Description
E45 Cream is a versatile and trusted solution for managing a variety of dry skin conditions. This white, non-greasy emollient is free from perfumes and is dermatologically tested, making it suitable for all family members, including babies and children. Its formulation is designed to provide relief and hydration for dry, itching, flaking, chapped, and rough skin, as well as minor sunburn and hands affected by detergents.
Suitable for Various Skin Conditions
E45 Cream is particularly beneficial for those suffering from more serious dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, ichthyosis, and certain dry cases of psoriasis. Its hypoallergenic properties ensure that it is gentle on the skin, while its quick absorption helps form a protective moisture barrier. This barrier reduces water loss and shields the skin from external irritants.

Application Instructions
For optimal results, E45 Cream should be applied to the affected area two or three times daily. It is intended for external use only and should not be applied to mucous membranes or broken skin. Caution is advised for breastfeeding mothers, as it is not recommended for application to the breast.
Safety Precautions
Users should be aware of potential side effects, including allergic reactions or contact dermatitis, though these are not commonly known. The cream poses a fire hazard due to its paraffin content, which can increase the flammability of clothing and bedding. It is essential to keep it away from naked flames and hot surfaces.
