Oilatum Emollient 500ml is a highly effective, lightly fragranced bath additive and skin cleanser, specifically formulated to help manage and relieve dry, itchy, and sensitive skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Its unique formula helps restore the skin's natural moisture barrier, providing comfort and protection for the whole family.

Description

When skin lacks water in its outer layers, it can become dry, flaky, and uncomfortable. Oilatum Emollient 500ml works by forming a protective, emollient layer on the skin's surface, which significantly reduces water loss and locks in essential moisture. This helps to rehydrate and soothe red, inflamed, or chapped skin, leaving it feeling softer, smoother, and less itchy. It's an excellent choice for those experiencing general itching due to dry skin.

How Oilatum Emollient Works for Dry Skin

  • Replenishes Moisture: The active ingredient, Light Liquid Paraffin, creates a barrier that prevents moisture evaporation from the skin.
  • Reduces Itching & Flaking: By hydrating the skin, Oilatum Emollient 500ml helps to alleviate the common symptoms of dry skin, including discomfort from itching and the appearance of flaking.
  • Gentle Cleansing: Unlike harsh soaps and shower gels that can strip natural oils, Oilatum Emollient 500ml can be used as a soap substitute for gentle, non-irritating cleansing. This makes it ideal for daily use, even on very sensitive skin.

Suitable for adults, including the elderly, and infants under supervision, Oilatum Emollient 500ml is a versatile addition to your skincare routine. Adding it regularly to your bath or using it as a direct skin cleanser ensures full-body coverage, promoting healthy, hydrated skin from head to toe.
