How to Use
- Apply liberally to clean, dry skin as often as needed throughout the day.

Who Can Use E45?
Suitable for the whole family — babies aged 3 months and over, children, and adults. Speak to your pharmacist if:

Pharmacist's Note
E45 is one of the most reliable everyday moisturisers we recommend, particularly for families managing eczema or generally dry, sensitive skin. Because it's fragrance-free and free from preservatives and colours, it tends to be very well tolerated, even on babies' skin. The key with any emollient like this is consistency — applying regularly, ideally just after a bath or shower while the skin is still a little damp, makes a real difference to how well it locks in moisture.
