The name Boroline is derived from its ingredients, 'Boro' from boric powder, which has antiseptic properties, and 'oline' as a variant of the Latin word oleum, meaning oil. The cream is a combination of essential oils and waxes and its remarkable antiseptic properties are a result of boric powder and zinc oxide. This potent combination of ingredients protects the affected skin against germs and facilitates the rapid growth of epidermal cells.
