A staple in my first aid box and first port of call when any of us have a little scrape as it sooths the sting pretty much straight away !

I have used Savalon for many many years, from a young girl, to single woman, married lady & now a great grandmother, great grandmother, a sister x 2. It’s the first thing I say when myself or any member of our family hurt themselves or break their skin in say a cut or graze use the Savalon. We have one tube down stairs in our cupboard with plasters etc, & one tube upstairs in our bedroom. Mainly as I’m disabled & find the stairs painful & a hindrance. Savalon is very soothing, it cools the skin when the injury causes it to be warm or hot as in infection. Even cold sores. Any little cuts on your fingers because you use your fingers all the time Savalon is a must!
