Where to buy

Oakhurst, the maker, sells it direct in single bottles and multi-packs. Independent pharmacies and online drugstores also stock it.

Professional insight

Pharmacists treat this as a concentrate first. The dilution line on the label matters most.

  • One 8 oz bottle makes up to a gallon diluted.
  • Newer bottles may look different with the same formula.
  • Ingredient lists vary between sellers; trust the bottle.
  • Concentrate should never be swallowed or used neat.
