Uses

This combination of glycerin, panthenol, and paraffin oil is used as a topical moisturising and skin-conditioning preparation. It is indicated for dry skin, minor skin irritation, and to help maintain the skin's moisture barrier.

Do not use if

Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component. Avoid application to open wounds or infected skin areas unless specifically directed.

Side effects

Warnings

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation or rash develops or worsens, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

How it works

Glycerin is a humectant that draws water into the stratum corneum to hydrate the skin. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is absorbed and converted to pantothenic acid, which supports skin barrier regeneration and has anti-inflammatory properties. Paraffin oil forms an occlusive layer that reduces transepidermal water loss.

Storage

Store at room temperature, below 30°C, away from direct light and heat. Keep tightly closed.
