At a glance
Liquid Paraffin + White Soft Paraffin + Glycerin is a highly concentrated moisturizing cream used to prevent and relieve dry skin and manage dry skin problems associated with eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
Description
Glycerine is an exceptionally good moisturizing, emollient and protective agent. Its ability to capture and retain water slows down evaporation from the skin surface. It is also a humectant that promotes skin hydration. Light Liquid Paraffin and White Soft Paraffin exert an emollient effect by forming an occlusive film that reduces trans-epidermal water loss, thus helping to maintain normal skin humidity levels.
