E45 cream

E45 is a brand of skin care products from Crookes Healthcare, a subsidiary of Reckitt Benckiser.

In 2016 it was one of the biggest selling branded over-the-counter medications sold in Great Britain, with sales of £35.5 million.[1]

It can generate fire risks, as it contains paraffin, and it has been associated with a number of deaths. From 2017 it will carry a flammability warning. [2]
