About Hydromol Ointment

Hydromol Ointment is a rich, highly moisturising emollient designed to treat and protect very dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. It works by forming a protective barrier over the skin surface to lock in moisture and prevent further dryness, scaling, and irritation.

Hydromol Ointment contains emulsifying wax, liquid paraffin, and yellow soft paraffin, which help soften the skin, restore hydration, and protect the skin barrier. It can be used regularly as a leave-on moisturiser or as a soap substitute when washing, making it suitable for daily dry skin care.

Hydromol Ointment is suitable for adults, children, and infants and is available in two pack sizes:
