The researchers, from the University's Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology, have published a study in the British Journal of Dermatology showing that aqueous cream BP reduces the thickness of healthy skin over a period of four weeks, calling into question whether the cream should be used for treating eczema.
Originally used as a wash product, aqueous cream BP is currently the most widely prescribed emollient for the treatment of dry skin conditions. It is used to moisturise the skin, improving flexibility and preventing cracking in the protective outer layer, called the stratum corneum.
However, the cream contains a detergent, called sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), which can increase the permeability of the skin barrier and cause irritation.
TVNL Comment: Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) or similar chemicals like ALS are in most soaps. These soaps remove the protective lipids in your skin causing the chemicals and other chemicals, like the fragrance additives, perfumes, deodorants, etc, to absorb into your blood. These chemicals combine with each other to form cancer causing agents. Use an olive oil or glycerin based soap.
