To date we have been importing it, the unit cost is peanuts but the carriage, because of the weight is very expensive. At her last meeting with the doctor, he told her he had not heard of Aqueous cream but felt that LIPIKAR seemed to do the same job.    Report

Try searching google.fr for crème émolliente or crème surgrasse. PS: I use Nivea crème.
