Emollient, Moisturizer & Soap Substitute
Hydrocare+ is a specialized skin management solution that functions as an emollient, moisturizer, and soap substitute. It is essential for patients with dry skin conditions who must avoid foaming soaps. By forming an occlusive oil film on the stratum corneum, it decreases water loss, hydrates the skin, and prevents irritation caused by standard cleansing products.
- Effective management for Eczema, Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Pruritis, Ichthyosis, and minor burns.
- Functions as a soap substitute to cleanse without drying, replacing harsh foaming agents and fragrances.
- Restores the skin's normal protective function by trapping moisture and forming an occlusive barrier.
