Light Liquid Paraffin + White Soft Paraffin + Glycerine

Emollients & combined preparations Prescription

Indications

Light Liquid Paraffin + White Soft Paraffin + Glycerine cream is a rich moisturising cream. It is used to prevent and relieve dry skin, and to manage the dry skin problems that come with eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Glycerine is a very good moisturising, emollient and protective agent. It captures and holds water, and this slows the evaporation of water from the skin surface. It is also a humectant (a wetting agent), so it helps hydrate the skin. Light Liquid Paraffin and White Soft Paraffin work as emollients too. They form an occlusive film over the skin that reduces trans-epidermal water loss, and this helps keep the normal humidity level of the skin.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

You can use this during pregnancy and while breastfeeding without any restrictions.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
