Epaderm Ointment Tub 500g

Epaderm Ointment is a 3-in-1 emollient designed for the management of dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. It can be applied directly to the skin, used as a bath additive, or as a skin cleanser. Its formulation helps to moisturise and soften the skin, providing a protective barrier to aid moisture retention.

Yes, Epaderm Ointment is suitable for individuals of all ages, including babies. Its gentle formulation, free from fragrances, colourings, and preservatives, makes it ideal for sensitive skin.

To use Epaderm Ointment as an emollient, apply it directly to the skin in the direction of hair growth. This technique helps reduce the risk of blocking hair follicles. Apply generously and as often as required, even when the skin condition improves.

Yes, Epaderm Ointment can be used as a skin cleanser. Scoop a small amount from the tub, lather it under warm water, and use it as you would a normal soap. This method ensures that dry skin can be washed without losing additional moisture.

To use Epaderm Ointment as a bath additive, take approximately 4g (about the size of a £2 coin) from the tub. Melt this in a tumbler of hot water, ensuring it has cooled sufficiently before adding it to the bath. Do not apply hot water directly to the skin. Be cautious, as the bath surface may become slippery.

Epaderm Ointment contains only three ingredients: Cetomacrogol Emulsifying Wax BP (which includes Cetostearyl Alcohol and Macrogol Cetostearyl Ether 22), Yellow Soft Paraffin BP, and Liquid Paraffin Ph. Eur. This simple formulation is free from fragrances, colourings, SLS, parabens, and steroids.

Yes, for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Do not use if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients listed.

Additionally, be aware that Epaderm Ointment can make surfaces slippery, so take care when using it in the bath or shower.
