Dermacool Menthol Aqueous Cream 1% 500g delivers cooling relief for dry, irritated and itchy skin, commonly linked to conditions such as dermatitis, insect bites, prickly heat, sunburn, and hives. Unlike common aqueous creams, this formulation does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a known skin irritant, and instead uses Ceteareth-20, offering a safer alternative.

This unique cream brings together the potent properties of menthol, known to activate specific skin receptors for a cooling effect, often reported to alleviate itching sensations. Coupled with the SLS-free aqueous cream base, Dermacool helps maintain the skin's natural moisture levels, shielding it from dryness and itching.
