Why exederm
A Hydrocortisone Eczema Cream Formulated With Sensitive Skin in Mind
The 'base' cream or ointment to which the active ingredient is added can vary widely from brand to brand. Too often, other brands' bases contain potential irritants such as paraben preservatives or unnecessary botanical additives.
Most drugstore products are formulated for the average person with a skin rash from insect bites, stings or poison ivy. These products have been designed to treat a one-off problem for someone who does not have overly sensitive skin.
We believe that people with eczema, dermatitis and sensitive skin are different. Eczema-prone skin can be especially sensitive to potential irritants and allergens. That's why exederm Hydrocortisone Cream for Eczema Flare Control is formulated without parabens or cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), ingredients that can cause allergic contact dermatitis in people who are sensitive to them.
Putting a "Gold Standard" active ingredient into anything less than a "Gold Standard" base simply doesn't make sense.
exederm Hydrocortisone Cream for Eczema Flare Control contains:
- No Fragrance
- No Color or Dyes
- No Parabens
- No SLS or SLES
- No Propylene Glycol
- No Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)
- No Lanolin
- No formaldehyde
