Sarna
A commercial combination preparation, by Stiefel Laboratories, containing camphor and menthol with anti-pruritic activity. Camphor, a terpenoid extracted from camphor laurel (Cinnamonum camphora) tree, can be absorbed readily through the skin and produces a cooling feeling similar to that of menthol. Sarna, a steroid-free lotion, is used to relieve itching and cools irritated skin due to sunburn, dry and itchy skin, poison ivy, poison oak, insect bites, minor cuts, burns and abrasions.
