Product Overview
Cetraben 3‑in‑1 Ointment 450g is a high‑lipid emollient ointment with paraffin that hydrates and protects very dry, rough or irritated skin. It can also be used as a gentle cleanser or bath additive for skin care in eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
Description
Cetraben® 3-in-1 Ointment 450g is a highly intensive emollient ointment designed to help manage very dry, cracked and eczema-prone skin. It is suitable for a wide range of dry skin conditions including eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and ichthyosis, as well as severe dryness caused by frequent washing, cold weather or ageing skin.
Cetraben® 3-in-1 Ointment provides three essential benefits in one product:
- Moisturises dry skin as a leave-on emollient
- Cleanses the skin as a soap substitute
- Protects the skin barrier by locking in moisture
The rich ointment base forms a long-lasting protective barrier on the skin, helping to prevent moisture loss and soothe itching, irritation and redness. It is particularly beneficial during flare-ups, for night-time use, or on areas of very dry skin such as hands, feet, elbows and knees.
The formulation is fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin, including use by adults, children and infants. The large 450g size makes it ideal for regular, long-term and family use.
