Specialist skin treatments manufacturer Pern Consumer Products Ltd has selected the 50ml Airless Dispenser from Rieke Dispensing as a handy travel pack for its market leading Dermacool skin cream.

Dermacool has been developed to provide cooling and soothing relief for a variety of itchy skin conditions including mild sunburn, prickly heat and insect bites as well as muscular aches and pains.

The availability of the 50ml size dispenser offers maximum convenience for end users, including meeting current airport security measures that prevent liquids and cream containers over 100ml being carried as hand luggage.

The Department of Health has also selected 50ml size to include on the prescription Drug Tariff, effective from 1st November 2008. GPs and dermatologists often prescribe Dermacool (Menthol in Aqueous Cream) for the treatment of urticaria.

The Airless Dispenser features a non-metal contact construction for excellent product compatibility and a pre-assembled one-piece follower piston. It incorporates a unique valve system that ensures easy and accurate dispense of the product, while a special suckback features pulls product back into the nozzle after each use to provide a clean and hygienic operation and eliminate mess and waste.

The slimline design for Dermacool is finished in white with eye-catching graphics to maximise on-shelf appeal. Top filling of the pack allows fast and simple filling.

“The Rieke Airless Dispenser combines good looks and user-friendly operation and its compact size makes it highly versatile and ideal for all types of uses,” comments Pern Consumer Products managing director Phil Richardson.

“The new pack is making an important contribution to the continual growth and popularity of the Dermacool brand both with consumers and prescribers.”
