Know the Fire Risk - Emollient Skin Products

UK Fire and Rescue Services, in partnership with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), and health charities, are raising awareness about the hidden fire risks associated with emollient skin creams. These creams, commonly used for conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, can build up on fabrics like clothing and bedding. When dried on, they create a highly flammable combination, which can ignite easily and burn rapidly, posing a severe risk of injury or death. Alarmingly, the risk exists regardless of whether the creams contain paraffin.
