Emollient
Soothes and softens the skin
Emollients soften, soothe and protect the skin when applied topically — the external counterpart to a demulcent. They ease dryness, roughness and irritation.
Emollient is a sub-action of Vulnerary. Where vulnerary promotes wound healing, emollient is its narrower, more targeted form.
