Epaderm Junior Ointment 125g

Epaderm Junior Range utilises the tried-and-tested formulations of our standard Epaderm Cream and Ointment products, with the addition of fun and friendly packaging designs, to help parents encourage their little ones to have emollients applied. 

Epaderm Cream 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: apply Epaderm Cream directly onto the skin in the direction of hair growth, this will reduce the risk of blocking hair follicles.

Using Epaderm as a skin cleaner 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: 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 as a bath additive, care should be taken, as it will make the surface of the bath slippery.

Directions: 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 Ointment is around 4g - which is around the size of a £2 coin or a teaspoon full
