Ingredients:

White Soft Paraffin 13.2% W/w, Light Liquid Paraffin 10.5% W/w, Emulsifying Wax (Sls Free), Cetostearyl Alcohol, Glycerol, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid Monohydrate, Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate, Purified Water

Directions:

The Cream, Lotion and Ointment in the Cetraben range are simple to apply. The Cream and Lotion come packaged with a pump dispenser, helping you avoid mess and waste while ensuring easy and measured applications whenever you need them.
Apply to the skin as often as required or directed by your pharmacist of GP, to ensure continued hydration throughout the day. We recommend that you treat your skin as frequently as possible, or as a minimum at least twice a day.
Apply liberally to the affected skin, as often as you feel the need to, ensuring that the area is well covered.
Apply gently in the direction of hair growth until absorbed.
Avoid rubbing the cream vigorously as this could trigger itching, creating more heat in the skin.
Apply your emollient before and after you bathe to protect your skin from dryness.
In addition, you can use the ointment as a soap substitute as it will be kinder to the skin but just a effective as cleaning it.
Prime the pump before first use by depressing fully until cream appears. If the pump stops working do not dismantle. Re-start by covering the nozzle, then fully depress the pump several times to expel air.
