DERMOL 600 BATH EMOLLIENT

Description

Dermol 600 Bath Emollient is an antimicrobial emollient and moisturiser for the management of dry and pruritic (itchy) skin conditions, especially eczema and dermatitis, and for use as a soap substitute.

Uses for Dermol 600 Bath Emollient

Dermol 600 Bath Emollient is useful for dry skin conditions, such as eczema and dermatitis, which get worse when the skin is allowed to dry out. Used regularly, this emollient can help restore the skin’s smoothness, softness and flexibility by replacing lost moisture and helping the skin retain moisture. This helps reduce scaling, redness and itching.

Dermol 600 Bath Emollient contains three main ingredients:

• Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, both of which have moisturising properties
• Benzalkonium chloride is an antiseptic

Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate work by replacing lost water within the skin, and by forming a waterproof barrier over the skin surface. This prevents water within the skin from evaporating and keeps the underlying skin hydrated.

Benzalkonium chloride has antiseptic properties that help to destroy bacteria on the surface of the skin, which may otherwise infect and aggravate dry skin conditions such as eczema.
