Who should avoid using this turpentine ointment? — TURPENTINE OINTMENT 25G (JAR) Yaroslavl FF

This ointment is not a good fit for everyone. Because it's a potent irritant, it's best avoided by people with sensitive skin, those who are prone to strong skin reactions, or anyone who has had a bad experience with heating balms. Children should not use it without professional advice.

It's also not meant for large body surfaces — only small, targeted areas. Avoid using it on freshly shaved skin, broken skin, or any area where the skin is already irritated. If you have a chronic skin condition, it's wise to test on a small patch first and stop if there's any adverse reaction.

As a general precaution, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, or if you have a chronic condition, consult a specialist before using this product. It is a cosmetic warming ointment, not a medicine, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease.
