How to Use
Topical use: Apply a thin layer to the affected skin area as needed. For best results, apply after bathing to lock in moisture. Avoid contact with eyes.

Always read the product label and directions before use.
Who It’s For

Caution & Storage
Keep out of reach of children. Do not ingest unless the product is specifically intended and labelled for oral use; follow all packaging directions. Avoid inhalation or aspiration — mineral oil aspiration can cause serious lung injury (lipoid pneumonia), especially in small children and people with swallowing difficulties.
Do not use on deep or puncture wounds, animal bites or serious burns without medical advice. If irritation or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and below 25–30°C. Dispose of empty containers responsibly.
