How to Use
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and gently massage until spread evenly. For very dry areas, apply a thicker layer and use overnight under cotton gloves or socks as an occlusive treatment. When used as part of wound care, follow clinical guidance — apply a thin layer to the dressing surface. Do not heat or melt the product; use at room temperature only.
Who It’s For
Suitable for adults and children (external use) who experience dry, rough, or cracked skin. Commonly used by people with dry skin conditions, carers, healthcare professionals and anyone needing a reliable skin barrier emollient. Ideal for daily bodycare and clinical applications where a pharmaceutical-grade occlusive is required.
Caution & Storage
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not apply to deep or puncture wounds, infected skin, or severe burns without professional advice. Keep out of reach of children. Use with caution in infants — avoid applying large quantities near the mouth to reduce aspiration risk. Flammable: keep away from open flames and heat sources. Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place and keep the container tightly closed when not in use. If irritation or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
