WHAT DERMOL WASH IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR • Dermol Wash is a moisturising, protective and antiseptic soap substitute for you to use whenever you wash. It has been developed for use instead of soaps (bars and liquids) and cleansers, both of which may irritate dry skin. • Dermol Wash can also be used as a leave on treatment, re-applied after washing and drying. • It helps treat and prevent dry and itchy skin conditions. Common examples include; – occupational hand dermatitis (due to frequent hand-washing, or repeated contact with water or chemicals such as cleaning or hair products) – eczema and other types of dermatitis – psoriasis (scaly, pink patches of skin) – elderly pruritus (itchy skin due to ageing) – ichthyosis (unusually scaly skin) • ALL AGE GROUPS can use Dermol Wash, including babies. • The ACTIVE INGREDIENTS in this product are isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin (which are EMOLLIENTS), and benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride (which are ANTIMICROBIALS). • This soap substitute is specially designed to be non-foaming and is fragrance free. When used as part of your normal washing routine, it helps to: – cleanse, soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping in moisture and restoring the normal protective function of the skin – prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary cleansing products – combat bacteria present on your skin that can make eczema wors Soma hati kamili
