Directions

Hydromol Ointment 500g should be gently massaged into the skin as often as required. For use as a bath additive, first melt a small amount with hot water before adding to the bath.

  • For Skin Application: Massage into affected areas of skin as often as needed throughout the day.
  • As a Bath Additive: Melt a small amount (e.g., 1-2 teaspoonfuls for a child, 2-4 for an adult) in a cup of hot water, then add to the bath and mix well.

Important: When used as a bath additive, exercise caution as the ointment will make the surface of the bath slippery. Always clean the bath thoroughly after use to remove residue.
