physical insecticide — these silicone or fatty acid ester-based products kill the lice by physically coating their surfaces and suffocating them, so resistance is unlikely to develop

Wet combing or dimeticone 4% lotion is recommended 1st-line for pregnant or breastfeeding women, young children aged 6 months to 2 years, and people with asthma or eczema. A contact time of 8–12 hours (or overnight) is recommended for lotions and liquids.
Shampoos are generally not recommended because they are diluted too much and have an insufficient contact time to kill eggs.
