A range of emollients to treat and soothe dry, itching, rough and calloused skin
Emollients are skin treatments that are applied topically (directly to the skin).
In essence, an emollient is a moisturiser and could be labelled as such. This can sometimes make them a little difficult to differentiate. However, most products and brands identifying themselves as emollients share two similar ingredients: liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin. Another point to note is that products labelled as emollients are usually indicated for troublesome skin conditions such as eczema and atopic dermatitis rather than cosmetic needs.
