Oilatum

Managing dry and eczema-prone skin

Emollients are the foundation of caring for dry and eczema-prone skin — they moisturise, soften and help protect the skin barrier. Oilatum bath additives add a soothing layer of oil to bathwater, creams moisturise directly, and the soap bar replaces ordinary soap that can dry the skin. Apply creams generously and often. Take care getting in and out of the bath, as bath oils make surfaces slippery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Oilatum bath additive?

Add the recommended amount to a warm (not hot) bath and soak as directed. Pat skin dry gently and moisturise afterwards. Baths and surfaces become slippery, so take care.

Is Oilatum suitable for babies?

Oilatum Junior is formulated for babies and children with dry or eczema-prone skin. Check the product for age suitability.

When should I see a doctor?

See your GP or pharmacist if skin is very inflamed, cracked, weeping or infected, or if eczema isn't controlled with emollients — prescription treatments are available.
