Cocois Ointment - 40g

Cocois® Ointment 40g is a medicated scalp ointment used to help manage psoriasis of the scalp, severe dandruff, and other dry, scaly scalp conditions. It works by softening, loosening and helping to remove thickened scales, while soothing the underlying skin.

Cocois® contains a combination of coal tar, salicylic acid and sulphur, which together help to:

• Reduce excessive scaling and flaking
• Break down hardened skin and scales
• Relieve itching and discomfort
• Support healthier scalp skin

The ointment base helps keep the scalp moisturised while the active ingredients work. Cocois® is commonly recommended as part of a scalp psoriasis or dandruff treatment routine, often prior to washing with a suitable medicated shampoo.
