🎯 Why Choose Calmoseptine Ointment 113g?
Calmoseptine Ointment 113g combines zinc oxide and menthol in a protective ointment base. Zinc oxide acts as a skin protectant, while menthol provides external analgesic and anti-itch activity. The ointment creates a moisture barrier that helps protect irritated or vulnerable skin.
This makes Calmoseptine useful where skin is repeatedly exposed to moisture or other irritants, including during incontinence care and diaper changes. Its uses are not limited to diaper rash, which is why describing it simply as a “diaper rash ointment” does not fully represent the product.

- Urine or diarrhoea
- Perspiration and moisture
- Incontinence
