Emosoft-10 Moisturing Gel 60gm

Salicylic Acid, the active ingredient in the White Soft Paraffin Capsule, primarily acts as a keratolytic agent. It works by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and dissolving the intercellular cement that holds the skin cells together. This action helps to loosen and remove the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum. Salicylic Acid penetrates the skin and reduces cohesion between the cells, leading to the softening and exfoliation of the skin. This mechanism is particularly effective in treating various skin conditions by unclogging pores, reducing scaling, and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, thereby facilitating the removal of excess sebum and debris.
