REPAIR, RESTORE, AND REVIVE DRY SKIN WITH THE EPI-MAX® ORIGINAL RANGE OF EMOLLIENT PRODUCTS
The Epi-max® original range of emollient products (yellow lid) is suitable for people of all ages and skin types and in dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
WHAT IS DRY SKIN?
Dry skin is a very common condition that occurs at all ages and may be experienced by everyone at some point. The most often affected areas are the lower legs, arms, flanks (sides of the abdomen), and thighs. Dry skin causes discomfort and can be painful and embarrassing.1
WHY DO PEOPLE GET DRY SKIN?
Dry skin occurs more often in winter when humidity levels are low, resulting in skin moisture loss.1
Other factors that contribute to dry skin are:
• Inherited factors e.g. ichthyosis, which is a genetic disease (also called fish-scale skin)
• Eczema
• Metabolic factors e.g. underactive thyroid
• Increasing age, due to loss of oil glands as we age
• Frequent (hot) bathing, showering or swimming
•Use of harsh soaps and detergents

KEY INGREDIENTS:
All ingredients used in Epi-max® products are carefully researched and tested.
Each formula contains only the gentlest ingredients shown to soothe, calm and hydrate while effectively cleansing the skin.
Glycerine is a humectant that improves the skin’s barrier function by preventing water loss and keeps the skin hydrated, soft and supple.2
Cetomacrogol is a non-ionic surfactant of the polyethylene glycol family. It is used as a solubilizer and emulsifying agentin cosmetics3
Sorbitol found in the new body wash is a prebiotic ingredient that helps feed the naturally-occurring bacteria on the skin. When the balance of the microbiome is affected by over-washing, harsh products or illness, a weakened skin barrier and decreased resilience to infection may result.4
Epi-Max® products are not tested on animals and are available from Dis-Chem, Clicks, independent pharmacies and leading online and retail stores.
