Texture and absorption spectrum — where SOS sits in the Callux range

The SOS Ointment is unlike anything else in the Callux range. Where the smoothing creams use urea to draw moisture in, and the Lavender Cream Ointment uses an oil barrier to seal it in, the SOS Ointment is an anhydrous formula — it contains no water at all. It is composed entirely of butters, plant oils, and essential oils, making it a true rescue product for skin that is beyond what a cream can address.

Because there is no water in the formula, there are no preservatives needed to prevent microbial growth — and critically, there is nothing in it that will aggravate, sting, or irritate broken or open skin. This is the only product in the Callux range that can be applied directly to skin with splits, cracks, or raw areas. Shea Butter, Tamanu Seed Oil, Mango Seed Butter, and Coconut Oil create a deep, protective barrier that seals the skin and allows it to repair underneath, while three soothing antimicrobial essential oils — lemongrass, tea tree, and thyme — help keep the area clean.

At 92% natural origin, the SOS Ointment is also one of the cleanest formulas in the range. The heaviest texture of any Callux product, it is best recommended for evening use — applied before bed, worn with socks overnight, it works while the client sleeps and the difference is typically noticeable from the first morning. Safe for diabetic and pregnant clients.
