Dermol 200 Shower Emollient is an antimicrobial and emollient (softening and moisturising) treatment for you to apply to your skin as part of your normal showering routine. It helps to treat and prevent dry and itchy (pruritic) skin conditions, especially eczema and dermatitis.
  • All age groups who normally shower can use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient.
  • There are two types of active ingredient in this product:
  • Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride are antimicrobials. 
These help to: combat bacteria present on your skin that can make eczema worse
  • prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin.
  • Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are emollients which help to:
  • soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin
  • prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary skin cleansing products.
This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition

How to use

Use it only on the skin. For maximum benefit you should use this product on a regular basis and whenever you shower.

The same instructions apply for all age groups who normally shower:-

  • To use the product, remove the hooked overcap and attach it to the base of the bottle for hanging in the shower.
  • Holding the bottle upside down, gently squeeze the product into the palm of your hand.
For use as a soap substitute

  • Use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient to wash with instead of ordinary soap or shower gel. It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products.
  • After washing or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse).
For use as a leave-on application (eg after showering):

  • Apply Dermol 200 Shower Emollient to the affected areas.
  • Gently smooth into the skin.
  • If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
  • Reapply as often as required.
  • If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Dermol 200 Shower Emollient, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.
  • If you forget to use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient

Do not worry if you occasionally forget to use it, just carry on using the product as described the next time you require it.

If the product gets into the eyes

The product may cause irritation if it gets into the eyes. Rinse the eyes with plenty of water. If rinsing one eye, take care to avoid washing product into the other eye. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Side effects & Cautions


Like all medicines, Dermol 200 Shower Emollient can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

If you experience any of the following reactions stop using Dermol 200 Shower Emollient and get urgent medical help: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat; a sudden uncharacteristic red itchy skin rash (hives) away from the site of application; wheezing or breathing difficulty; feeling faint or dizzy; a strange metallic taste in the mouth; or collapse. You may be having a serious allergic reaction.

This product has been specially designed for use on dry or problem skin areas anywhere on the body. Rarely, Dermol 200 Shower Emollient can cause skin reactions on treated areas (involving redness, irritation and/or itching). These very rare skin reactions may become more significant where associated with excessive use as a leave-on application in areas of folded skin such as the groin or in the nappy area.

Stop using the shower emollient and tell your doctor or pharmacist:

  • If your skin condition seems to look or feel worse.
  • If any of the side effects become unacceptable, or you notice any other side effects not mentioned in this leaflet.
If you swallow Dermol 200 Shower Emollient

If you accidentally swallow the product and you then feel unwell, seek medical attention.
