Cocois 100g Coconut oil (now as Sebco Ointment)

Sebco Ointment 100g - Coconut Oil Scalp Treatment

You can use Sebco Ointment to treat scaling and crusting conditions of your scalp. This ointment contains coconut oil as its active ingredient, which helps to soften and remove scales from affected areas. The product was previously known as Cocois and has been reformulated to provide the same therapeutic benefits for scalp conditions.

Your scalp condition may benefit from the moisturising properties of coconut oil, which can help reduce the appearance of flaking and scaling. This treatment is particularly suitable for conditions where scale removal is needed to improve the health and appearance of your scalp.

How Coconut Oil Works on Your Scalp

The coconut oil in this ointment works by penetrating the scales on your scalp and softening them, making removal easier. This process helps to reduce the buildup of dead skin cells that can cause discomfort and visible flaking.

When you apply the ointment, the coconut oil creates a protective barrier on your scalp whilst working to break down stubborn scales. This dual action helps to improve the overall condition of your scalp over time with regular use. You may find this treatment works well alongside other skin care products as part of your routine.

Who Can Benefit from This Scalp Treatment

This sebco ointment is suitable for adults and children who experience scaling conditions of the scalp. You may find it particularly helpful if you have persistent flaking or crusting that doesn't respond well to regular shampoos.

The treatment is appropriate for various scalp conditions that involve scaling, including:

• Seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp
• Psoriasis affecting the scalp area
• Persistent dandruff with thick scales
• Cradle cap in infants when recommended by a healthcare professional

Why Choose a Coconut Oil Based Treatment

Coconut oil has natural moisturising properties that make it effective for treating dry, scaly skin conditions. Unlike some harsher treatments, coconut oil is generally well-tolerated and less likely to cause irritation on sensitive scalp skin.

The ointment base ensures the coconut oil stays in contact with your scalp for longer periods, allowing it to work more effectively than lighter formulations. This sustained contact time is important for breaking down stubborn scales and providing lasting relief from scaling conditions.

Storage and Clinical Suitability

You should store this ointment at room temperature and keep it away from direct heat or sunlight. The coconut oil base may become softer in warm conditions, but this doesn't affect its effectiveness.

This treatment is clinically suitable for long-term use when needed, though you should consult your pharmacist or doctor if your condition doesn't improve after several weeks of regular application. The gentle nature of coconut oil makes it appropriate for ongoing management of chronic scalp conditions.
