E45 Dermatological Cream is an emollient moisturizer that helps soften and hydrate dry skin conditions such as flaking, chapped skin, ichthyosis, traumatic dermatitis, sunburn, the dry stage of eczema, and certain dry cases of psoriasis. The cream contains a combination of ingredients that have emollient moisturizing properties and occlusive properties that provide a protective layer on the skin to prevent water from evaporating and irritants from entering. The key ingredients in E45 Dermatological Cream are:
White Soft Paraffin (14.5%): An emollient that helps to soften and hydrate the skin.
Light Liquid Paraffin (12.6%): An emollient that helps to soften and hydrate the skin.
Anhydrous Lanolin (Medilan®): A medical-grade, highly purified, hypoallergenic form of lanolin that has emollient moisturizing properties.
Cetyl Alcohol (0.5%): An emollient that helps to thicken and stabilize the cream.
Methyl Parahydroxybenzoate (E218) (0.15%) and Propyl Parahydroxybenzoate (E216) (0.04%): Preservatives that prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in the cream.
E45 Dermatological Cream is generally well-tolerated, but some people may be allergic to lanolin.
