Active substance-free, hydrophilic anionic cream (O/W cream) for external use. For less inflammatory forms of atopic eczema. Apply thinly 1-2 times/day to the affected skin areas. Preservation should be with sorbic acid 0.1% or methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate 0.06% and propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate 0.04% (possible)! Better: Sorbic acid 0.05%, potassium sorbate 0.07%, EDTA 0.05%.

Is used for the incorporation of active substances. The cream base can be diluted up to 5 times with water. This changes the original cream character into an anionic lotion.

Inactivation or breaking of the emulsion due to ionic incompatibility: aluminium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, calcium chloride, chloro-, oxy- and tetracycline hydrochloride, gentamycin sulfate, clotrimazole etc.

Risk of sensitization: Cetylstearyl alcohol

Usage period: Tube: 12 months (= preserved); Dispenser: 6 months (= preserved)
