Overview
What is Cocois Ointment?
Cocois Ointment is a topical treatment for dry scalp conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It contains coal tar, salicylic acid and sulfur. These ingredients work together to reduce irritation, itching and scaling of the scalp.
Cocois ointment is available without a prescription. However, it should be used carefully to achieve the best results.
How does Cocois Ointment work?
Cocois Ointment combines 3 key ingredients coal tar, salicylic acid, and sulfur to help treat irritation, itching, and inflammation caused by psoriasis, eczema and dandruff. Coal tar slows down excessive skin cell growth, reducing scaling of the skin and thickened patches.
Salicylic acid helps remove dead skin cells, making it easier for healthy skin to regenerate. Sulfur has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help reduce irritation and inflammation.
