Product overview
Oirax DX Ointment is a Designated Class 2 OTC Drug manufactured and sold by Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare.

Additionally, "Tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E)" supports recovery by improving blood flow, "Isopropyl methylphenol" acts as a bactericide, and "Allantoin" helps repair skin tissue. This formula combines six active ingredients in one tube, designed for use by the whole family with no age restrictions (children should use under guardian supervision). It uses an oil-based base suitable for a wide range of conditions from weeping to dry skin.

The bactericidal action of "Isopropyl methylphenol," the skin tissue repair promotion by "Allantoin," and the blood flow improvement by "Tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E)" provide comprehensive support for recovery.

📖 Brand Story
Oillux — A brand that has faced itching for over 60 years
The history of Oillux dates back to 1940s Spain. The active ingredient “crotamiton” was developed as a treatment for the skin infection “scabies,” which has troubled humanity since ancient times. Crotamiton was a groundbreaking ingredient at the time, selectively eliminating skin itchiness through a mechanism completely different from antihistamines.

Oillux DX Ointment — The answer to “heal faster and more completely”
The Oillux brand, which has addressed itching for over 60 years, developed the “Oillux DX Ointment” in 2019. While previous series focused mainly on “suppressing itching,” the DX ointment aims to combine five approaches in one: calming inflammation, suppressing itching, sterilizing, repairing skin, and improving blood flow. The combination of steroid ingredient (dexamethasone acetate) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory ingredient (glycyrrhetinic acid) provides a dual approach to inflammation, while crotamiton directly blocks itching. Additionally, with three ingredients for skin repair, sterilization, and blood flow improvement, this is the Oillux formula with the most ingredients ever, suitable for the whole family from babies to the elderly.
