Epaderm Junior Ointment 125g

Nurture your child's skin with Epaderm Junior Ointment 125g, a trusted emollient designed for children with very dry, reactive, or easily irritated skin. Part of the Epaderm Junior Range, this ointment comes in a child-friendly design to help encourage regular application, making skincare routines easier for parents and little ones.

Formulated with a blend of beneficial ingredients including Yellow Soft Paraffin and Liquid Paraffin, Epaderm Junior Ointment works by creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier helps to lock in moisture, reducing water loss and providing long-lasting hydration, which is crucial for managing skin prone to dryness and sensitivity, including areas commonly affected by flaky patches on the scalp, dermatitis-like symptoms, or dry, red, and itchy patches. Regularly applying the ointment helps to soothe discomfort, reduce itching sensations, and support the skin's natural barrier function.

Epaderm Junior Ointment can be applied immediately after washing to counteract the loss of essential oils from the skin. It should be applied generously and frequently – even when the skin has improved.

Directions for Emollient Use: Apply Epaderm Junior Ointment directly onto the skin in the direction of hair growth. This will reduce the risk of blocking hair follicles.

Using Epaderm Junior Ointment as a skin cleanser helps ensure that dry skin can be properly washed without losing additional moisture, or having to deal with the problems that common soap additives might produce.

Directions for Skin Cleanser: Scoop a small amount from the tub, lather under warm water and then use as a normal soap.

Soaking the skin in an emollient for optimum rehydration is another key step of complete emollient therapy. When using Epaderm Junior Ointment as a bath additive, care should be taken, as it will make the surface of the bath slippery.

Directions for Bath Additive: Take 4g (about the size of a two pound coin) from the tub. Melt this in a tumbler of hot water, ensuring it has cooled sufficiently before adding to the bath. Do not apply hot water directly to the skin.

A measure of Epaderm Junior Ointment is around 4g - which is around the size of a £2 coin or a teaspoon full.
