Medicinal Benefits

P-Soft Cream contains liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin. P-Soft Cream is used to treat eczema and related dry skin conditions. Liquid paraffin is a soothing agent (a substance that soothes or softens the skin). It works by avoiding water loss from the outer coating of the skin. This reduces dryness and leaves the skin hydrated and soft. White soft paraffin gives a layer of oil on the surface of the skin and avoids water evaporation from the surface of the skin and helps to moisten the skin.
