Benzoic Acid & Salicylic Acid Ointment (Whitfield’s Ointment)
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of advanced dermatology, anti-infectives, and targeted topical therapeutics. We provide ultra-high-purity, kinetically balanced Benzoic Acid & Salicylic Acid FDC Ointment, manufactured in WHO–GMP certified, high-precision specialized topical facilities. This “Traditional Dual-Action Keratolytic & Antifungal” is a massive-volume strategic export to retail pharmacies, community health centers, and government health ministries, serving as the globally trusted intervention for chronic fungal infections (Tinea) and hyperkeratotic skin conditions.
Product Overview
This formulation operates as a “Mechanical and Chemical Debrider.” The ointment base provides an “occlusive effect,” trapping moisture to soften the skin (maceration), which allows the acids to penetrate much deeper than a lotion or cream.
Mechanism 1 (Keratolytic Desquamation – Salicylic Acid): Salicylic acid dissolves the “intercellular cement” (desmosomes) that holds the dead skin cells together. This physically causes the shedding of the thickened Stratum Corneum, removing the protective layer that fungi use to hide.
Mechanism 2 (Fungistatic Acidification – Benzoic Acid): Benzoic acid exerts a fungistatic effect by lowering the pH of the skin environment. This physically inhibits the growth and metabolic functions of Dermatophytes, eventually leading to the death of the fungal colony.
Mechanism 3 (The Occlusive Barrier): The petrolatum-based ointment prevents water loss from the skin. This hydration softens the toughest fungal-infected plaques (like those on the heels), making them easier to remove.
