Quick Tips for Germolene

• Cooling Effect: The phenol in Germolene provides a distinct cooling sensation that is particularly helpful for stings and minor burns.
• Clean Hands: Always wash your hands before and after application to prevent cross-contamination.
• Travel Size: The 30g tube is the perfect size for first-aid kits, hiking packs, or travel bags.
• Don't Over-apply: A thin layer is sufficient; the skin needs to breathe to heal effectively.

Contraindications of Germolene

• Severe Injuries: Do NOT use on deep wounds, large areas of broken skin, or serious burns.
• Allergies: Avoid use if you have a known hypersensitivity to Phenol, Chlorhexidine, or any of the inactive ingredients (like Lanolin).
• Eyes and Ears: For external use only; do not apply near the eyes, mouth, or inside the ears.
