Beta Care Lotion is often used as a soap substitute and/or light moisturizer for atopic or hypersensitive patients. Unlike most soaps, which are alkaline in nature, BetaCare Lotion will not strip the skin of its natural barrier to moisture loss and pollutants. Since Beta Care Lotion is a lipid free, paraben free and detergent free product, it will not clog pores and is gentle on the skin.
