Indications: Management of dry or chapped skin conditions (e.g. eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis).
Pharmacology: Isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin are oily ingredients that help rehydrate and soften dry skin while being relatively non-greasy. They form an occlusive barrier within the skin surface, which reduces drying from evaporation of water that diffuses from underlying layers, thus restoring normal protective skin function. The excipient glycerol is a humectant which also helps retain moisture.

Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to the therapeutic ingredients or to any of the excipients.
Special precautions: Do not rub skin vigorously. Avoid oral ingestion (treat symptomatically if diarrhoea occurs, do not induce vomiting). Discontinue if local skin reactions occur (rare). Contains glycerol, carbomer, sorbitan laurate, trolamine, phenoxyethanol.
Drug interactions: None (if using other topical treatments, allow sufficient time for previous application to soak in before administration).
Adverse drug reactions: None common.
