FAQ

How often should I apply Zerobase Emollient Cream 50g?

You should apply Zerobase Emollient Cream 50g to the affected skin areas as often as required to keep the skin hydrated and comfortable. This can vary from several times a day to just once, depending on the dryness and irritation levels of your skin.

 

Can Zerobase Emollient Cream 50g be used on children?

Zerobase Emollient Cream is generally suitable for use on children; however, always consult a healthcare professional or a Weldricks pharmacist for advice regarding use on very young children or infants, especially if they have sensitive or reactive skin.

What is the purpose of Liquid Paraffin in this cream?

Liquid Paraffin in Zerobase Emollient Cream acts as an occlusive emollient. It forms a protective oily layer on the surface of the skin, which helps to reduce water evaporation and keep the skin moist. This action supports the skin's natural barrier and helps relieve dryness and irritation.
