cortizone ointment

These products list hydrocortisone as the active ingredient. Most are 1% hydrocortisone; at least one product is formulated at 0.25%.

Both ointments and creams are offered. Ointments tend to be thick, emollient formulas in a petrolatum base, while creams are described as non-greasy and absorb quickly.

Common sizes shown include travel-friendly 1 oz tubes and 2 oz tubes; some listings show other sizes such as a 1.7 oz cream.

Labeling varies: several items are marked suitable for adults and children ages 2 and up, at least one product warns against use in children under age two, and general warnings advise keeping products out of reach of children.

Many listings promote travel-size packaging and first-aid kit suitability, noting 1 oz or travel tubes and describing them as convenient for backpacks, camping gear, or travel bags.

Several items are labeled fragrance-free and dye-free; at least one listing highlights hypoallergenic or 'no-fragrance-added' formulation for sensitive skin.
