Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What are ointments?

Q: What is the difference between ointments and creams?
A: Ointments are oil-based and have a greasier consistency, providing a longer-lasting barrier on the skin. Creams are water-based and absorb more quickly, making them ideal for less intensive moisturizing needs.

Q: Can ointments be used daily?
A: Many ointments, such as those used for moisturizing or skin protection, are safe for daily use. Follow product instructions or consult a healthcare provider for medicated options.
Q: Do ointments expire?
