Epaderm Ointment is a 3-in-1 emollient that can be used directly on the skin, in the bath or as a skin cleanser. Also, this product Epaderm ointment is a moisturiser made of emulsifying wax, liquid paraffin, and yellow soft paraffin. Lack of moisture in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin cells, causes dry skin. This layer loses it's flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly, and even irritating when it is dehydrated. Epaderm makes an effort to restore moisture to the afflicted areas while also reducing discomfort and itching impulses.
