1. Moisturizing: Hydrophilic ointments are designed to provide hydration to the skin. They help to replenish moisture and prevent dryness, making them suitable for conditions like dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis.
2. Barrier protection: These ointments create a protective barrier on the skin, which helps to prevent moisture loss and protect against irritants and allergens. They can be used to protect wounds, minor burns, and other skin injuries.
3. Lubrication: Hydrophilic ointments can be used as lubricants for medical procedures, such as inserting medical devices or instruments. They help to reduce friction and discomfort during these procedures.
4. Compatibility: These ointments are generally well-tolerated by the skin and are suitable for use on sensitive areas. They are often used in dental and veterinary applications as well.
It's important to note that hydrophilic ointments may contain various active ingredients, depending on their intended use. Some common ingredients include petrolatum, mineral oil, lanolin, and glycerin. These ointments are typically available in tubes or jars for easy application.
