About Cocois Ointment

Cocois Ointment is a medicated scalp treatment containing a combination of coal tar solution 12% w/w, salicylic acid 2% w/w, and sulphur 4% w/w. It is specially formulated to manage dry, scaly scalp conditions by softening thickened skin, reducing scaling, and relieving irritation and itching.
