Description
Oilatum Cream is an emollient (softening, soothing agent) used in the treatment of eczema and related dry skin conditions. Oilatum Cream forms a protective film which moisturises, soothes, softens and rehydrates the skin. It is especially effective after washing. It is suitable for people allergic to lanolin.
Oilatum Cream is suitable for adults and children.
How to Use
Apply to the affected area. Use as often as required or as directed by your pharmacist or doctor. Oilatum Cream is especially effective if applied immediately after washing, to counteract the loss of essential oils from the skin.
