₹94.2 • Analysed 17 August 2026
Siloderm Cream is positioned as an affordable, medicated skin cream in the Indian market, primarily for common skin irritations like diaper rash and dermatitis. Its regulation by NPPA and requirement for prescription on some platforms indicate it is treated as an OTC drug rather than a pure cosmetic. The claims of 'treating' various conditions are appropriate for its regulatory classification. Consumers should note the lack of full INCI, which is common for such medicated products but limits transparency from a cosmetic perspective.

The active ingredients Dimethicone, Calamine, and Zinc Oxide are known for their soothing and protective properties.
The combination of skin protectants (Dimethicone, Zinc Oxide), astringent/anti-itch (Calamine), and antiseptic (Cetrimide) is well-established for these conditions.
Dimethicone (20%w/w) forms a protective barrier. Calamine (1.5%w/w) reduces itching. Cetrimide (1.125%w/w) provides antiseptic action. Zinc Oxide (7.5%w/w) also contributes to protection and soothing.
These are established uses for the active ingredients in this formulation. The product is regulated as a drug/OTC medication.
Calamine is known to provide a cooling sensation and reduce itching. Zinc Oxide and Dimethicone support skin healing and protection.
Dimethicone is present at 20%w/w, a significant concentration for its emollient and skin protectant functions.
Cetrimide is present at 1.125%w/w and is a known antiseptic.
Zinc Oxide is present at 7.5%w/w and is well-known for its soothing, protective, and astringent properties.
