ExoCream
Penlan Healthcare
Description
Acts as an emollient which softens and moisturises dry skin, restoring the skin’s normal protective function and acting as a barrier to irritants. It contains white soft paraffin 14.5%, light liquid paraffin 12.6%, hypoallergenic anhydrous lanolin 1%, and is fragrance free. The paraffin creates a breathable hypoallergenic layer of oil on the skin surface to prevent water evaporating while the lanolin heals and softens the top layers of the epidermis, soothing inflamed skin and preventing further flare-ups. May also be used as a gentle facial cleanser, avoiding foaming soaps which can be potential irritants.
Indications
For the symptomatic relief of dry skin conditions, where the use of an emollient is indicated, such as flaking, chapped skin, ichthyosis, traumatic dermatitis, sunburn, the dry stage of eczema and certain dry cases of psoriasis.
Contraindications
Any known hypersensitivity to any ingredient, particularly preservatives in emollients is a contraindication for its use.
