boric acid + white soft paraffin

Boric acid + white soft paraffin is a topical antiseptic ointment developed and manufactured by NI-THE Pharmaceuticals. The formulation combines boric acid, which exerts mild antibacterial and antifungal effects, with white soft paraffin (petrolatum), which serves as an occlusive emollient base. The paraffin component creates a physical barrier on the skin's surface, promoting hydration and protecting minor wounds or irritations from environmental factors, while the boric acid helps prevent or treat minor dermatological infections. It is typically used for localized skin conditions requiring both protection and mild disinfection.
