Ingredients and Materials

Active ingredient: Benzyl benzoate (Application B.P.).

Inactive ingredients: Pharmaceutical vehicle (solvent and excipients) to ensure skin spreadability and stability. Packaged in a 100ml plastic/HDPE bottle with tamper-evident cap.

This formulation is intended for external topical use only. Contains benzyl benzoate as the active antiparasitic agent used in the management of scabies and selected lice treatments.

How to Use

Important: Follow directions from your healthcare professional or the product leaflet. General guidance below is for adult use only and may vary by region.

  1. Shake bottle and apply sufficient solution to cover the affected skin. For scabies: apply from the neck down to the feet, ensuring all skin folds are treated. For scalp lice: follow clinician instructions — benzyl benzoate is not the first-line lice treatment in all regions.
  2. Leave the application on the skin for the time recommended by your healthcare professional (commonly overnight or about 24 hours for scabies), then wash off thoroughly. Avoid excessive use.
  3. Repeat application as directed by your clinician — many regimens recommend a second application after 7 days for scabies to eliminate newly hatched mites.
  4. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes. Wash hands after application.

Always read the leaflet and consult a pharmacist or doctor for precise dosing instructions specific to age, weight and medical history.

Who It’s For

Pharmachem Benzyl Benzoate Application B.P. 100ml is intended for adults and older children when recommended by a healthcare professional for the topical treatment of scabies and, in some clinical contexts, lice. It may be suitable for households dealing with parasitic skin infestations as part of a treatment plan.

Not suitable for neonates or where a clinician advises against benzyl benzoate. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should consult their doctor before use.
