Jessica allergic reaction 2026-04-08T08:13:31 2026-04-08

last night Jessica Louise Hodgetts had quite a strong allergic reaction to Epimax moisturising cream (orange label). Cream use applied to hand which then went red instantly. Jess said it was stinging and hurt (it made her cry). Cold water soothed, then washed off cream and applied sudacrem which reduced the reaction. Hands went very red, clear line on wrist where cream had stopped.

Google report the "reactions are often caused by sensitivity to ingredients such as lanolin, cetostearyl alcohol, or hydroxybenzoates"

Ingredients in cream, eliminate safe ingredients:

  • White soft paraffin 14.5% w/w
  • light liquid paraffin 12.6% w/w
  • anhydrous lanolin 1% w/w
  • glyceryl monostearate
  • cetostearyl alcohol
  • PEG-40 caster oil
  • sodium cetostearyl sulphate
  • hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer
  • methyl hydroxybenzoate
  • propyl hydroxybenzoate
  • sodium hydroxide
  • citric acid monohydrate
  • water
