Epi-Max Baby & Junior Cream 100g is a hypo-allergenic, dermatologist-tested emollient moisturiser designed for the whole family, from newborns through to adults. It's a leave-on cream that hydrates and softens skin, with a rich but non-greasy texture that also doubles as a water-soluble soap substitute — so a single tube can cover both moisturising and gentle washing in your daily routine.
It's fragrance-free and colourant-free, which is often what parents are looking for when choosing a simple cream for baby's skin as well as their own dry-skin days. According to the manufacturer, this cetomacrogol and glycerine emollient is suitable for all skin types and dry skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.
A moisturiser that doubles as a soap substitute
The formula is water-soluble, which means it can be used in place of soap when washing rather than only applied afterwards. That versatility makes it a practical option if you prefer to keep bath-time products to a minimum, or want the same gentle formulation for cleansing and moisturising.
Rich texture without the greasy feel
Even though it's a rich cream, it's formulated to absorb without leaving a heavy, greasy residue — helpful in warmer South African weather, where a sticky finish can feel uncomfortable on little ones.
Key Ingredients
| Glycerol (glycerine) |
What it does: Acts as a humectant that draws water toward the skin. Why it works: It helps skin hold on to moisture, contributing to the cream's softening, hydrating feel. |
| Soft White & Liquid Paraffin |
What it does: Work as occlusives that sit on the skin's surface. Why it works: They help reduce moisture loss, which is what gives the cream its emollient, dry-skin-friendly character. |
| Cetomacrogol 1000 |
What it does: Binds the oil and water phases into a stable emulsion. Why it works: It's part of what makes the cream water-soluble, allowing it to double as a soap substitute. |
How to Use
The cream can be used in more than one way:
- As a moisturiser: Apply to the skin as needed, and as often as daily, to hydrate and soften.
- As a soap substitute: Because it's water-soluble, it can be used in place of soap when washing the skin.
