antiseptic cream
Infection-fighting lotion
Antiseptic cream is a topical ointment applied to minor cuts, scrapes, and burns to prevent infection.
The cream kills or inhibits bacteria and other microorganisms that might enter through broken skin: Put some antiseptic cream on that scrape before you bandage it.
Common active ingredients include benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine.
