About UREA(10%) + LACTIC ACID(10%W/W) + PROPYLENE GLYCOL(10%W/W) + LIQUID PARAFFIN(10%W/W)
Introduction
This is a topical skin preparation containing a combination of four active ingredients: Urea (10%), Lactic Acid (10%), Propylene Glycol (10%), and Liquid Paraffin (10%). It is designed to moisturize, soften, and repair dry, rough, or scaly skin conditions. This formulation works together to hydrate the skin, remove dead cells, and restore the skin's natural barrier.
Uses
Used for treating dry, rough, scaly, itchy, and irritated skin conditions Helps manage skin conditions like ichthyosis (fish-scale skin), xerosis (abnormally dry skin), eczema, psoriasis, corns, and calluses Useful for cracked heels and other areas with thickened or hardened skin Helps in the management of keratosis pilaris (bumpy skin) Provides relief in conditions where skin requires intensive moisturization and exfoliation
Benefits
Deeply moisturizes and hydrates dry skin, improving skin texture and appearance Helps soften and remove dead skin cells, promoting smoother skin Reduces itching, scaling, and roughness associated with various skin conditions Restores the skin's protective barrier and prevents moisture loss Improves skin flexibility and comfort Provides long-lasting hydration with regular use
Side effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common effects may include mild burning, stinging, or tingling sensation at the application site, especially on broken or cracked skin. Some people may experience temporary redness, itching, or irritation. Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling may occur. If you notice severe irritation, persistent burning, or signs of allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
How to use
This is for external use only. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer of the preparation to the affected skin and gently rub it in until absorbed. Use as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, typically 1-2 times daily or as needed. Wash your hands after application unless treating the hands. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's specific instructions regarding frequency and duration of use.
How it works
This combination works through multiple mechanisms. Urea acts as a moisturizer and keratolytic agent, helping to soften and break down hardened skin. Lactic Acid gently exfoliates dead skin cells and promotes hydration. Propylene Glycol helps other ingredients penetrate the skin and retains moisture. Liquid Paraffin forms an occlusive barrier on the skin surface, preventing water loss and protecting the skin. Together, these ingredients moisturize, soften, and repair damaged skin while promoting natural healing.

Children: Safe for use in children when used as directed, but consult a pediatrician for infants. Wound application: Avoid applying to deep or puncture wounds, open cuts, or severely inflamed skin without medical advice.
