Can this ointment be used for children, pregnant women or sensitive skin? — Go Cold Super Rub Herbal Balm, 25 g

The ointment's composition includes petroleum jelly, paraffin, camphor, eucalyptus, pine and nutmeg oils, and peppermint and ajowan extracts. These are strongly scented ingredients that do not suit everyone equally.

Children, pregnant and breastfeeding women. The product card gives no age restrictions and no data on use during pregnancy and breastfeeding — only a warning to keep the ointment out of the reach of children. So children, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use (a general precaution, not a manufacturer's instruction).

Sensitive skin. According to the label, the ointment is not to be used in case of hypersensitivity to the ingredients. Before first use you can apply a little ointment to a small area of skin (for example, the inside of the wrist) and wait a few hours — this is general practice, not a manufacturer's instruction. If redness, burning or itching appears, it is better not to use it; if an allergic reaction occurs, stop using it and see a doctor.

The ointment is for external use only: avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. It is not a medicinal product and does not replace medical care for illness.
