Urelin 3% Cream

The delicate and sensitive skin of children can quickly lose moisture and become dry when exposed to external factors such as weather conditions, sunlight, detergents, and environmental pollutants. Skin dryness occurs when moisture is lost from the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin), which leads to reduced skin elasticity.

The number and activity of sebaceous glands, which help maintain moisture and prevent skin dryness, are significantly lower in infants and children compared to adults. As a result, children’s skin becomes dry more easily. Dry skin may lead to secondary complications such as dermatitis or eczema, burning, itching, flaking, cracking, and even skin lesions.

Causes of Dry Skin in Infants and Children

The delicate and sensitive skin of infants and children can quickly lose moisture when exposed to external factors such as weather conditions, sunlight, detergents, and environmental pollutants. Skin dryness occurs when moisture is lost from the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin), which reduces skin elasticity.

In infants and children, the number and activity of sebaceous glands—which help maintain moisture and protect the skin from dryness—are significantly lower than in adults. As a result, children’s skin becomes dry more easily. Dry skin can lead to secondary complications such as dermatitis or eczema, burning, itching, flaking, cracking, and even skin wounds.

Prevention and Treatment

Urelin 3% Cream contains natural active ingredients including Eucerin, Urea, Lactic Acid, and Zinc Oxide, formulated to relieve dryness and skin damage while maintaining long‑lasting skin hydration.

Eucerin is one of the closest natural lipids to human skin. It forms a protective layer on the skin surface that prevents water evaporation and restores skin softness.
Urea penetrates into the stratum corneum and is capable of attracting and retaining large amounts of water molecules for prolonged hydration.
Lactic Acid softens the stratum corneum and helps prevent skin cracking, increasing skin moisture. It also helps remove dead skin cells and supports the skin’s natural acidity balance.
Zinc Oxide is used to help prevent and treat skin irritation, diaper rash, and minor skin burns.

Indications

Urelin 3% Cream is suitable for treating all types of skin dryness and damage in infants and children, and can also be used as an adjunct treatment for psoriasis and ichthyosis.

The formula is free from parabens, corticosteroids, fragrance, paraffin, and colorants, making it safe and beneficial for the daily care of infants and children.

It can be used daily to soften and moisturize the skin of the hands, face, and body, and to help prevent and relieve skin irritation.
