EpiCeram

EpiCeram is a skin-barrier-repair emulsion that offers non-steroidal therapy for patients with eczema and atopic dermatitis. EpiCeram helps repair and heal the skin barrier through a unique mechanism of action not commonly found in other medications. It contains the skin’s natural level of essential lipids: ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids, which are reduced in patients with eczema and atopic dermatitis (AD). EpiCeram is steroid-free, fragrance-free, noncomedogenic, paraben-free, and propylene glycol-free.

How EpiCeram Works?

EpiCeram nourishes the skin environment to benefit the healing process in patients with Atopic Dermatitis. The unique MultiSal Encapsulation Delivery Technology is based on a unique proprietary system consisting of multi-component microspheres that contain submicron spheres. These submicron spheres are infused with the physiological lipid in an active form. Rubbing the emulsion onto the skin triggers this two-step delivery system. Once the microsphere is broken the submicron spheres gradually deliver the physiological lipids over time. The special microsphere structure stabilizes the lipids from premature oxidation, yielding the product at its highest efficacy.

How to Use

Apply in a thin layer to the affected skin areas 2 times per day (or as needed) and massage gently into the skin. If the skin is broken, cover EpiCeram Controlled Release Skin Barrier Emulsion with a dressing of choice.
