OMI Brotherhood Menturm anti-inflammatory cream 15g

OMI Brotherhood Menturm 15g is a classic Japanese medicated ointment (メンターム) from Omi Brotherhood. It is a pocket-sized, all-purpose skin balm that has been a household favourite in Japan for generations. Its petrolatum base forms a protective layer on the skin, while camphor, menthol and eucalyptus oil give a cooling, soothing feel. It is used for minor skin troubles such as rough skin, razor burn, insect bites, small scrapes, minor burns and bruises. It is a handy everyday ointment to keep at home, in your bag or while travelling anywhere in Bangladesh.

Key Ingredients & How It Works

• dl-Camphor (9.6%): Gives a cooling, soothing effect that helps ease itching and minor pain.
• l-Menthol (1.35%): Gives a refreshing cooling feel that helps relieve itching.
• Eucalyptus Oil (1.3%): Adds a fresh scent and supports the cooling, soothing effect.
• White & Yellow Petrolatum: The ointment base that covers and protects the skin and helps keep it from drying out.

Who It's For & Uses

• For adults and children (children should use it only under adult supervision).
• Used for rough or chapped skin and razor burn after shaving.
• Used for insect and mosquito bites, which are common in Bangladesh.
• Used for minor scrapes, minor burns and bruises.
• Note: This is a Japanese over-the-counter medicated ointment (Class 3 OTC drug in Japan), not a moisturiser or skincare cream for daily facial use.

How to Use

1. Clean the area: Gently wash and dry the skin you want to treat.
2. Take a small amount: Squeeze a little ointment onto your fingertip.
3. Apply: Spread it thinly over the affected area, or rub it in well.
4. Repeat as needed: Reapply when needed during the day.
5. Wash your hands: Wash your hands after use so you don't touch your eyes with ointment on your fingers.

Important Suggestions

• For external use only. Do not swallow.
• Keep it away from the eyes, lips and other sensitive areas. If it gets in your eyes, rinse right away with clean water and see a doctor if irritation is severe.
• Children should use it only with adult help. For babies and very young children, ask a doctor or pharmacist before use.
• Do not use it on deep wounds, serious burns or infected skin. See a doctor for these.
• Store it with the cap closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Bangladesh's hot weather can soften the ointment, so don't leave it in a hot car or in the sun. Keep out of reach of children.
• Stop using it and see a doctor if rash, redness, itching or swelling appears, or if the problem does not improve.
