Styptic pencils are used to quickly seal small cuts and nicks, especially those caused during wet shaving. The aluminium sulphate ingredient works to contract the tissue around the cut and seals the injured blood vessels, instantly stopping any bleeding.

You can apply Safe and Sound Health’s Styptic Pencil directly to small cuts to stop bleeding instantly. Styptic pencils are commonly used to treat and stop bleeding from shaving cuts, but they are also useful for calming skin irritation after an insect bite or sting.
