Cetraben Emollient Cream Pump – 1050g

Cetraben Emollient Cream Pump – 1050 g is a rich, dermatologically developed emollient cream designed to help rehydrate and protect dry, sensitive, inflamed or eczema-prone skin. Its balanced formulation combines white soft paraffin, light liquid paraffin and glycerin (a humectant) to help retain moisture, soften the skin and form a protective barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss.

Suitable for adults, children and the elderly, this non-fragrance, SLS-free emollient is ideal for everyday use on the face and body to relieve symptoms such as redness, scaling, flaking and itching often associated with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis or general dryness.

The 1050 g pump format provides hygienic, easy and measured dispensing — making regular application more convenient and reducing waste compared with tubs.

Brand: Cetraben (part of a trusted emollient range for dry and sensitive skin)

Pack Size: 1050 g pump

Product Type: Emollient moisturising cream for dry and problematic skin

Prepare the skin: Gently cleanse and pat dry the affected skin before application.

• Apply cream: Press the pump to dispense a generous amount of Cetraben Emollient Cream and smooth it gently over the entire dry or irritated area using light strokes, following the direction of hair growth where relevant.

• Frequency: Use as often as required, ideally at least twice daily, and particularly after bathing or showering to help maintain hydration.

• Bathing: For enhanced protection, apply the emollient before and after bathing to help keep moisture sealed into the skin.

• General advice: Consistent regular use helps reduce discomfort from dryness and supports the skin’s barrier function. Avoid vigorous rubbing, as this can irritate sensitive skin. 

Key Functional Ingredients:

• White Soft Paraffin (≈13.2% w/w) – occlusive emollient that forms a protective film to prevent moisture loss.

• Light Liquid Paraffin (≈10.5% w/w) – restores lost skin oils and augments the skin’s natural surface lipids.

• Glycerin (≈4.5% w/w) – humectant that attracts and holds water in the outer layers of the skin.

Other Ingredients:

• Emulsifying Wax (SLS-free) – helps create a stable cream consistency.

• Polysorbate 60 – emulsifier.

• Cetostearyl Alcohol – emollient and texture aid.

• Phenoxyethanol – preservative.

• Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid Monohydrate – pH adjusters.

• Purified Water – cream base.

This formulation offers deep hydration, helps improve skin smoothness and elasticity, and supports symptomatic relief of dry, flaky and itchy skin. 

Important Warnings & Precautions

• For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

• Sensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to white soft paraffin, light liquid paraffin or any other ingredient listed above. Some individuals may have sensitivity to components such as cetostearyl alcohol or phenoxyethanol.

• Avoid broken or infected skin unless advised by a clinician.

• Fragrance & SLS Free: Suitable for sensitive skin; however, always patch test a small area if unsure.

• Fire hazard: Emollients containing paraffin can increase flammability of clothing, bedding and dressings that have contacted the product. Keep away from naked flames and heat sources; wash any fabrics that touch the product regularly.

• Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Generally safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but consult a doctor or pharmacist if uncertain.

• Storage: Store below 25 °C, keep out of sight and reach of children and do not use after the expiry date on the packaging.

Possible Side Effects

• Mild Irritation: Occasionally, some users may experience temporary redness, stinging, itching or minor irritation at the application site, especially on very sensitive skin.

• Allergic Reaction: In rare cases, allergic contact dermatitis may develop; if severe rash, swelling or significant irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek advice from a doctor, nurse or pharmacist.

If symptoms persist, worsen or do not improve with regular emollient use, or if signs of infection occur (such as warmth, discharge or spreading redness), consult a healthcare professional promptly.
