Cetraben Cream 500g is an emollient, moisturising and protective cream for the relief of red, inflamed, dry or chapped skin, including skin affected by eczema. It combines white soft paraffin and light liquid paraffin to help form a protective barrier on the skin and replace oils lost from dry or damaged skin. The 500g pump pack is sized for frequent home use, so there's always enough to hand for regular, everyday application.

**Key Features**

- **Dual-paraffin formulation:** Contains white soft paraffin BP (13.2% w/w) and light liquid paraffin Ph Eur (10.5% w/w), which work together to form a protective barrier on the skin and replace lost natural oils.
- **For eczema-prone skin:** Formulated for the symptomatic relief of red, inflamed, damaged, dry or chapped skin, including skin affected by endogenous or exogenous eczema.
- **Large 500g pump pack:** Sized for frequent home use, so there's plenty to hand for regular, everyday application without running out.
- **Suitable for most of the family:** Can be used by adults, elderly people and children over 1 year old.

### Is Cetraben Cream suitable for babies or young children?

Cetraben Cream is suitable for adults, elderly people and children over 1 year old, according to the manufacturer's guidance. If you're considering it for a baby under 1, check with a pharmacist, health visitor or GP first.

### Can Cetraben Cream be used on the face as well as the body?

Yes. Cetraben Cream can be applied to the face as well as the body.

### How is Cetraben Cream different from Cetraben Ointment or Lotion?

Cetraben is also available as a Lotion and an Ointment. The cream is a versatile, easily absorbed option for everyday moisturising. The lotion is lighter, making it suited to larger areas of skin or warmer weather. The ointment is thicker and greasier, giving more intense, longer-lasting moisturisation for very dry or cracked skin, particularly overnight.

### Why does Cetraben Cream carry a fire safety warning?

Cetraben Cream contains paraffin. If it soaks into clothing, dressings or bedding, that fabric can catch fire more easily and burn more intensely. Keep away from fire, flames and cigarettes while using it, and bear in mind that washing fabric reduces this risk but doesn't remove it completely.

“Useful cream as it can be bought without prescription. Whilst not as effective as a prescribed medication it is certainly very worthwhile to have at the present time. (Coronavirus lockdown)”

“OMG, this cream has revolutionised my skin care routine for my eczema. I use this alongside the steroid creams and ointments but his is the best moisturiser I have used for my skin condition. Sometimes the skin on my hands can be so dry that my fingers are claw liks, unable to straighten then without fear of ripping the skin after application of this product my skin feels supple and soft. I woukd highly recommend this product On a downside, sometimes the cream does string if there is an open sore”

“After being diagnosed with restricted blood flow to both legs and ulcers forming, the nurse prescribed surgical stockings and Cetraben. This has helped in soothing and replacing the skins natural moister levels. It is absorbed very quickly and not greasy. Always consult your health care professional before using any over the counter medications to make sure they are right for your needs.”
