Oilatum Dry Skin Cream and Bathing Products

Light liquid paraffin is a substance that you might also know as mineral oil.

Light liquid paraffin is often used in emollients to create a protective barrier over the skin, helping to keep moisture locked into the skin.

It can also help to protect sensitive skin from irritants with this barrier, helping to keep your skin from reacting to soaps, detergents, or other things that aggravate your dry skin condition.

All Oilatum Junior products are perfect for babies from the very first day, making them perfect for even your littlest little one.

Some regular Oilatum products may be suitable for children as well as adults, but make sure that you speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using a product on your child if you are ever unsure.

Eczema can break out anywhere on the body but it's most common in the following areas:

• Knees
• Elbows
• Neck
• Hands
• Cheeks
• Scalp

Emollients and moisturisers help to ease your eczema symptoms by hydrating your skin, helping to keep your skin soft and controlling your flare-ups.

Emollients work by forming a protective layer over your skin which helps to keep moisture from escaping, hydrating your skin from the inside out.

Some emollients also contain ingredients which can protect your skin from irritants like soap or detergents, taking a two-pronged approach to managing your eczema flare-ups.
