Aqueous Cream

Product Details

The term “aqueous cream” describes a category of water-containing cream rather than one universal formula. Ingredients can differ between manufacturers, so the exact label on the supplied tub must be checked before use.

Some formulations contain emulsifying ingredients that may irritate sensitive skin when left on for long periods. Where the label identifies wash-off use, rinse the cream away thoroughly after cleansing.

Do not use the product to conceal worsening redness, swelling, discharge, pain or infection. Obtain medical or veterinary advice when symptoms are unexplained or persistent.

Materials and Safety

The exact ingredient declaration must be taken from the current 500g container because aqueous cream formulations vary. Check the label for emulsifying agents, preservatives and any ingredient associated with a known sensitivity.

• For external use only.
• Do not swallow or allow an animal to lick large amounts.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes and inside the ears.
• Do not apply to deep wounds, burns or infected skin without professional advice.
• Stop use if redness, burning, itching or swelling develops.
• Keep the tub closed and protected from contamination.
• Use clean hands or a clean applicator.
• Keep out of reach of children and unattended animals.
• Check the expiry date and packaging condition before use.

Cream residue can make floors, baths and animal-handling areas slippery. Clean any spills promptly and wash hands after application.

Aqueous cream is not a substitute for an antiseptic, antibiotic, antifungal or anti-inflammatory medicine. Use a treatment product only when it has been selected for the diagnosed condition.

Directions for Use

Follow the directions on the supplied container. For wash-off soap-substitute use, apply a small amount to wet skin, cleanse gently and rinse away thoroughly with clean water.

1. Check that the skin is suitable for the labelled use.
2. Use clean hands or a clean applicator.
3. Apply a small amount to the area being washed.
4. Massage gently without harsh scrubbing.
5. Rinse the product away when used as a soap substitute.
6. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
7. Close the tub immediately after use.

Do not apply the cream to an animal simply because the product is mild or fragrance free. Veterinary skin conditions can look similar while requiring very different treatment.

Seek professional advice if the skin becomes more irritated or if there is pain, heat, swelling, discharge, hair loss or a wound.
