Product Description

Epaderm Emollient Epaderm Emollient has been specially developed by dermatologists for treating dry skin conditions like eczema & psoriasis. You can use it every day
- just like an ordinary skin balm
- but it's also a highly effective 3-in-1 emollient. This means you can use it as a skin moisturiser, skin cleanser or bath additive. It can also be used with specially designed Tubifast Bandages if you decide to try wet, dry or patch wrapping. Specially formulated from clinically proven ingredients, Epaderm Emollient contains no additives, fragrances or colourings, & works by deeply moisturing & softening skin, easing discomfort & leaving it feeling fresh & looking good. You can be confident about using Epaderm Emollient as it is safe for use on babies & young children. Moisturisers are helpful for dry skin conditions, particularly eczema & dermatitis, which get worse when the skin is allowed to dry out. Used regularly they help restore the skin's smoothness, softness & flexibility by helping the skin retain moisture. They should be applied frequently to prevent the skin drying out. In conditions such as eczema, using a moisturiser regularly, even once the skin has enhanced, can help prevent flare-ups of this condition. Epaderm Emollient can also be used in place of soap when washing to prevent drying of the skin, & as a moisturising bath additive. After washing, the skin should be patted rather than rubbed dry to avoid rubbing the oil off the skin. Ingredients The active ingredients are Emulsifying Wax & Yellow Soft Paraffin. The other ingredient is Liquid Paraffin. It contains no colours, fragrances or additives. Directions To ensure sufficient skin rehydration, the following is intended as a guide to the amounts required per application for adults & amounts to a weekly total of 672 grams. Application should be at least twice per day. When emollients are applied to the whole body, it has been suggested that adults require at least 500g/week & children require at least 250g/week of emollient being used. 1 measure is 8g. Face Ears & Neck: Half a measure twice a day Hands: Quarter of a measure twice a day Arms: 1 measure twice a day Legs: 2 measures twice a day Anterior Trunk: 1 measure twice a day Back: 1 measure twice a day Genitals: Quarter of a measure twice a day Epaderm Emollient can be used as a skin cleanser When caring for dry skin conditions, it is vital to ensure that moisturisation is carried out whenever possible. However, it is equally important that no soaps or products containing detergents are used, as not only will these aggravate the eczema, but they will actually increase water loss from the skin. Using Epaderm Emollient as a skin cleanser ensures that dry skin can be properly washed without losing additional moisture, or having to deal with the problems that common soap additives might produce. To use Epaderm Emollient as a cleanser, scoop a small amount from the tub, lather under warm water & then use as a normal soap. Using Epaderm Emollient in the bath Take 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 to the bath. Do not apply hot water directly to the skin. When using Epaderm Emollient as a bath additive, care should be taken, as it will make the surface of the bath slippery.
