Elta ® Lite: Lighter lotion formulation flows on for superior daily moisturizing protection.
Dry skin occurs when skin cells lose their ability to hold water or the body does not supply enough water to the cells. This is primarily due to loss of natural oils which form a moisture barrier on the skin surface, poor circulation, or a combination.

The Battle Creek Thermophore ® Automatic Moist Heat Pack electric fomentation unit was developed to conveniently provide moist fomentation treatments whenever moist heat is indicated. The elta lotion Hot Pack has a special tightly-woven fleece blend cover which retains moisture from the air. When the unit is turned on, the surge of heat into the cover moves the moisture from the heated fleece blend to the cooler body tissue.
