Lotion Lotion is an external liquid preparation generally containing oils, alcohols, and other solutions, which can be classified into solutions, emulsions, suspensions, etc. When applied to the skin by rubbing, it produces effects such as analgesia, soothing, anti-pruritic, astringency, and anti-inflammatory. It is not suitable for broken wounds or mucous membranes. Lotions often contain analgesic, erythrogenic, or irritating drugs. They typically include oils, soaps, and alcohols, which help make the application smooth, remove sebum, scales, and loosen the epidermis, thereby facilitating drug penetration and absorption.
