Ichthyol Balm, 30 g - Farmakom

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.

The key active in this Farmakom cosmetic balm is 10% sodium shale oil sulfonate, also known as ichthyol salt. This ingredient has 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. The petrolatum base plays an important role too: it forms a light occlusive film on the skin, which reduces moisture loss and helps dry, hardened patches become softer over time.

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. This kind of product may suit people who want focused skin care for elbows, knuckles, or other small target areas that need extra shielding from dryness.

Although this is a cosmetic product rather than a medicinal ointment, its composition is straightforward and purposeful: a classic occlusive base plus ichthyol salt for local skin maintenance. 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, and stop use if irritation appears.
