Indications

White Soft Paraffin + Liquid Paraffin is an emollient for general use. It helps relieve the symptoms of dry skin conditions.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

White Soft Paraffin and Liquid Paraffin are emollients that you apply to the skin, and they work by forming an occlusive layer. The active ingredients are not absorbed into the body to any significant degree, but they do penetrate well into the stratum corneum.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Nobody has established that White Soft Paraffin and Liquid Paraffin are safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, but using them during these periods isn't thought to be a hazard.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Spread a thin film of the White Soft Paraffin + Liquid Paraffin ointment over the affected skin, in the direction of hair growth, as often as needed. Ideally, apply it three or four times a day, and at least twice a day. Where a large area of the body is affected, adults may use up to 500 g a week. This ointment is for use on the skin only.
