This medication serves as a moisturizer aimed at treating or preventing dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor irritations like diaper rash or skin burns from radiation therapy. Emollients are key ingredients that soften and hydrate the skin, reducing itchiness and flaking. Some products, such as those containing zinc oxide or white petrolatum, primarily protect the skin from irritation caused by moisture. Dry skin results from the loss of water in the upper skin layer, and emollients/moisturizers create a protective oily barrier that locks in moisture. Common emollients include petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, and dimethicone. Additionally, humectants like glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol attract water to the skin's surface. Many formulations also contain ingredients that break down keratin, the protein that binds the top layer of skin cells, such as urea and alpha hydroxy acids (lactic, citric, and glycolic acids), along with allantoin. These ingredients help remove dead skin cells, enhance moisture retention, and leave the skin feeling smoother and softer.
