Do not use if

Hypersensitivity to any ingredient. Avoid use on acutely inflamed or broken skin. Not recommended around the eyes or on large areas of skin for prolonged periods.

Side effects

Skin irritation, dryness, or redness at the application site. Coal tar may cause photosensitivity; avoid sun exposure after use. Rare contact dermatitis or hair discoloration may occur.

Warnings

How it works

Cade oil (juniper tar) and coal tar are keratolytic and antipruritic agents. They slow down excessive skin cell turnover, reduce inflammation, and have antimicrobial properties. Their combined action helps normalize epidermal proliferation in conditions like dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Storage

Store at room temperature below 25°C, away from heat and direct sunlight.
