💡 Quick Answer — What is Emolene Cream?
Emolene Cream contains urea 10% + propylene glycol — a topical emollient and skin-barrier moisturiser for dry skin, atopic dermatitis (eczema), ichthyosis, xerosis of ageing, and post-inflammatory dryness. Apply liberally 2–4 times daily, particularly after bathing while skin is still damp. Continue indefinitely for chronic dry-skin conditions; reduces flare rate by ~50%. Emollients are the foundation of dry-skin and eczema management — they are not a “treatment” of inflammation but reduce baseline severity and steroid requirement.

What Emolene Cream is and how it works
Emolene Cream contains urea 10% + propylene glycol. Urea is a natural humectant — it draws water into the stratum corneum and softens hyperkeratotic skin. At 10% concentration, it is mildly keratolytic and useful for thickened dry skin (palms, soles, heels). Propylene glycol acts as a co-solvent and humectant. Manufacturer: GSK (WHO-GMP certified).
Indicaties
- Dry skin (xerosis) — generalised or focal.
- Atopic dermatitis (eczema) — daily emollient is the foundation of management; reduces flare frequency by ~50% and reduces topical steroid requirements.
- Ichthyosis — congenital and acquired.
- Hyperkeratotic skin — palms, soles, heels (urea-based formulations).
- Post-inflammatory dryness — after eczema flare, sunburn, peel, or laser.
- Senile xerosis — age-related skin dryness.
Hoe aan te vragen
- Apply liberally 2–4 times daily, including immediately after bathing while skin is still damp (locks in moisture).
- Use generous amounts — adults typically need 250–500 g per week for whole-body eczema management.
- Apply in the direction of hair growth to reduce folliculitis.
- Soap-substitute use: also use Emolene Cream as a cleanser (avoid foaming soaps that strip natural lipids).
- For heel and elbow hyperkeratosis: apply at night, occlude with cotton socks/gloves overnight.
Bijwerkingen
- Very rare: contact dermatitis to a fragrance or preservative excipient (rare with emollients).
- Folliculitis: can occur with occlusive heavy emollients — apply in direction of hair growth and avoid overuse on hairy areas.
- Greasy clothing/bedding stains: particularly with paraffin-based emollients — wear cotton; the staining is harmless.
⚠️ Paraffin emollients & flammability — Paraffin-based emollients (white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin) are flammable. Patients using large amounts on bedding or clothing should avoid open flames and smoking — there are reported cases of clothing or bedding fires in heavy emollient users. Wash clothes and bedding regularly to remove residue.
Contra-indicaties
- Known hypersensitivity to formulation excipients (very rare).
- Open infected wounds (use medical-grade dressings instead).
Zwangerschap & borstvoeding
Emollients are safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. They are the preferred dry-skin treatment in this context. Avoid breast/nipple before feeding.

Veelgestelde vragen
How is Emolene Cream different from a regular moisturiser?
Therapeutic emollients are formulated for damaged or compromised skin barriers — higher lipid content, fewer fragrances, gentler preservatives, and a clinically-evidenced role in eczema management. Cosmetic moisturisers are for normal skin and may contain irritants.
How much do I need?
Adults with whole-body eczema typically need 250–500 g per week — much more than people initially apply. Underuse is the main cause of perceived emollient failure.
Should I apply moisturiser before or after my steroid?
Both work. The current consensus: apply the steroid to the inflamed area FIRST (so it reaches the skin), wait 15 minutes, then moisturise. Some prefer moisturiser first → wait 15 min → steroid. Avoid mixing them in the hand before application — this dilutes the steroid.
Can Emolene Cream replace topical steroids?
No — emollients reduce flare rate by ~50% and reduce steroid need, but do not treat active inflammation. Active flares need topical steroid or calcineurin inhibitor.
Is Emolene Cream safe for babies?
Yes — emollients are first-line for infant atopic dermatitis. Apply liberally, several times a day, especially after bathing.
How long after applying can I dress?
5–10 minutes. Wear cotton clothing — synthetic fabrics trap heat and worsen eczema.
My skin feels greasy — am I using too much?
A film of emollient is intentional. If your skin still feels dry after 30 minutes, you need MORE emollient, not less. If it feels uncomfortably greasy, switch to a lighter formulation.
Can I use Emolene Cream on my face?
Yes — but lighter formulations are usually more cosmetically acceptable on face. Heavy paraffins can cause folliculitis on facial skin.
Why must I apply after bathing?
Bathing removes the natural skin lipids; applying emollient on damp skin within 3 minutes locks in moisture and partially restores the barrier. Bathing without emollient afterwards worsens dry skin.
Can I use Emolene Cream as a soap substitute?
Yes — and it is recommended for severe dry skin and eczema. Replace foaming soaps and shower gels with emollient as a cleanser; foaming detergents strip lipids and worsen barrier dysfunction.
