Purol Salve is still a very well known product which can be rightly found in many homes. It is a problem solving ‘no nonsense’ product with a range of applications: dry skin, cracks, wounds, nappy rash… a little of this healing salve helps the skin regain its natural balance and feel comfortable again.
