About Liquid Paraffin

Liquid Paraffin belongs to the group of medicines called 'emollients' used to treat itchy, irritating dry skin problems associated with eczema and dermatitis.
 
Liquid Paraffin contains ‘Liquid paraffin’ that works by soothing, moisturising, and conditioning the skin. It also helps prevent moisture loss from the skin and makes it soft, supple, less rough, scaly, itchy, and irritated.
