Dermol Emollient Shower Cream

Description

What It Is

Dermol Emollient Shower Cream is a moisturizing, antimicrobial shower cream that works as a soap substitute to cleanse without stripping the skin of its natural oils. It’s tailored for individuals with eczema, dermatitis, and other dry, itchy skin conditions.

Ingredients & Action

Active components:

• Liquid Paraffin (2.5% w/w) — occlusive emollient that locks in moisture

• Isopropyl Myristate (2.5% w/w) — helps with deep skin penetration and hydration

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.1% w/w) and Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride (0.1% w/w) — antimicrobial agents that reduce skin bacteria, notably Staphylococcus aureus, common in eczema-prone skin

Additional formulation includes: cetostearyl alcohol, cetomacrogol 1000, phenoxyethanol, glycerine, propylene glycol, polysorbate, citric acid, and purified water.

Key Benefits

• Soap-free cleansing: Gentle on skin—won’t foam or lather—and preserves the skin’s protective barrier

• Hydration and protection: Emollients rehydrate skin, enhancing softness, flexibility, and moisture retention

• Antimicrobial support: Helps prevent flare-ups by controlling bacteria that can worsen itching and inflammation

Usage & Precaution Tips

How to Use:

• Use instead of soap or shower gel every time you shower

• Apply onto wet skin, massage gently, rinse or pat dry, and follow with a moisturizer if needed

• Can also be used as a leave-on treatment post-shower for extra hydration

Safety Considerations:

• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs

• May make surfaces (bathtub or shower floor) slippery—use caution

• Contains liquid paraffin, which is highly flammable; avoid flames and launder clothing or bedding that come into contact with the product regularly to reduce fire risk

Allergy Alert:

• Rare allergies may occur, especially related to chlorhexidine or cetostearyl alcohol

• If irritation, rash, or allergic symptoms appear, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider

• Some users with benzalkonium chloride sensitivity (a rare allergy) have reported severe reactions — always patch test if sensitive
  
  

Long-Term Use:
