INTENDED USES: it is indicated for the treatment of dry, sensitive and dehydrated skin in adults and children. May be used against skin irritations caused by water or detergents and for maintaining improvement. May be used alternately with creams or ointments containing corticosteroids.
CLAIMED BENEFITS: Lipobase enhances the hydration of the outer layer of the skin (epidermis), reduces dryness, prevents scaling and protects the skin from harm. The cream is an oil-in-water emulsion with a high lipid content (70%). It does not contain perfume. The components of the cream are selected to minimise the risk of allergy.
Therapeutic Moisturizers can be used to protect the skin around the wound and to prevent wounds in dry skin. Moisturizing creams can have substances that help moisturize the skin, such as urea, alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and dimethicone.
Therapeutic moisturizers can be purchased from pharmacies or medical supply stores. Please refer to table "Other Stores" below for suggestions on where to purchase (if there are no vendors listed and you would like to have information on suppliers, please email info@woundreference.com)
