1. WHAT EMULSIDERM EMOLLIENT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
•
Emulsiderm Emollient is an antimicrobial and emollient (softening and
moisturising)
treatment for dry and problem skin.
•
It is for use in two ways:
– for adding to your bath water
– as a leave-on application, by application directly to the skin
•
It helps to treat and prevent dry and itchy (pruritic) skin
conditions, especially eczema
and dermatitis.
•
ALL AGE GROUPS can use Emulsiderm Emollient, including babies.
•
There are two types of ACTIVE INGREDIENT in this product:
– Benzalkonium chloride is an ANTIMICROBIAL. This helps to:
– combat bacteria present on your skin that can make eczema worse
– prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin.
– Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are EMOLLIENTS which help
to;
– soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in
the skin and restoring the
normal protective function of the skin
– prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by
washing and bathing and
by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary skin
cleansing products.
•
This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or
treatments your doctor
or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry
skin condition.
