Description

Oilatum Plus Emollient Bath Additive 500ml works by creating a protective, emollient film on the surface of your skin. This film helps to lock in moisture, offering lasting hydration and a barrier against external irritants. Its unique triple-action formula contains:

Together, these active ingredients work to soothe skin prone to itching, reduce irritation, and promote healthier skin. Oilatum Plus Emollient Bath Additive 500ml is suitable for use by adults, children, and babies over 6 months old, offering a gentle yet effective solution for sensitive skin needs, including conditions like contact sensitisation, atopic sensitisation, and senile pruritus.
