CarraDerm

CarraDerm is a topical moisturizing cream and emollient used to manage dry, scaly, or itchy skin conditions and minor irritations such as diaper rash and radiation-induced dermatitis. It works by forming an oily, occlusive layer on the skin surface that traps moisture, while humectant ingredients like glycerin and lecithin draw water into the outer skin layers to soften and hydrate. The formulation typically contains a blend of emollients (e.g., petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, dimethicone) and may include skin protectants like zinc oxide. Developed by Carrington Laboratories, it is primarily utilized in wound care and dermatology as a skin barrier and hydration agent.
