Funbact A Triple Action Antibacterial, Antifungal & Anti-inflammatory Cream - 30g

This medication serves as a moisturizing agent used to address or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin, as well as minor skin irritations like diaper rash and skin burns from radiation therapy. Emollients are compounds that soften and hydrate the skin while reducing itching and flaking. Certain products, such as zinc oxide and white petrolatum, primarily shield the skin from irritation, particularly from moisture.

Dry skin results from a loss of moisture in the outer skin layer. Emollients/moisturizers function by creating a protective oily layer on the skin's surface, which retains moisture. Common emollients include petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, and dimethicone. Humectants like glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol attract water to the skin's outer layer. Many products also contain ingredients that soften keratin, the tough substance binding the top layer of skin cells, including urea, alpha hydroxy acids like lactic, citric, and glycolic acid, as well as allantoin. This process aids in shedding dead skin cells, enhancing water retention, and leaving the skin feeling smoother and softer.
