How to Use
Topical use (skin): Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin 1–3 times daily or as needed. For best results, apply immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. Use on cracked heels, dry hands, elbows and other dry areas. Avoid contact with eyes.

Who It’s For
Suitable for adults and older children seeking relief from dry, rough or cracked skin. Helpful for people with chronic dry skin conditions as an adjunct emollient. May be used as a short-term stool softener for adults under medical or label guidance. Not recommended for infants’ oral use due to aspiration risk—consult a paediatrician.
Caution & Storage
Caution: For external use unless product labelling authorises oral use. Risk of aspiration and lipoid pneumonia if swallowed and inhaled—use oral doses only under medical supervision.
