Moyzen Light Liquid Paraffin Moisturising Liquid
Moyzen Light Liquid Paraffin Moisturising Liquid is a gentle and effective emollient moisturising liquid formulated with Light Liquid Paraffin as its key active ingredient, designed to relieve dry, rough, and sensitive skin conditions by restoring and maintaining the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Product Overview
Moyzen Light Liquid Paraffin is a high-purity, medical-grade emollient designed to provide intensive hydration and skin protection.

Mechanism of Action
- Occlusive Barrier Formation: Moyzen works by forming a thin, hydrophobic occlusive layer on the surface of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin).
- Prevention of TEWL: This barrier prevents Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), effectively "locking in" the body's natural moisture.
- Emollient Effect: The liquid paraffin fills the gaps between desquamating (peeling) skin cells, which smooths the skin surface and reduces friction and irritation.
- Softening of Keratin: It helps soften the keratin structure of the skin, making it more pliable and preventing the formation of painful cracks or fissures.
- Soothing Action: By creating a protective shield, it prevents external irritants, allergens, and pollutants from penetrating the sensitive underlying layers of the skin.
Key Benefits
- Intense Hydration: Provides immediate relief for severely dry skin, restoring a healthy moisture balance.
- Barrier Repair: Helps rebuild the protective lipid layer of the skin, which is essential for patients with atopic dermatitis.
- Non-Irritating Formula: Being chemically inert, it is highly unlikely to cause allergic reactions, making it safe for infants and elderly patients.
- Versatile Application: Can be used directly on the skin or added to bath water to provide a full-body moisturising treatment.
- Improved Skin Elasticity: Regular use prevents the "tight" feeling associated with dryness, keeping the skin soft and flexible.

Usage
Dosage
Moyzen Light Liquid Paraffin should be applied as frequently as required to keep the skin hydrated and soft. For chronic conditions like eczema or psoriasis, it is typically applied 3 to 4 times daily or whenever the skin feels dry or tight. Because it is a topical emollient, there is no strict upper limit on application frequency; however, consistent use is essential to maintain the skin barrier and prevent flare-ups of dryness.
Administration
| Aspect | Guideline |
| Technique | Apply the liquid to the affected area and rub in gently until absorbed |
| Timing | For maximum effect, apply immediately after bathing while the skin is still slightly damp |
| Bath Use | Can be added to bath water (approx. 5–10ml) to provide a protective film over the whole body |
| Direction | Smooth the liquid onto the skin in the direction of hair growth to avoid blocking follicles |
| Caution | Use care when applying to feet or using in a bath, as the liquid can make surfaces very slippery |
| Safety | Keep away from open flames, as dressings or clothing soaked in paraffin-based products are a fire hazard |
