Epaderm Ointment is a 3 in 1 emollient that can be applied to the skin directly, in the bath, or as a skin cleanser. It has no active ingredients in its formula. By combining yellow soft paraffin, liquid paraffin, and emulsifying wax, a greasy moisturiser is produced. It works by producing a thin layer of oil on the skin's surface to prevent water from evaporating.
Moisturisers are beneficial to treat dry skin, particularly eczema and dermatitis, which worsen when the skin is allowed to dry out. They improve the skin's capacity to retain moisture and restore its smoothness, suppleness, and elasticity when used frequently. Applying them on a regular basis can keep the skin from drying out.
