WE CARE ABOUT SKIN
Emollin® is the only aerosol to apply pure White Soft Paraffin BP and Liquid Paraffin BP to the skin, with no preservatives, additives or SLS, reducing the risk of sensitisation.
While a consistent emollient routine is considered the mainstay of treatment for many skin conditions such as eczema, it is acknowledged that patient adherence is generally poor.1 For this reason, Emollin has been designed to be a patient friendly, quick and easy, emollient delivery.
The soothing, moisturising and skin barrier protecting benefits of paraffin- based emollients are delivered in a no- contact application, allowing patients with tender, dry skin conditions to keep on top of management without enduring painful application or risking cross contamination.
