E45 Cream is a dermatological moisturizer that is designed to provide intense hydration and relief for dry skin conditions. It contains a combination of active ingredients that help to moisturize and protect the skin. The main ingredients in E45 Cream are:
-
White Soft Paraffin (14.5%): A highly refined mineral oil that forms a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated.
-
Light Liquid Paraffin (12.6%): Another type of mineral oil that helps to lock in moisture and soothe dry, itchy skin.
-
Anhydrous Lanolin (Medilan®): A natural wax derived from sheeps wool that acts as an emollient, softening and soothing the skin.
-
Aqua (Water): Provides a base for the cream and helps to hydrate the skin.
-
Glycerin: A humectant that attracts and retains moisture, helping to keep the skin hydrated.
-
Glyceryl Stearate: An emollient that helps to soften and smooth the skin.
-
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate: A lightweight emollient that helps to improve the spreadability of the cream.
-
Cetyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol that acts as an emollient and thickening agent, helping to give the cream its rich texture.
E45 Cream has been dermatologically tested and is perfume-free, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It is a popular choice for individuals with dry skin conditions, as it is highly moisturizing and does not cause irritation or stinging. However, it is worth noting that some people may be allergic to lanolin, although this is a small percentage of the population.
