Balneol is for anyone, any time!

Balneol provides soothing relief to men and women, people with digestive issues, pregnant women, post-partum mothers, mature adults as well as kids. (Sorry Fido, you’ll have to get your own lotion.)

How is Balneol different from soap?

Unlike soap, Balneol cleansing lotion does not require water. You apply it with toilet paper, but do not rinse it off.

Because of its moisturizing qualities, Balneol will not dry out your skin like soaps can. It actually deposits a soothing and protective coating on the affected area, helping irritated skin heal.

Did you know…
Because Balneol^® is non-medicated, you can use it as often as you like. It’s also perfectly safe to flush down the toilet.

When using the bathroom, do I need to wipe before applying Balneol?

No, you do not need to wipe away fecal matter or discharge before using Balneol^® hygienic cleansing lotion. That’s what Balneol was designed to do!

To use: first squeeze out some Balneol lotion onto a clean piece of toilet paper. Next use the moistened toilet paper to wipe and clean the area.

Wiping with Balneol will be smooth and soothing, as it eliminates the tugging you may experience with dry toilet paper. After wiping it is unnecessary to rinse off with water, and no need to wipe away excessive lotion.

Why doesn’t Balneol make wipes?
Many very satisfied customers have written to us with recommendations, including turning Balneol^® into wipes. We have researched creating Balneol lotion wipes, but discovered two major concerns:

In order to create Balneol wipes, the formula would have to be watered down. We do not want to alter the integrity of the trusted Balneol formula.

Wipes often clog toilets and cause plumbing issues.

The great thing about using Balneol pocket-sized convenience lotion packets is that all you need is toilet paper! It’s easy to use as little or as much as you need.
Did you know…
You can safely flush toilet paper with Balneol^® on it down the toilet without the worry of clogging. No embarrassment when you’re using a restroom on-the-go.

Do I need to rinse Balneol off with water?

No. One of the reasons that Balneol^® is so useful is that you do not have to rinse it off with water. That’s why people find the travel packets handy in a pinch.

Imagine using a public restroom — you can’t exactly get up and walk to the sink, can you? Balneol cleansing lotion is your secret weapon for public bathrooms and going on-the-go.

Doctors have been recommending Balneol cleansing lotion as a hygienic solution to soothe and clean “down there” for more than 30 years because it effectively removes fecal matter without water.
