Epimax Isomol Gel is an emollient gel for the relief of dry skin in eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions. It contains isopropyl myristate 15% and liquid paraffin 15% in a hydro-gel formula, and you can use it on the skin or as a body wash in the bath or shower.

Description

Epimax Isomol Gel: a soothing gel for lasting hydration

Epimax Isomol Gel is the gel in the EPIMAX® emollient range, made for daily use on dry skin in eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions. Its hydro-gel formula gives you all the comfort of a cream, balanced with the more intensive relief that an ointment gives. The two key ingredients are isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, at 15% each.

What makes Epimax Isomol Gel different:

  • Gel format: a hydro-gel rather than a cream or ointment.
  • Two uses: apply it to the skin as an emollient, or use it as a body wash in the bath or shower.
  • Isopropyl myristate 15% and liquid paraffin 15%: the two named ingredients.
  • Free from SLS, lanolin, parabens, perfume and gluten: and suitable for vegans.
  • 500g tottle: a top-down bottle, so the gel sits at the opening ready to squeeze out.

FAQ

Can Epimax Isomol Gel be used as a body wash?

Yes. As well as applying Epimax Isomol Gel to the skin as an emollient, you can use it as a body wash, as required, in the bath or shower, in place of soap or shower gel.

What is the difference between Epimax Isomol Gel and Epimax cream?

Epimax Isomol Gel is a hydro-gel with isopropyl myristate 15% and liquid paraffin 15%, designed to feel as comfortable as a cream while giving relief closer to an ointment. The Epimax creams are cream formulations with different ingredients. Epimax Original Cream, for example, contains white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin. All are emollients for dry skin conditions, so the choice mainly comes down to the texture you prefer. If you'd like an Epimax gel rather than a cream, Isomol Gel is the one to choose.

Is Epimax Isomol Gel a steroid?

No. Epimax Isomol Gel is an emollient, not a steroid. Its ingredients are isopropyl myristate, liquid paraffin, glycerol, carbomer, polysorbate 20, triethanolamine, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin and water. Emollients can be used alongside steroid treatments if a doctor or pharmacist has recommended both.
