Emolene Cream

Other General Warnings

• You have any pre-existing medical condition, especially skin-related problems like skin cuts, infections, sores, etc.
• You experience any adverse effects, such as stinging, itching, irritation, etc., report to a physician or dermatologist immediately.
• You have a known allergy to any of the ingredients of this cream or any medicine.

• Emolene cream should be used exactly as directed by the dermatologist and follow the instructions properly mentioned in the package leaflet.
• It is for external use only.
• Apply a thin layer and rub gently to cover the affected area for the days and times advised by your doctor.
• You should wash your hands properly before and after the use of this cream.

• Store Emolene cream in its original packing to protect it from light.
• Try to keep it out of the reach of children.
• Do not use this cream if you notice that the pack is damaged or shows signs of tampering.
• Do not keep outdated cream.

• If you come into contact with this cream, immediately rinse your eyes with clean water. After applying Emolene cream, avoid direct sun exposure.
• Use proper sunscreen and protective clothing before stepping out.
• Do not use in children under 2 years without a doctor's consultation.
• Emolene Cream suits all skin types, including sensitive skin. Always do a patch test before applying it to larger areas of your skin.
• Apply it while your skin is still slightly damp after washing, as this traps moisture and works better than applying it to dry skin.
• Use it as often as the skin needs rather than on a fixed schedule. For very dry skin, apply it several times a day, and more in winter or in air conditioning.
• Smooth it on in the direction the hair lies rather than rubbing it in hard, which can block hair follicles and cause spots.
• Avoid soap and foaming washes on affected skin, as they strip the natural oils the cream replaces. A soap substitute does as much as the cream itself.
• Take care around naked flames and cigarettes if you apply a greasy emollient over large areas, as dressings and clothing can absorb it and become flammable.

• Emolene cream contains propylene glycol as its main component.
• Propylene glycol is used as a humectant, emollient or preservative in various skincare products. But it is best known for its attribute of hydrating and humectant agents.
• The main cause of dryness is the lack of water in the upper layer of the skin. Propylene glycol also acts as a skin conditioner. It forms a layer on the top of the skin, traps water in the skin, and aids in the better absorption of potent ingredients into the skin. Thus, it helps in skin conditioning.
