Dermanol
For cuts, wounds & itching Dermanol is the cream useful to soothe all abrasions, small wounds and insect bites.

It both calms and cleanses the skin. Ideal for horses legs in winter (use with Skratch). Also effective for itching skin in summer.

First designed as a human skin cream the effect of Dermanol has to be seen to be believed. An Absolutely vital part of your first aid kit. It is an improved form of the old HIMAX D (which is still available and used in special situations) and presented in a easy to use water based cream form.

Try using between your own toes for 'athlete' type problems and on rough skin if you are prone to common skin complaints. You can also use Dermanol on your dog but not on cats.

PRESENTATION: Dermanol comes in 25g tubes or 200g pots.

DIRECTIONS: These ointments should be used sparingly and tested on small areas of skin first. They can be used once or twice a day. For larger/serious cuts see your vet and make sure you have tetanus cover.

CONTENTS: Cedrus deodara, Pinus griffithi, beeswax Costs: £12.50 / 200g pot
