Fagron Zinc Oxide Ointment 10% (100 GR)

Zinc oxide ointment 10%

Zinc oxide ointment 10% is suitable for irritated, rough and chafed skin. This greasy ointment has protective, slightly cooling, drying and itch-relieving properties. This makes it particularly suitable for the care and protection of the skin in cases of diaper rash, pressure sores, cold sores and cracked corners of the mouth.

The ointment has a minimal list of ingredients to prevent hypersensitivity reactions.

What does the added ingredient petrolatum provide?

The petrolatum in this ointment provides a higher fat content and covers the skin. This better protects the skin, reduces water loss and improves moisture retention. The added paraffin also makes it easier to apply.

Note: do not apply other creams or ointments to the skin at the same time as the ointment has just been applied. Wait until the product has completely absorbed before using another product.

Applications

Zinc oxide ointment 10% for weeping eczema

In cases of weeping eczema, the ointment can be applied due to its cooling and drying effect. Weeping eczema is characterized by moist, red and sometimes inflamed skin. Due to the action of zinc oxide, the skin dries faster and can heal better.

Zinc oxide ointment 10% for a cold sore

The ointment can soothe a cold sore. Thanks to its slightly drying effect, discomforts such as itching and pain can be relieved. Use the ointment as long as the cold sore is present.

Usage

Apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected skin several times a day. Use the ointment as often as necessary and for as long as the symptoms persist.

Advice
