EpiCeram® Skin Barrier Emulsion is a steroid free, fragrance free, ceramide dominant emulsion containing ceramide, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and cholesterol in a 3:1:1 ratio, respectively, in an emollient base. These lipids mimic those commonly found in skin. EpiCeram is used to treat dry skin conditions and to manage and relieve the burning and itching associated with various types of dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis (allergic and/or irritant), and radiation dermatitis. EpiCeram helps to relieve dry, waxy skin by maintaining a moist environment which aids the healing process.
A substance (e.g., gel, ointment) intended to be topically applied to injured/diseased skin to expedite healing and re-epithelialization primarily through semi-occlusive properties which reduce moisture transmission from the skin to the environment by means of a physical barrier; it may also prevent abnormal scar formation and does not include an antimicrobial agent(s). It is intended for home/healthcare facility use to treat open skin wounds and/or conditions such as lacerations, burns, surgical wounds, radiation dermatitis, and inflammation. After application, this device cannot be reused.
