Ichthyol Balm, 30 g - Farmakom

What FARMAKOM Ichthyol Balm is

FARMAKOM Ichthyol Balm 30 g is a targeted cosmetic balm for small areas of rough, flaky or visibly stressed skin. People usually choose ichthyol balm when they want a dense, protective texture for local application rather than a light face or body cream. It is especially suited to spots that need a softer feel and a more even-looking surface.

Key components

The key active in this Farmakom cosmetic balm is 10% sodium shale oil sulfonate, also known as ichthyol salt. Its composition is straightforward and purposeful:

• Sodium shale oil sulfonate (ichthyol salt), 10% — an ingredient with a long history of topical use in skin-focused products. In plain terms, it helps keep problem zones hygienically clean and can make the area look calmer and more maintained.
• Petrolatum base — forms a light occlusive film on the skin, which reduces moisture loss and helps dry, hardened patches become softer over time.

When and where to use it

What makes this formula practical is its spot-use format. Instead of applying an active product widely, you can use FARMAKOM Ichthyol Balm exactly where the skin feels uneven, tight or prone to flaking. The balm spreads in a thin layer, stays in place well, and is often more convenient in the evening because of its rich, protective texture. It may suit people who want focused skin care for:

• Elbows
• Knuckles
• Other small target areas that need extra shielding from dryness

Important notes

Although this is a cosmetic product rather than a medicinal ointment, it is worth using it with a little care:

• If your skin is very reactive, or if you plan to use it on delicate areas, start with a small patch test first.
• Avoid eyes, lips, mucous membranes and open skin damage.
• Stop use if irritation appears.
