Camphor ointment 10% 25g – Tverskaya farmatsevticheskaya fabrika

Planeta Zdorovia Camphor Ointment 10% 25 g is a topical warming ointment chosen when a person wants a strong camphor sensation on the skin: first a slight cool note, then a noticeable warming effect and a sharp herbal aroma. Products of this type are often used for local rubbing after physical strain, for tired areas of the body, or simply when a warming texture feels pleasant in colder weather.

How camphor works on the skin

The main active is camphor 10%, a fragrant substance traditionally obtained from the camphor tree. On the skin, camphor acts as a counter-irritant: it stimulates surface nerve endings, so the brain pays attention to the warming and cooling signals from the skin rather than to the original sensation in that area. This is why camphor ointments are known for their distinctly active feel. The effect is sensory and local, not medicinal.

The base and its role

The base ingredients shape how the ointment behaves:

• Petrolatum and paraffin create a dense ointment that spreads slowly, stays in place well and forms a protective film on the surface, helping the camphor remain on the applied area for longer instead of disappearing too quickly.
• Anhydrous lanolin gives the formula a softer, more emollient feel, which many people prefer for massage-style application to elbows, knees, shoulders or the lower back.

Who it suits and how to use it

This cosmetic ointment may suit adults who like classic warming balms and want a simple camphor formula without a long list of extras. It fits best as an occasional topical product rather than something for all-over use. Apply only to intact skin and keep the amount modest, because 10% camphor feels quite strong.

Important notes and cautions

• This is for external use only.
• Do not use on broken, irritated or freshly damaged skin, and avoid the eye area and mucous membranes.
• Because it contains lanolin, it may not suit people with wool or lanolin sensitivity.
• Camphor should not be applied near the face or nose of infants or small children.
• If your skin is reactive, test a very small area first and wash hands well after application.
