What is Zerocream Emollient?
Zerocream is a rich emollient moisturiser used to treat dry, itchy, or inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. It contains a combination of white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin, and emulsifying wax to soften and hydrate the skin while forming a protective barrier. Zerocream helps reduce moisture loss and soothe irritation, making it ideal for daily use.
How does it work?
Zerocream works by creating a barrier on the skin's surface that helps to trap moisture and protect against environmental irritants. The paraffin components provide a long-lasting moisturising effect, while the emulsifying wax ensures the cream spreads easily and stays in place. This helps repair dry or cracked skin, reduce itching, and prevent flare-ups of eczema or dermatitis.

- Apply to clean, dry skin 2-3 times a day or as often as needed
