Medicine Description johnsons-baby-oil 75ml
johnson's baby oil is a medication designed to provide a protective barrier on the skin, primarily composed of mineral oil, which is derived from petroleum. This oil acts by forming a thin layer over the skin, preventing moisture loss and thereby keeping the skin hydrated. The emollient properties of the oil facilitate the retention of water in the skin, enhancing its softness and smoothness.
