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]

The product contains paraffin (a fire accelerant) and can generate fire risks. It has been associated with deaths from fire and, from 2017, will carry a flammability warning.[2]
