Product Overview

Lennon Sterksalf (25g) is a traditional South African "Dutch Remedy" (Huisaptheek) that has been used for decades as a topical treatment for various skin ailments. The name "Sterksalf" translates from Afrikaans to "Strong Ointment," reflecting its reputation as a potent, multi-purpose antiseptic and drawing salve. It is a heritage product known for its distinctive dark color and traditional medicinal scent.

What the Product Is Used For

  • Septic Sores & Ulcers: Traditionally applied to minor skin infections to help clean the wound.
  • Boils & Whitlows: Acts as a "drawing" salve to help bring boils to a head and facilitate drainage.
  • Minor Cuts & Abrasions: Provides an antiseptic barrier to protect small wounds from environmental bacteria.
  • Veld Sores: Often used in rural or farming communities to treat persistent skin sores caused by insect bites or scratches.
  • Skin Eruptions: Applied to localized areas of skin irritation where a strong antiseptic effect is needed.

Key Benefits

  • Time-Tested Formula: A staple in South African medicine cabinets for generations, trusted for its reliability.
  • Antiseptic Protection: Helps prevent the spread of localized skin infections.
  • Drawing Action: Particularly effective at drawing out impurities from deeper skin layers.
  • Value for Money: A small 25g tin lasts for many applications as only a thin layer is required.
  • Heritage Brand: Manufactured by Lennon (part of the Aspen Pharmacare group), a hallmark of traditional South African pharmaceuticals.

Active Ingredients

The formulation of Sterksalf relies on traditional antiseptic and protective agents. While exact concentrations may vary by batch, the core components typically include:

  • Phenol: Acts as a potent antiseptic and mild local anesthetic to soothe pain.
  • Resin: Provides the "drawing" properties and helps the ointment adhere to the skin.
  • Colophony: A natural resin that assists in the sticky, protective nature of the salve.
  • Paraffin/Lanolin Base: Creates a thick, occlusive barrier to keep the wound moist and protected.

Quantity / Size

  • Pack size: 25 g.
  • Format: Thick, dark ointment in a small metal or plastic tub.
  • Product Main Barcode: 6001087358249 (Common for Lennon 25g range).
  • Scheduling: S0 (Over-the-counter health product in SA).

Usage Instructions

  • Application: Wash the affected area thoroughly with warm water and soap. Apply a thin layer of Sterksalf directly to the site.
  • Dressing: For boils or septic sores, cover the area with a clean bandage or lint to protect your clothing (the ointment can stain fabrics).
  • Frequency: Re-apply 2 to 3 times daily or as needed until the condition improves.

Warnings / Safety Information

  • External Use Only: Do NOT ingest. If swallowed, contact a healthcare professional immediately.
  • Staining: The dark color of the ointment can permanently stain clothing, bedding, and bandages.
  • Skin Sensitivity: Because it contains Phenol, it may cause irritation on very sensitive skin. Perform a patch test before wide application.
  • Large Areas: Do not apply to large sections of the body or to deep, cavernous wounds.
  • Pregnancy/Lactation: Consult a doctor before use.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly to prevent the ointment from drying out or leaking. Keep out of reach of children.
