Snowfire Ointment Stick - 18g

Snowfire Ointment Stick – 18 g is a solid emollient ointment designed to help soothe, moisturise and protect dry, cracked or chapped skin.

This handy 18 g portable stick is ideal to carry on-the-go, allowing targeted application to affected areas such as hands, elbows, heels and other dry patches. Snowfire is suitable for individuals prone to dry skin, chapped winter skin, cracked heels, chilblains, eczema and psoriasis-associated dryness, providing gentle relief and improved skin comfort.

Brand: Snowfire (often stocked by multiple UK pharmacy retailers)

Pack Size: 18 g stick

Product Type: Emollient skin ointment for dry and irritated skin

Ensure the skin area is clean and dry before application.

• Remove the cap and apply the stick directly to the affected skin, using gentle pressure and light strokes.

• Rub in the ointment using fingers if necessary to help it absorb; apply up to 3–4 times daily or as required for dryness, cracking or irritation.

• For harder skin areas or weather-affected skin, warming the stick slightly (e.g., by holding it in warm hands or warm water) can improve application in cold conditions.

• After application, covering with a moisture glove, sock or dressing can prolong contact time and boost hydration where appropriate. 

Core emollient and conditioning agents:

• Petrolatum – creates an occlusive barrier to lock in skin moisture and protect against external irritants.

• Paraffin – supports moisturisation and smoothness.

• Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil – skin conditioning agent from sunflower oil.

Natural essential oils and botanical components:

• Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil – natural oil with conditioning properties.

• Cymbopogon Nardus (Citronella) Oil – aromatic essential oil.

• Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Bud Oil – natural oil with soothing characteristics.

• Juniperus Oxycedrus (Cade Juniper) Wood Oil, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Oil and Styrax Tonkinensis (Benzoin) Resin Extract – additional botanical oils/extracts contributing to texture and aroma.

• CI 75810 (Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex) – natural colourant.

• Natural aroma and fragrance constituents such as Limonene, Citronellol, Eugenol, Geraniol, Linalool, Citral — naturally occurring in essential oils.
