Consultants’ Comments

• “Excellent for use in a clinical setting where handwashing is frequent and dry skin is common.”
• “Doesn’t feel like it is stripping hands of moisture – leaves hands feeling silky smooth with no dryness.”
• “Instructions should be included on bottle.”
• “I like a little more lather.”

Description

Veladerm is an excellent professional handwash lotion. Veladerm is unique in that urea is the active cleaning agent rather than detergents, which most skin cleansers utilize. Urea is said to clean without destroying the skin’s protective lipid layer, which when destroyed by detergents, results in dry skin that is more vulnerable to microorganisms and toxins. Veladerm is used like liquid soap; one to two pumps of product is dispensed onto moistened hands, distributed evenly, and then rinsed with water. Veladerm is supplied in a 500-ml pump bottle. Twenty-five consultants used Veladerm over a 45-day evaluation period. This product received a 97% clinical rating.
