Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What are ointments?
A: Ointments are thick, oil-based topical treatments applied to the skin to protect, moisturize, or deliver medication. They are especially beneficial for dry, cracked, or damaged skin.
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: Are ointments good for wounds?
A: Yes, ointments like antibacterial or skin protectant formulations help keep wounds moist, protect against infection, and promote faster healing.
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?
A: Yes, like most medical products, ointments have expiration dates. Using expired ointments may reduce effectiveness or increase the risk of irritation.
Q: Where can I buy high-quality ointments?
A: Medicinal Supplies offers a curated collection of trusted ointment brands for wound care, skin protection, and infection prevention.
