Key takeaways

Skin barrier emollients are used to help relieve skin conditions like dry skin, eczema, and minor skin irritations. They also have other uses, such as protecting the skin and promoting wound healing. These medications work by forming a protective barrier on your skin, which helps to lock in moisture and protect against irritants. Skin barrier emollients come in different topical forms, including creams, ointments, and lotions. Examples include menthol / zinc (Calmoseptine), Venelex (balsam peru / castor oil), and Epiceram. You can choose the form that best fits your needs.
