Oilatum Eczema Bath Additive for Dry Skin Relief

You can manage dry, irritated skin conditions with this gentle bath treatment that helps restore your skin's natural moisture barrier. This eczema bath additive contains light liquid paraffin, which forms a protective layer on your skin to prevent water loss and reduce irritation during bathing.

The 500ml bottle provides multiple treatments for ongoing skin care management. You simply add the recommended amount to your bath water to create a soothing, moisturising soak that helps calm inflamed skin and reduces the discomfort associated with eczema and dermatitis.

How This Emollient Bath Treatment Works

The active ingredient works by creating a thin, protective film over your skin surface when you bathe. This barrier helps prevent excessive water loss through your skin, which is a common problem in eczema and other dry skin conditions.

Unlike soap-based products that can strip natural oils from your skin, this bath additive helps maintain your skin's moisture levels. The emollient properties help soften rough, scaly patches and reduce the itching sensation that often accompanies dry skin conditions.

Who Can Benefit from This Dry Skin Bath Treatment

This product suits adults and children who experience chronic dry skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, and ichthyosis. You may find it particularly helpful if your skin becomes more irritated after bathing with regular products.

The treatment is suitable for people who need gentle, fragrance-free skin care options. Consider exploring our full range of skin care products for comprehensive dry skin management alongside this bath additive.

Safe for daily use on sensitive skin
Suitable for adults and children over 6 months
Compatible with other prescribed eczema treatments
Helps reduce the need for frequent moisturiser application

Why Choose a Preservative-Free Formula

This bath additive contains minimal ingredients to reduce the risk of allergic reactions or skin sensitisation. The simple formulation makes it suitable for people with multiple sensitivities who struggle to find appropriate skin care products.

The absence of fragrances, colours, and unnecessary additives means you can use this product regularly without worrying about cumulative irritation. This approach aligns with dermatological recommendations for managing sensitive skin conditions.

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

You should store this product at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to maintain product stability and prevent contamination.

The product remains effective throughout its shelf life when stored correctly. You can use it as part of your regular bathing routine or as needed during flare-ups of dry skin conditions, following the guidance of your healthcare provider.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Use Your Bath Additive Correctly

You should add one to two capfuls of the product to a standard bath of warm water while the tap is running. This helps distribute the emollient evenly throughout the bath water. Avoid using very hot water, as this can further dry your skin and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

Soak in the bath for 10 to 20 minutes to allow the emollient to coat your skin properly. You do not need to rinse after bathing, as leaving the protective film on your skin provides ongoing moisturising benefits.

Important Safety Considerations During Use

Take extra care when getting in and out of the bath, as the emollient can make surfaces slippery. Consider using a non-slip bath mat for additional safety. Pat your skin dry gently with a soft towel rather than rubbing vigorously, which can irritate sensitive skin.

You can use this product daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. If you notice any worsening of your skin condition or new symptoms, discontinue use and consult your pharmacist or doctor for further advice.
