Detail Product Description

Epaderm Emollient doesn't contain any active ingredients as such. It is a mixture of yellow soft paraffin, liquid paraffin and emulsifying wax that produces a greasy moisturiser. It works by providing a layer of oil on the surface of the skin to prevent water evaporating from the skin surface. Dry skin results from lack of water in the outer layer of skin cells known as the stratum corneum. When this layer becomes dehydrated it loses its flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly and sometimes itchy. This increases as we get older and is made worse by washing, because hot water and soap remove the layer of natural oil on the skin surface.

Ingredients:

Purified Water EP, Liquid Paraffin Ph. Eur., Yellow Soft Paraffin BP, Cetomacrogol Emulsifying Wax BP (contains Cetostearyl Alcohol and Macrogol Cetostearyl Ether 22), Chlorocresol, Glycerine BP
