I couldn't find that product at the manufacturer website, but their search engine leaves a lot to be desired.

Lime sulfur is chemical (calcium polysulfide). It's sold for a variety of uses including fungicide and insecticide. Check the ingredients listing. The actual concentration of the active ingredient varies widely with application.
