Alpha Boracic Acid Powder 50g

Boracic (boric) acid powder is the mild antiseptic of great-grandmother's first-aid tin, dusted into foot powders and old dressings and dissolved into the eye-wash lore of another era. Pharmacy learned its limits the hard way: boric acid absorbed through broken skin killed infants in the early twentieth century, a toxicity record that ended its nursery use and confines it today to occasional external use on intact adult skin, plus modern niche roles a clinician may direct. Stocked for tradition, sold with the history attached.

The traditional customer knows exactly what they want it for; the pharmacist's added value is the firm modern limits that keep an old powder harmless. Stocking it keeps the sale inside a counselled conversation, which for this particular powder is most of the point.
