Information
AproDerm Ointment is designed for sensitive skin and does not contain ingredients that could potentially cause irritation or allergies, such as SLS, parabens, cetostearyl alcohol, fragrance, or colours. These ingredients are known to irritate or sensitize the skin, so by excluding them, AproDerm Ointment helps reduce the chance of skin reactions.

Active Ingredient
White Soft Paraffin 95%, Liquid Paraffin 5%
Dosage
- For external use only
- To apply, use a clean spoon to scoop out the required amount, this avoids contamination of the ointment. AproDerm Ointment should be applied regularly, liberally and frequently to the affected area, using gentle, downward strokes, following the direction of hair growth. Rubbing should be avoided as this can cause further irritation and itching (by generating heat) and can also cause folliculitis (as a result of blocking the hair follicles and causing their inflammation).
- Frequency of application will be determined by severity of the condition and whether more than one emollient is being used. As a general guide, it is recommended that AproDerm Ointment is applied as often as required as well as being used as a pre-bathing emollient to help alleviate the drying effects of bathing.
- Patients should take caution when using ointment before bathing as bathroom surfaces can become slippery. AproDerm Ointment should also be applied after bathing to skin that is almost dry.
- Can be used at anytime of the day, however, if a patient finds the greasy formulation less cosmetically acceptable during the day it can be applied at night time and complemented with another emollient cream or gel during the day
Warnings
- Do not use if the tamper-evident seal is damaged or missing.
- Consult your doctor or pharmacist if your skin is bleeding, infected, broken, or badly cracked.
- Paraffin-based emollients can be a fire hazard. Keep away from naked flames, ignition sources, and avoid smoking when using this product. Fabrics (clothing, bedding, dressings) that have been in contact with this product can ignite more easily when near a naked flame. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but will not completely remove it.
- AproDerm Ointment should not be used if the patient has a known allergy or sensitivity to any of the listed ingredients
- As with all emollients, before applying AproDerm Ointment for the first time, patients should test it on a small area of skin and leave for 48 hours. If there is no reaction or irritation they can then apply all over the affected area. This limits any potential reaction to a small area.
