Cetraben Ointment 450g is a versatile 3-in-1 emollient specifically designed to provide intense hydration and protective care for individuals with very dry, reactive skin and skin prone to itching. Its unique formula helps replenish moisture and supports the skin's natural barrier.

Description

This effective ointment works as an emollient, a gentle skin cleanser, and a soothing bath additive, offering a comprehensive solution for managing severely dry, flaky, or easily-irritated skin. The rich, high-paraffin formula, containing White Soft Paraffin 35% w/w and Light Liquid Paraffin 45% w/w, creates a robust protective barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier helps to lock in moisture effectively and shield the skin from external irritants. Unlike some heavy ointments, Cetraben Ointment 450g softens the skin without leaving an excessively sticky or greasy residue, ensuring comfort throughout the day or night.

Benefits of Cetraben Ointment 450g:

  • Intensive Hydration: Provides a higher level of moisture and protection compared to creams and lotions, ideal for severely dry and compromised skin.
  • 3-in-1 Action: Can be used as a leave-on emollient, a gentle soap substitute for cleansing, and a bath additive to soften water and moisturise skin during bathing.
  • Protective Barrier: The high paraffin content (White Soft Paraffin 35% w/w and Light Liquid Paraffin 45% w/w) forms a durable layer on the skin, preventing moisture loss and protecting against environmental triggers.
  • SLS & Paraben-Free: Formulated without common irritants, making it suitable for sensitive and easily-irritated skin.
  • Versatile Use: Excellent for overnight application to maximise hydration, and can complement lighter emollients used during the day. Helps relieve the discomfort associated with persistent dry skin conditions.

Regular use of Cetraben Ointment 450g can significantly improve skin texture, reduce redness, and alleviate the feeling of discomfort associated with dry and irritated skin, helping you to manage your skin health more confidently.

FAQ

What is Cetraben Ointment 450g used for?

Cetraben Ointment 450g is used to treat and manage severe dry skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. It helps to hydrate, protect, and soothe irritated skin, reducing dryness, itching, and flaking.

How often should I apply Cetraben Ointment 450g?

You should apply Cetraben Ointment 450g as liberally and frequently as needed, especially after bathing or showering when your skin is still moist. Regular application helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier.

Is Cetraben Ointment 450g suitable for sensitive skin or children?

Yes, Cetraben Ointment 450g is formulated to be SLS and paraben-free, making it suitable for sensitive skin and often recommended for use on children and infants with dry skin conditions, under medical supervision if necessary. Always read the product leaflet.

Can Cetraben Ointment 450g be used as a soap substitute?

Yes, Cetraben Ointment 450g can be used as a soap substitute. Apply it to wet skin, gently wash, and then rinse thoroughly. This helps prevent the drying effects of conventional soaps.

What is the difference between Cetraben Ointment and Cetraben Cream?

Cetraben Ointment 450g has a higher paraffin content, making it richer and more intensive for very dry, compromised skin, providing a stronger barrier. Cetraben Cream is generally lighter and may be preferred for less severe dryness or daytime use, absorbing more quickly.

 

How does Cetraben Ointment 450g help protect the skin barrier?

The high concentration of White Soft Paraffin and Light Liquid Paraffin in Cetraben Ointment 450g forms a robust, occlusive layer on the skin's surface. This barrier reduces trans-epidermal water loss, effectively locking in moisture and protecting the skin from environmental irritants.

Directions

Bedding and clothing should be washed regularly (preferably daily) to minimise the build-up of impregnated paraffin. It may not be completely removed, even with washing at high temperatures, as paraffin is invisible and can accumulate over time.
