Aqueous Cream

Aqueous Cream – Emollient Wash

Updated guidance: Aqueous Cream is now recommended for use as an emollient wash rather than as a leave-on moisturising cream. For daily skin hydration, our alternative product is Flexitol Moisturising Cream.

Aqueous Cream helps relieve the symptoms of dry skin conditions and can be used in place of soap to gently cleanse the skin without removing its natural protective oils.

As we age, the skin loses moisture more easily. Washing with hot water and regular soap can make dryness worse by stripping away the natural oil barrier. Using Aqueous Cream as a wash helps maintain this barrier and keeps skin soft and supple.

This light, non-greasy emollient is made from emulsifying ointment (which contains emulsifying wax, liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin) blended with water and preserved with phenoxyethanol. It cleanses while leaving behind a fine layer of oil that prevents water loss and protects the skin’s surface.

Directions for use:

• Adults, the elderly and children: Apply to the affected area as required.
• Use as a soap substitute when washing the skin.
• Do not use between the toes.
