Diarim Aqueous Cream BP is a thick, fragrance-free, and lanolin-free emollient. It is widely used across Kenya as a daily moisturizer to soothe dry skin or as a gentle substitute for soap.
Skin Benefits & Uses
-
Hydration: Locks in moisture and creates a protective barrier to relieve dry, irritated skin.
-
Soap Substitute: Because it does not foam or strip the skin of its natural oils, it is highly recommended for people with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.
-
Skin Primer/Enhancer: Can be applied before medicated treatments to help increase their absorption.
How to Use It
-
As a Moisturizer: Apply generously to the skin as often as needed.
-
As a Cleanser: Wet your skin with lukewarm water, apply a small amount of the cream, and gently massage it over the area before rinsing off with water.
Safety Notes
-
Avoid Open Wounds: Emollients can cause minor stinging or redness on broken or irritated skin.
-
Fire Hazard: Products containing paraffin build up on fabrics. Keep treated skin away from open flames or lit cigarettes.
-
Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth, and ensure the lid is tightly closed after every use.
