Patient friendly formulation - free from common sensitisers and irritants
Emollients are designed to protect and care for sore skin, however, some contain ingredients that may make your eczema worse. These include:
- Sensitisers that can produce immediate or delayed allergic reactions:
- Lanolin: a derivative of wool fat
- Parabens: a group of commonly used preservatives known as hydroxybenzoates
- Irritants, including:
- Synthetic or floral perfumes (some of which may also be sensitisers)
- Substances like sodium lauryl sulphate often found in shampoo and bubble bath to create the foam and in emollients to stop them separating.
- How severe the reaction is will depend on how much of the irritant is put on and how long it stays there
