Epimax Ointment 500g

EPIMAX Ointment is an intensive emollient designed to provide long-lasting relief for very dry, sensitive and irritated skin. Formulated with 45% w/w liquid paraffin and 35% w/w white soft paraffin. It is suitable for daily use by adults and children with eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions

Its versatile formula can be applied directly to the skin as a moisturiser, used as a soap substitute during bathing or showering, or added to the bath for all-over hydration. Free from fragrance, SLS, parabens and lanolin, EPIMAX Ointment is suitable for sensitive skin and is vegan-friendly. 

If you have previously found paraffin-based ointments unsuitable, or prefer a paraffin-free alternative, EPIMAX Paraffin-Free Ointment offers the same intensive emollient care without containing liquid paraffin or white soft paraffin.

How do I use Epimax Ointment?

Apply to skin as frequently as required, smoothing gently into the affected areas in the direction of hair growth. Do not use on the face. Wash hands after use.

To use as a body wash, use as required in the bath or shower.
 

To use as a bath additive, melt about 4g (the size of a £2 coin) in hot water and add to the bath. Care should be taken as this can make the bath slippery.

If you have any severe side effects, stop use immediately and seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. In the event of accidental contact, rinse well with water and seek medical advice. Do not use if allergic to any of the ingredients. Seek medical advice before use if the skin is broken, infected, or bleeding, or after use if any undesirable effects are experienced, if accidentally swallowed, or if the product comes into contact with the eyes.

Fire hazard. Do not smoke or go near naked flames; clothing & bedding with this product dried on them can catch fire easily.
