Treats minor skin irritations, insect bites, sunburn, poison ivy/oak, and other rashes where both infection prevention and pain/itch relief are desired. May also be used for minor burns and abrasions.

Benzalkonium and chloroxylenol provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against bacteria and fungi on the skin surface. Pramoxine acts as a topical anesthetic, temporarily numbing the area to relieve pain and itching by blocking nerve signals in the skin.

For external use only. Avoid applying to large areas of broken skin, near eyes, or on mucous membranes. Do not use on deep wounds or animal bites. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or persist beyond 7 days. Allergic reactions are possible, especially in individuals sensitive to quaternary ammonium compounds.
