Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a body lotion and a moisturizing cream?
Body lotions are lighter, water-based products that spread easily for whole-body daily conditioning and absorb quickly. Moisturizing creams are thicker, higher-oil formulas that hold moisture longer and are stocked for dry, aging and flaking skin. Both are carried; lotions are used broadly for daily care while creams and urea-based formulas target drier skin.
What sizes and formats of body lotion are stocked?
Body lotion is stocked in 8 oz pump bottles, 4 oz tubes and 1 gallon refill jugs, with fragrance-free and dye-free options. Moisturizing creams come in 2 to 4 oz tubes and jars. Gallon and pump formats are the highest-volume choices for facility-wide daily conditioning.
Which moisturizer and lotion brands are carried?
The catalog stocks Medline Remedy and Soothe and Cool, Coloplast Sween 24 and Atrac-Tain, Convatec Aloe Vesta skin conditioner, McKesson lotions and Dynarex, plus brand-agnostic value body lotion for high-volume basics. Dimethicone, aloe and urea-based formulas are stocked across the lines.
Can facilities order moisturizers and body lotions in bulk?
Yes. Body lotions, moisturizing creams and specialty skin conditioners are stocked in case and pallet quantities for hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation units, home care agencies and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-velocity SKUs such as gallon body lotion and dimethicone moisturizing cream. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What moisturizers should be in a facility formulary?
A comprehensive moisturizer formulary typically includes a fragrance-free daily body lotion in pump and gallon formats, a dimethicone or glycerin moisturizing cream for dry skin, a urea-based cream for very dry or thickened skin, and an aloe or vitamin skin conditioner. Optional additions depend on facility case mix, such as dye-free formulas for sensitive-skin residents. MAP Medical builds consolidated skin care formulary packages matched to facility type and clinical volume - contact our team for an assessment.
