This ointment is a barrier preparation of Zinc and Castor oil. This is an emollient to soothe and moisturize the skin.It is also protective with mild astringent properties. It is composed of zinc oxide, virgin castor oil, cetostearyl alcohol, white beeswax and arachis (peanut) oil. This preparation is much easier to apply and a useful alternative to zinc ointment.
Apply sparingly as required to the affected areas. For eczema and dermatitis, the areas should be washed with a soap alternative and patted dry. It should then be applied as soon as possible before the skin dries, and as required during the day. For nappy rash, a soap alternative should also be used and the ointment applied similarly (together with anti-fungal agent where indicated). The ointment should then be reapplied following each nappy change. Parents should be encouraged not to use nappies where possible until the rash settles. In vulvovaginitis and perianal symptoms, the ointment should be applied about three times daily after a wash, in a thin layer to protect the skin from moisture.
