Chaulmoogra Oil — Uses for Skin
Chaulmoogra oil has a long dermatological history. Before modern antibiotics it was the principal treatment for leprosy (Hansen’s disease), and that legacy is why it remains valued today as an ingredient in skin formulations. Modern formulators use it for its emollient and soothing character in products aimed at:
- Psoriasis & eczema — used in calming, barrier-supporting balms and ointments.
- Dermatitis & dry, scaly skin — rich, occlusive feel that conditions rough skin.
- Scar and blemish care — common in traditional and ayurvedic skin blends.
- Soap making & medicated bars — adds a distinctive conditioning fraction.
Chaulmoogra oil is supplied for cosmetic, ayurvedic and industrial formulation use. It is a potent botanical — it should be used by formulators at appropriate dilution and is not intended for unsupervised internal use or self-medication. Always patch-test finished products and follow your own regulatory and safety assessment.
