Yes, both Sarna Original and Sarna Sensitive are steroid-free.

If a product is not labeled as steroid-free, then check the list of active ingredients. The most commonly found over-the-counter steroid ingredient is hydrocortisone. Products containing steroids are sometimes called “topical corticosteroids.” If you are still not sure whether a product contains steroids, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Sarna Sensitive also relieves the itch associated with dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin¹.

The active ingredient in Sarna Sensitive is specifically formulated for those with sensitive skin conditions. It uses 1% pramoxine hydrochloride to soothe the itch associated with dry, eczema prone skin.

Sarna Original uses 0.5% of both camphor and menthol to soothe the itch associated with dry skin, insect bites, poison oak/ivy/sumac and sunburn.
