Cetraben Ointment

About Cetraben Ointment

Cetraben Ointment is a rich, paraffin-based emollient designed to protect and deeply moisturise very dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. It forms a long-lasting protective barrier that helps lock in moisture, soften skin, and prevent further dryness or irritation.

Cetraben Ointment is ideal for managing chronic dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Its thick, water-free formula is especially suitable for severely dry, cracked, or damaged skin that needs intensive hydration and protection.
