IsoSoft Lotion (2.5%%+0.1%+0.1%+2.5%)

IsoSoft Lotion — Antimicrobial Emollient Skin Lotion

IsoSoft Lotion (2.5%+0.1%+0.1%+2.5%) is a medicated emollient lotion manufactured by Unimed & Unihealth Manufacturers Ltd. — Bangladesh’s trusted dermatology brand. Each 100ml contains Liquid Paraffin 2.5%, Benzalkonium Chloride 0.1%, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride 0.1%, and Isopropyl Myristate 2.5%.

IsoSoft offers a dual benefit: the emollients hydrate and restore the skin barrier, while the antimicrobials prevent secondary bacterial infection from scratching — a common complication of pruritic (itchy) skin conditions.

Indications (Uses)

• Eczema (atopic dermatitis) — relieves itching, dryness, and skin barrier impairment
• Contact dermatitis — soothes irritated, inflamed skin
• Ichthyosis and other dry skin (xerosis) conditions
• Pruritus (generalised itchiness) associated with dry skin
• Daily soap substitute for sensitive or compromised skin
• Preventive skincare for patients prone to skin infections from scratching

How the Ingredients Work

Liquid Paraffin 2.5%: A mineral oil-based emollient that forms an occlusive film on the skin surface, sealing in moisture, softening dry skin, and protecting the skin barrier from irritants and allergens.

Isopropyl Myristate 2.5%: A light emollient ester that enhances skin softness and spreadability without greasiness — improves absorption and cosmetic feel of the lotion.

Benzalkonium Chloride 0.1%: A quaternary ammonium antiseptic that disrupts bacterial cell membranes — effective against Gram-positive bacteria (including Staphylococcus aureus, common in infected eczema) and many Gram-negative bacteria.

Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride 0.1%: A broad-spectrum antiseptic with residual antimicrobial activity — binds to skin proteins and continues to kill bacteria after rinsing, reducing re-colonisation risk.

How to Use

• Direct application: Apply generously to affected areas of dry or itchy skin, as often as needed throughout the day
• Soap substitute: Apply to wet skin, lather gently, then rinse. Avoids the drying effect of conventional soaps on sensitive or eczema-prone skin
• Bath additive: Add a generous amount to bath water for whole-body emollient therapy
• Use liberally and frequently for best results — there is no maximum daily dose for emollients

Precautions

• Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
• Not for use in ear canals
• If irritation or allergic reaction develops, discontinue use
• Emollient lotions can make surfaces slippery — take care in the bath or shower

Storage

Store below 30°C. Keep away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Do not freeze.
