FAQ

Is Fifty:50 Ointment suitable if I react to fragrances or preservatives?

Fifty:50 Ointment contains only liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin, and is free from fragrances, colourings, additives and preservatives. Don't use it if you're sensitive to either ingredient, and if your skin gets worse or reacts, stop using it and speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

Why does Fifty:50 Ointment carry a fire warning?

Fifty:50 Ointment is made entirely of paraffin. Clothing, bedding and bandages that have been in contact with paraffin-based emollients, or with skin treated with them, can catch fire easily. That's why you shouldn't smoke or go near naked flames while using Fifty:50 Ointment.

Directions

Ensure hands are clean before using Fifty:50 Ointment.

For use as an emollient: apply to dry skin areas as often as required and rub it in.

For use as a bath additive: dissolve in hot water. Care should be taken as the bath surface can become slippery. After bathing, gently pat the skin with a clean towel.

For use as a soap substitute or skin cleanser: use as required when washing or in the shower.

Warnings

Fire hazard: do not smoke or go near naked flames; clothing and bedding with this product dried on them can catch fire easily.
