UsesThis
medication
is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly,
itchy skin
and minor
skin
irritations (such as
diaper rash
,
skin
burns from
radiation therapy
). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the
skin
and decrease
itching
and flaking. Some products (such as zinc oxide, white petrolatum) are used mostly to protect the
skin
against irritation (such as from wetness).
Dry skin
is caused by a loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin. Petrolatum,
lanolin
,
mineral oil
and
dimethicone
are common emollients. Humectants, including
glycerin
, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of skin. Many products also have ingredients that soften the horny substance (keratin) that holds the top layer of skin cells together (including urea, alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic/citric/glycolic acid, and
allantoin
). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, helps the skin keep in more water, and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer.
