What is Dermol 600 Bath Emollient

Dermol 600 Bath Emollient is an antimicrobial and emollient (softening and moisturising) skin treatment for you to add to your bath water when bathing.

It helps to treat and prevent dry and itchy (pruritic) skin conditions, especially eczema and dermatitis.

All age groups can use Dermol 600 Bath Emollient, including babies.

There are two types of the active ingredient in this product:

• Benzalkonium chloride is an antimicrobial. This helps to:
• combat bacteria present on your skin that can make eczema worse
• prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin.
• Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are emollients that help to:
• soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin
• prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary skin cleansing products.

This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition.

For adults, older children and the elderly:

• Get into the bath and cover the affected areas of skin with the bathwater.
