitis, dry eye, and eyelid irritation. While effective, TTO has limitations—many people experience redness, dryness, or discomfort, making it difficult for long-term use.
Now, scientific advancements in eyelid hygiene offer an alternative: Zocular’s okra-based products.
Why Consider Okra
A clinical study with human subjects published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine2 compared okra extract to tea tree oil in Demodex management and found:
• As Effective as TTO: Okra extract reduces Demodex mites as well as tea tree oil.
• Better Tolerance: Participants reported less irritation and fewer side effects.
• Suitable for Daily Use: Unlike TTO, okra extract doesn’t cause excessive dryness, making it easier to incorporate into a routine.
How Zocular Products with Activated Okra Complex Work:
• Effective Against Demodex: Scientifically proven to reduce Demodex populations.
• Designed for Daily Use: No harsh side effects, making it an ideal addition to your lid hygiene routine.
• Optimized for Comfort: Formulated for sensitive skin and dry eye without sacrificing performance.
A Smarter Approach to Eyelid Health
