  • Deeply Moisturises: Replenishes lost moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.
  • Soothes Irritation: Calms red and inflamed skin, reducing discomfort and itching.
  • Supports Skin Barrier Protection: Helps to rebuild and fortify the skin's natural protective barrier, reducing moisture loss and preventing irritants from entering.

Ideal for Eczema and Dry Skin Management

Living with eczema or chronically dry skin requires consistent and effective moisturising. Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g is specifically formulated to address these needs by providing intense hydration and creating a protective layer on the skin's surface. This helps to lock in moisture, reduce itching, and prevent flare-ups. Regular use supports a healthier skin barrier, which is crucial for long-term skin health, especially for those prone to dryness and sensitivity.

FAQ

Is Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g is formulated to be fragrance-free and gentle, making it suitable for sensitive skin. However, it does contain Cetostearyl Alcohol and Chlorocresol, which can cause local skin reactions in some individuals. Always check the ingredients list if you have known sensitivities and perform a patch test if unsure.

How often should I apply Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g?

You should apply Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g to the affected areas of skin as often as required. For best results, smooth gently into the skin, following the direction of the hair growth. Consistent use helps maintain skin hydration and protection.

Can Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g be used on children?

Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g is generally suitable for use on children and infants with dry skin conditions like eczema, under medical advice. For very young children or if you have any concerns, it's always best to consult a healthcare professional or your Weldricks pharmacist.

What is the difference between Zerobase Emollient Cream and a regular moisturiser?

While both moisturisers and emollients hydrate the skin, emollients like Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g are specifically designed to treat and protect very dry, irritated, or inflamed skin, such as that associated with eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. They typically have a higher oil content, creating a stronger protective barrier to prevent water loss and soothe symptoms, and are often free from common irritants like fragrances.
Directions

Apply the cream to the affected areas of skin as often as required.

Important Flammability Warning: Contains Paraffin

Products containing paraffin, like Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g, can become flammable when they soak into fabric, such as clothing, bedding, and dressings. Please observe the following precautions to minimise fire risk:

  • Do not go near anyone smoking or using naked flames (e.g., candles, gas cookers, heaters) while using this product.
  • Regularly change clothing and bedding that has come into contact with the cream, as emollients can impregnate fabric and increase fire hazard.
  • Wash fabric that has come into contact with emollients at a hotter temperature to help reduce paraffin build-up.
