Description
Zerobase Emollient Cream is a 50g leave-on moisturiser from the Zeroderma range, used to soften, moisturise and protect red, inflamed, damaged, dry or chapped skin. Its compact tube size makes it easy to carry for use away from home, alongside the same formulation available in the larger 500g pump.
Key Features
- Compact, travel-friendly size: The 50g tube is easy to carry for use away from home or to try the product.
- 2-in-1 emollient and soap substitute: Free from SLS and fragrance, and can be used both as a moisturiser and as an alternative to soap.
- Can be applied before bathing: If you have eczema, applying the cream before a bath can help stop the skin drying further.
- Contains liquid paraffin for an occlusive barrier: Liquid paraffin 11% w/w (21% total paraffin content) helps soften and protect the skin.
- Suitable for adults, the elderly and children: Can be applied to affected areas of skin across all these age groups.
Can Zerobase Emollient Cream be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Using Zerobase Emollient Cream during pregnancy and breastfeeding is unlikely to have any ill effects when used as directed. If you're unsure, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Is the 50g tube the same formulation as the 500g pack?
Yes. The 50g tube contains the same formulation as the 500g pump pack. It's a smaller, more portable size, useful for travel or for trying the product, while the 500g pump is designed for regular, ongoing use with minimal product wastage.
Why does Zerobase Emollient Cream carry a fire warning?
Zerobase contains paraffin, which can soak into clothing, bedding and dressings. Fabric that has dried with the product on it catches fire more easily, so it's important to keep away from naked flames and not to smoke while using it. Washing affected fabric regularly reduces, but does not remove, this risk.
Ingredients
Active ingredient: Liquid paraffin 11% w/w.
Other ingredients: White soft paraffin, cetostearyl alcohol, macrogol cetostearyl ether, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, chlorocresol, phosphoric acid, purified water.
Usage and Instructions
Apply to the affected areas of skin as often as required, and smooth gently into the skin, following the direction of hair growth. If you have eczema, the cream can also be applied before a bath to help stop the skin drying further. For external use only.
Warnings
The following precautions apply when using Zerobase Emollient Cream:
