Does Eucerin cream contain lanolin?

Which Eucerin cream do you mean?

Eucerin's US range includes Original Healing Rich Cream, Advanced Repair Cream, Eczema Relief Cream and Skin Calming Cream, which makes "the Eucerin cream" more of a shortlist than a product name. If you mean the US Original Healing Rich Cream 16 oz jar, look for that full name when checking ingredients; AtopiControl Cream's ingredient list is not a substitute.2

AtopiControl Cream lists Lanolin Alcohol

The Eucerin AtopiControl Cream ingredient list includes Lanolin Alcohol. That is the exact wording to look for on the pack, not just the standalone word "lanolin". AtopiControl Cream is a rich body cream intended for specific areas such as elbow folds and the backs of knees. Its fragrance free description does not change the Lanolin Alcohol entry.1

The UK range uses the name AtoControl, while the cream above is named AtopiControl, giving one syllable more responsibility than seems reasonable. Match the full product name and country before using an ingredient list to make your decision.13

How to check your own jar or tube

1. 1Read the full product name on your jar or tube, including whether it is a cream or lotion.
2. 2Find the complete ingredient list on the packaging and look for Lanolin Alcohol.
3. 3Use the packaging list if it differs from the website. Eucerin updates ingredients regularly and tells customers to check the information on their product packaging.

What about Eucerin pH5 Cream?

Do not assume pH5 Cream is free of lanolin simply because its highlighted ingredients are Dexpanthenol and Citrate Buffer. Those highlights are not a complete ingredient list. Check the packaging before choosing pH5 Cream specifically to avoid an ingredient.14

If you are checking because of an allergy

Eucerin offers an ingredient database for checking ingredients when you have an intolerance or allergy. If you are unsure whether Lanolin Alcohol is relevant to your allergy, ask a pharmacist or dermatologist before choosing the cream. Eucerin's pH5 advice identifies redness, swelling and itching as signs of a reaction when trying a new product.45
