Rawleigh's Antiseptic Salve
140g tin - yellow
Active ingredients: colophony (13.7%) and cresol (1%)
Other ingredients: paraffin and gum resin
Rawleigh's Antiseptic Salve is a drawing ointment so is excellent for encouraging material to the surface and extracting dirt painlessly from cuts and abrasions. It soothes hands that are cracked and damaged or feet that are swollen and sore.
As a gardener, I use it frequently, rubbing it into my cracked and worn hands when I go to bed. In the morning, they feel like new again, ready for another day's work.
When travelling, I always keep some in my first aid kit to apply to any minor wounds as it is so effective for preventing infections.
Warnings: In case of deep puncture wounds or serious burns, consult a physician. If redness, irritation, swelling or pain persists or increases, or an infection occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children.
