When smearing the CR è me. Patient showed the CR è me already at various pharmacies with little good result. The CR è me should be good to smear, because baby should be fully lubricated.
Answer
Conforma, the firm, which prepares Rosewater, confirms that benzalkonium chloride is added. Product that is of course incompatible with after lauryl sulfate. Although the suspected amount of benzalkonium chloride is low, it nevertheless appears to some extent to disturb the emulsion formation. Therefore, it should be recommended to use a non-ionogenic emulsifier such as Cetomacrogol 1000.
