Cosalic Ointment is a coal tar and salicylic acid ointment for targeted care of thick, rough and scaly patches. Salicylic acid helps loosen and soften built-up scale, and coal tar is a long-established skin-care ingredient for thickened skin. Together they help these areas look smoother and feel more comfortable. Apply it only to the areas that need it.
Why choose Cosalic Ointment?
Ordinary moisturisers sit on top of scaly skin and do little to the build-up underneath. Cosalic pairs a keratolytic (salicylic acid), which helps shed dead surface cells, with coal tar in an ointment base. That makes it a focused option for stubborn patches rather than an everyday body cream. It is made by Salve Pharmaceuticals, the company behind the Parasoft range.
How the two ingredients work together
- Salicylic acid softens scale - It loosens the bonds between dead skin cells so built-up flakes lift away more easily, which is why salicylic acid ointment for scaly skin is a common search for rough, thickened areas.
- Coal tar is a long-standing skin-care ingredient - It has been used for decades in formulations for thickened, flaky skin. A coal tar ointment helps reduce the look of scaling over time.
- The ointment base keeps them in place - The rich base holds both actives on the patch, so less is lost to rubbing or drying.
Targeted Care for Dry, Scaly Skin
Step 1 — Clean and Dry
Gently clean the affected area and pat it dry to prepare the skin for smooth, even application.
Step 2 — Apply and Target Scaling
Apply a thin layer of Cosalic Ointment over the affected area as Salicylic Acid helps loosen scaly buildup and Coal Tar supports care for thickened, rough skin.
Step 3 — Leave as Directed and Support Comfort
Leave the ointment on the skin as directed to help support softer-feeling skin and improve comfort in dry, scaly areas.

- People already on a doctor-advised routine - Many people researching coal tar ointment for psoriasis follow a dermatologist's routine; Cosalic should be used as their doctor directs.
