Hydrophobic, non-washable, difficult to spread, active substance-free paste of the type hydrocarbon gel (2-phase paste) for external application. To protect the skin and bind secretions in acute, sub-acute and chronic (e.g. ulcus cruris) dermatoses, apply to the affected skin areas once a day and cover with gauze. Cleanse with olive oil. The paste is hardly suitable for the incorporation of active ingredients because of poor release. Chemical (zinc oxide / wheat starch) incompatibilities exist with clioquinol, salicylic acid, dithranol, tannin, glucocorticoids.

Usage period: 3 years
