Boroline - The best Ayurvedic Antiseptic Cream since 1929
A must have of every home around the world
Boroline is a classic Indian antiseptic cream, widely known for its distinctive green packaging and multi-purpose use. First introduced in 1929 by Gourmohan Dutta in Kolkata, Boroline quickly gained popularity due to its effectiveness in healing dry skin, chapped lips, cuts, wounds, and other minor skin ailments. Apart from healing cuts and wounds, Boroline is often used as a night cream, lip balm, and on cracked heels, making it a household staple in many Indian families. Known for its rich, greasy texture and a unique fragrance, Boroline is ideal for very dry skin, especially during winter.
Boroline has maintained its legacy through its minimal marketing and consistent packaging, which has become iconic. Even in a market full of modern alternatives, it has remained popular for nearly a century.
Boroline is known for its versatility and can be used in various ways due to its antiseptic, moisturizing, and soothing properties. Here are some common uses:
1. Healing Dry, Chapped Skin
• Application: Apply a small amount on dry or chapped areas like elbows, knees, or hands. It's particularly effective on chapped lips and cracked heels.
• Benefit: Its lanolin content provides deep moisture, helping to soften and repair skin.
2. As a Night Cream
• Application: A thin layer can be applied to the face before bedtime for overnight hydration.
• Benefit: Softens skin overnight, helping to reduce dryness, especially in winter.
3. Treating Cuts, Wounds, and Burns
• Application: Apply a small amount on minor cuts, burns, or wounds after cleaning the area.
• Benefit: Boric acid in Boroline acts as an antiseptic, preventing infections, while zinc oxide soothes and protects the skin.
4. Lip Balm
• Application: Dab a small amount on the lips to soothe and repair chapped lips.
• Benefit: It provides intense hydration, preventing cracks and making lips soft and supple.
5. Relieving Itchiness and Rashes
• Application: Apply to areas affected by minor rashes or insect bites.
• Benefit: The antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties can help calm irritation and itching.
6. Cracked Heels Treatment
• Application: Massage into cracked heels at night and cover with socks for best results.
• Benefit: It deeply moisturizes and repairs skin, often providing visible results overnight.
7. As an Eye Cream for Dark Circles (Traditional Use)
• Application: Apply a tiny amount under the eyes before sleeping.
• Benefit: Though not medically proven, some users report that Boroline's thick texture and moisturizing effect can soften the appearance of dark circles.
8. Aftercare for Piercings
• Application: Apply gently around the pierced area.
• Benefit: Helps to soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and speed up the healing process.
Note: Due to its thick, greasy texture, it’s best to use Boroline sparingly, especially on oily or acne-prone skin.
Boroline Composition: Boroline contains boric acid (for antiseptic properties), zinc oxide (for its astringent action and soothing effect), and lanolin (a natural moisturizer derived from sheep's wool). These ingredients work together to protect, heal, and soften skin.
