Interactions
Adverse Effects
Side effects of Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate + Liquid Paraffin topical :
In some very rare cases, it can cause local skin reactions (involving redness, irritation and/or itching).
These reactions are very rare (<1/10,000, based on spontaneous reporting) and may be irritant or allergic in nature. Reactions have been observed occasionally when used excessively as a leave-on application in areas of folded skin such as the anogenital area.
Use of this lotion/cream should be discontinued if the skin condition seems to look or feel worse.
Very rarely, hypersensitivity including anaphylactic reaction is possible (based on literature for chlorhexidine-containing products).
Mechanism of Action
The ingredients exhibit antimicrobial properties to control dry skin problems. Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride are antimicrobials. They help to combat bacteria present on the skin that can make eczema worse and prevent the infection caused by scratching itchy skin.
Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are emollients that help to soften, moisturize, and protect the skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin.
Massaged into the skin, the emollients, liquid paraffin, and isopropyl myristate permit the rehydration of dry skin by forming an occlusive barrier within the skin surface, thus reducing drying from the evaporation of water that diffuses from the underlying layers.
