E45 Cream is a popular emollient used for the treatment of dry skin conditions. It is widely recommended by dermatologists and is available over-the-counter in many countries. E45 Cream is known for its ability to soothe, soften, and relieve discomfort associated with dry skin.

Composition[edit]

E45 Cream contains a blend of white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin, and anhydrous lanolin. These ingredients work together to create a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and providing hydration.

White Soft Paraffin[edit]

White soft paraffin is a purified mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. It acts as an occlusive agent, trapping moisture in the skin and providing a smooth texture.

Liquid Paraffin[edit]

Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is a clear, odorless oil that helps to lock in moisture and soften the skin. It is commonly used in skincare products for its emollient properties.

Anhydrous Lanolin[edit]

Anhydrous lanolin is a natural substance obtained from the wool of sheep. It is highly effective in moisturizing and protecting the skin, making it a key ingredient in E45 Cream.
