PoxClin CoolMousse 100ml is a cooling foam for children with chickenpox, made to relieve the skin irritation, itching, burning and sensitivity the condition causes. It is a foam applied by hand rather than a cream or lotion, so it can be smoothed gently over itchy skin and cools as it goes on.

Key Features

• Made for children with chickenpox: PoxClin describes CoolMousse as relief from the skin irritation, itching, burning and sensitivity associated with chickenpox, and markets it for children.
• Cooling and soothing foam: The manufacturer states it gives instant itch relief with a cooling, soothing effect. It can be kept in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.
• Applied as a foam: The foam is squeezed into the hand and rubbed gently onto the skin, which PoxClin describes as an easy and hygienic way to apply it.
• Aloe vera gel with lavender and chamomile: The formula is based on aloe barbadensis gel and also contains lavender and chamomile extracts, panthenol and allantoin.

Can adults use PoxClin CoolMousse?

PoxClin markets CoolMousse for children with chickenpox. Adults with chickenpox are advised to speak to their doctor, especially if they are pregnant or have a weakened immune system, because chickenpox is usually more severe in adults.

Should PoxClin CoolMousse be kept in the fridge?

It does not need to be. PoxClin says it can be stored in the fridge if you would like an additional cooling effect when you apply it.
