Ingredients

Savlon Antiseptic Cream contains active antiseptic ingredients such as cetrimide and chlorhexidine digluconate, which work together to help prevent infection. These ingredients in Savlon Antiseptic Cream help eliminate bacteria on the skin’s surface.

Savlon Antiseptic Cream also contains additional excipients that give it a smooth, easily spreadable consistency. Always check the packaging of Savlon Antiseptic Cream for a full list of ingredients, especially if you have known sensitivities.
