DILIPAX LOTION

Menthol, Camphor, Zinc Oxide, and Phenol work synergistically in the lotion. Menthol activates cold receptors, providing a cooling sensation that reduces pain and itching. Camphor increases local blood flow, aiding in the relief of inflammation and pain. Zinc Oxide, known for its astringent properties, helps protect the skin and promote healing. Phenol, being a local anesthetic and antiseptic, numbs the area and prevents bacterial growth, further reducing discomfort and the risk of infection.
