Emollients are fats or oils used for their local action on the skin and, occasionally, the mucous membranes. These oleaginous substances, also known as occlusive agents and humectants, are employed as protectives and as agents for softening the skin and rendering it more pliable. White soft paraffin forms an effective occlusive lipid film. The mechanism of action is by occluding water loss from the outer layer of skin.

White soft paraffin exerts its physiological effects by forming an occlusive layer on the surface of the skin. It is effective because it is not subject to absorption or subsequent distribution in the body, excretion or metabolism. Pharmacokinetic particulars are not appropriate in these circumstances.

No relevant pre-clinical data has been generated.
