Zeroderma Zeroderm Ointment In 125g And 500g
Zeroderm Ointment is a highly effective, rich emollient designed for the management of chronic dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. This intensive moisture treatment works by creating a powerful occlusive barrier on the skin's surface, which effectively traps moisture and prevents water loss. As a 3-in-1 therapy, it is incredibly versatile; it can be used as a direct leave-on moisturiser, a soothing bath additive, or a gentle soap substitute to prevent the skin from drying out during daily washing.
If you are wondering what is zeroderm ointment used for, it is specifically formulated for patients who require a greasier, more substantial barrier than a standard zeroderma zerobase emollient cream can provide. The thick consistency of the zeroderm oint makes it ideal for overnight use or for application on particularly rough, scaly areas. Whether you need the travel-friendly 125g size or the high-value zeroderm ointment 500g tub for long-term care, this paraffin-based emollient provides a skin-softening solution that restores comfort and elasticity to compromised skin.
Key Features:
- 3-in-1 Versatility: Functions as a leave-on moisturiser, soap substitute, and bath melt.
- Intensive Occlusion: Forms a protective lipid layer to seal in hydration and block external irritants.
- Fragrance & Preservative Free: Minimises the risk of reaction for those with hypersensitive skin.
- Steroid-Free Relief: Provides a natural way to manage flares without the use of corticosteroids.
- Soap Alternative: Cleanses the skin without stripping away natural protective oils.
- Dermatologically Tested: Safe for all ages, including infants and the elderly.
- Cost-Effective Sizes: Available in 125g and zeroderm ointment 500g to suit your usage needs.
Ingredients:
The zeroderm ointment ingredients are simple yet powerful: Liquid Paraffin 40% w/w and White Soft Paraffin 30% w/w. This dual-paraffin formula ensures a high-viscosity barrier that stays on the skin longer than lighter lotions.
How to Use:
- As a Leave-on Moisturiser: Apply zero derm liberally to the affected areas in the direction of hair growth to avoid blocking pores. Use as often as needed.
- As a Soap Substitute: Take a small amount of the zeroderm ointment, lather it with warm water to create a film, wash the skin, and rinse gently.
- As a Bath Additive: Melt a small amount in a cup of hot water and add it to the bathwater. Take care, as it will make the bath surface slippery.
- Safety: Zeroderm ointment 500g side effects are rare but may include mild folliculitis (blocked pores) if rubbed in too vigorously.
- Fire Safety Warning: Paraffin-based products can soak into clothing and bedding, making them a fire hazard. Keep away from naked flames and wash fabrics at high temperatures
