Overview
Dermol Emollient Lotion 500ml is an antimicrobial moisturising lotion designed to help manage dry, itchy and problem skin, particularly skin affected by eczema and dermatitis. It helps soften the skin, maintain moisture and support the skin's natural protective barrier.
Active Ingredients
Each formulation contains:
Benzalkonium chloride 0.1% w/w: An antimicrobial agent that helps reduce bacteria on the skin.
Chlorhexidine dihydrochloride 0.1% w/w: An antimicrobial agent that helps control skin bacteria.
Liquid paraffin 2.5% w/w: An emollient that softens the skin and helps reduce moisture loss.
Isopropyl myristate 2.5% w/w: An emollient that helps moisturise and smooth the skin.
Uses and Indications
Dermol 500 Lotion is used to help manage:
Dry and itchy skin.
Eczema-associated dryness and irritation.
Dermatitis and other dry, itchy skin conditions.
Skin dryness aggravated by frequent washing or ordinary soaps.
Skin requiring regular moisturising as part of a recommended skin-care routine.
Mechanism of Action: How It Works
Dermol 500 Lotion combines moisturising and antimicrobial actions.
Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate help soften the skin and form a protective layer that reduces water loss. This helps rehydrate dry skin and maintain its protective barrier.
Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride provide antimicrobial activity, helping reduce bacteria on the skin that may aggravate eczema or contribute to secondary infection when itchy skin is scratched
Precautions and Warnings
For external use only; do not swallow.
Avoid contact with the eyes. Rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.
Do not use if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients, particularly chlorhexidine or benzalkonium chloride.
Discontinue use and seek advice if irritation, redness or a sensitivity reaction develops.
Seek medical assessment if the skin becomes increasingly painful, hot, swollen, develops pus or fails to improve.
Fabric contaminated with emollient residue can catch fire more easily. Keep clothing, bedding and dressings away from cigarettes, open flames and other ignition sources.
Take care when using the lotion in a bath or shower to avoid slipping.
Common Side Effects
Local skin reactions are uncommon but may include redness, itching, irritation or contact dermatitis. Stop using the product if symptoms worsen and consult a healthcare professional if the reaction persists.
Severe allergic reactions are rare but can occur. Seek emergency medical attention for facial or throat swelling, difficulty breathing or collapse.
