Melem is an all-purpose skin and lip balm that can provide relief for many skin irritations. The product, produced in Croatia, is not a messy lotion but rather a pleasant cream, which does not stain clothing if used as instructed and it has an attractive, clean smell. It fits easily in a purse, pocket or diaper bag. Melem's consistency is similar to a lip balm, but it can be applied to both skin and lips. It is not greasy if applied in small amounts in a thin layer. One container of Melem can last a long time.

Ingredients
Melem's natural ingredients include lanolin, castor oil, and beeswax in petrolatum base. It does not contain preservatives, silicone, corticosteroids, antibiotics, antihistamines, ultraviolet or SPF protection. Other ingredients include liquid paraffin, glyceryl staerate, staeric acid, fragrance and alpha-isomethyl ionone.

Application
Topical use only. 100% active compound. Apply in small amounts and in thin layers. For increased effectiveness, apply Melem 2-3 times a day or more.
