Product Description
Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream 400g
Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream 400g is the largest size in the range, a family-sized tub designed for households that get through this multi-purpose cream regularly rather than keeping it tucked away for occasional nappy changes. It's licensed to treat eight separate skin conditions, nappy rash, eczema, acne, cuts and grazes, minor burns, sunburn, bedsores and chilblains, which makes a single large tub genuinely useful across every member of the household, not just the youngest.
At this size, the per-gram cost works out lower than the smaller 60g and 250g tubs, so it suits anyone who already knows Sudocrem works for them and wants to avoid running out or repurchasing a small tub every few weeks. It's suitable for all ages, gentle enough to use from birth, and the same formula whether it's going in a nursery, a bathroom cabinet, or a first aid box.
Key Features:
- Treats 8 skin conditions. One tub covers nappy rash, eczema, acne, cuts and grazes, minor burns, sunburn, bedsores and chilblains.
- Family size, lower cost per gram. The 400g tub works out better value than buying smaller sizes repeatedly.
- Suitable for all ages. Gentle enough to use from birth, and just as suitable for older children and adults.
- Visible results within 24 hours. Based on a SURE study of over 2,000 respondents.
- UK's number one nappy rash cream. A long-standing household name, trusted by parents for over 90 years.
How Sudocrem Works
Sudocrem's formula is built around three main active ingredients that work together rather than any single one doing all the work.
Zinc oxide makes up the largest proportion of the formula (15.29% w/w) and helps reduce fluid loss from the skin, supporting the skin's own barrier while it heals. Hypoallergenic lanolin acts as an emollient, softening and soothing irritated or broken skin. Benzyl alcohol, alongside benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate, provides a mild local anaesthetic and antiseptic effect, which is part of why Sudocrem tends to ease discomfort as well as treat the skin condition itself.
Together, these ingredients form a protective, breathable barrier over the affected area, shielding it from further irritation (useful for nappy rash in particular) while also helping reduce redness and swelling as the skin heals underneath.
