AproDerm Ointment

Fontus Health

Description

AproDerm Ointment is an intensely moisturising, occlusive, leave-on emollient that is suitable from birth and free from preservatives, common sensitisers and irritants. Providing long-lasting hydration as a result of its high oil content, AproDerm Ointment soothes, moisturises, protects and enhances the skin barrier. This vegan-friendly and cruelty-free ointment can be used throughout the day, however if a patient finds the greasy formulation cosmetically unacceptable it can be applied at night time and complemented with another emollient during the day. Particularly great for overnight use and for hand eczema, AproDerm Ointment contains white soft paraffin 95% and liquid paraffin 5%. The 500g ointment pot now comes with two free handy spatulas (dishwasher-safe) to decant the ointment, so that patients do not use their fingers to remove it from the pot and potentially infect the contents.

Indications

Suitable from birth for moderate to severe eczema, psoriasis and other very dry skin conditions including hand eczema.
