About Cetraben Lotion

Cetraben Lotion is a lightweight emollient designed to hydrate, protect, and soften dry and sensitive skin. It contains liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin, which help restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier and prevent water loss from the surface of the skin.

This moisturising lotion is commonly used to manage dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and other forms of skin irritation. Its smooth, easily absorbed formula makes it suitable for regular daily use on large areas of the body.

Cetraben Lotion can also be used as a skin cleanser or soap substitute to avoid further dryness caused by traditional soaps. It is suitable for adults, children, and infants.

  • Mild skin irritation or redness
