Medicine Description ultracare 7.5%
Ultracare 7.5% Cream is a medication that combines dimethicone and zinc oxide to provide a protective barrier on the skin. Dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer that acts as an emollient, forming a layer that helps to lock in moisture and protect the skin from external irritants. This reduces transepidermal water loss, which is beneficial for maintaining skin hydration. Zinc oxide serves as a skin protectant with anti-inflammatory properties, aiding in soothing irritation and promoting healing of the skin. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to alleviate discomfort from various skin conditions by shielding the affected area and minimizing inflammation and irritation.
