Glycerol / Vaseline / Paraffine Biogaran (Glycerol, Vaseline, Liquid Paraffin)

Glycerol / Vaseline / Paraffine Biogaran is indicated for a range of mild dermatological conditions where skin hydration and barrier protection are needed.

• Relief of dry, rough skin on the body or extremities.
• Management of mild eczema and atopic dermatitis flare‑ups.
• Soothing of irritant or allergic contact dermatitis.
• Protection of skin prone to chapping or cracking, such as on hands and feet.
• Adjunctive care for minor burns or superficial abrasions to maintain moisture.

Topical application of this emollient is generally well tolerated, but users should be aware of possible skin reactions.

Common

• Mild itching or warmth at the application site.
• Transient redness or mild irritation.
• Slight greasiness or oily residue on the skin.
• Minor scaling or flaking after prolonged use.
• Temporary increase in skin temperature.

Serious

• Signs of allergic contact dermatitis, such as intense redness, swelling, or blistering.
• Development of a rash that spreads beyond the treated area.
• Persistent skin irritation that does not improve with discontinuation.

When using Glycerol / Vaseline / Paraffine Biogaran, follow these safety considerations.

• Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and avoid excessive amounts.
• Do not use on infected, open wounds, or areas with active dermatitis without medical advice.
• Keep the product away from eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if signs of an allergic reaction appear.
• Store at room temperature, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children; accidental ingestion may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Topical emollients can influence the absorption or efficacy of other skin‑applied products.

Avoid

• Applying other medicated creams, ointments, or gels directly over the emollient without a waiting period, as this may reduce drug penetration.
• Using the product under occlusive dressings on compromised skin, which could increase systemic absorption of co‑applied agents.

Use with caution

• Concurrent use of topical antibiotics; monitor for signs of reduced effectiveness.
• Combination with corticosteroid creams; assess for potential increased skin thinning.
• Application before phototherapy; discuss timing with a dermatologist to avoid interference with treatment.
• Use alongside other barrier creams; ensure proper layering to avoid excessive occlusion.
