Morphology

eucerin + anhydrous

The phrase is compositionally built from a brand name 'Eucerin' and the adjective 'anhydrous' meaning 'without water', so its meaning ('a water‑free Eucerin product/ointment') follows directly from the constituents. Even though 'Eucerin' is a proper noun (brand), a learner who knows both parts can readily infer this denotes a water‑free topical product.

Etymology

Eucerin anhydrous is a name for a thick, water-free ointment base; anhydrous means 'without water'. Imagine a heavy cream that does not have water so it stays on the skin to protect and keep moisture in. That's why it is used as a base for medicated ointments.
