Creams

Recommended skin creams are paraffin-based or aqueous moisturising creams. These should be in a form that can be used without cross-contamination between users (i.e. in a dispenser, or each member of staff has their own supply). Moisturisers should be applied to all parts of the skin.

Your wholesaler or local pharmacy should be able to supply creams.
