What is Oilatum Cream?
Oilatum Cream is a moisturising cream that is used to treat eczema. It helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, relieving the symptoms of dry, itchy, and inflamed skin associated with eczema. The cream is easily absorbed and forms a protective barrier on the skin, preventing further moisture loss.
What is Oilatum Cream used for?
Oilatum Cream is primarily used for the treatment of eczema. It is suitable for both adults and children, providing relief from the discomfort and irritation caused by eczema. In addition to eczema, Oilatum Cream may also be used to alleviate dry and sensitive skin conditions.
How does Oilatum Cream work?
Oilatum Cream contains two active ingredients: light liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin. These ingredients work by forming an occlusive layer on the skin, which helps to prevent water loss and maintain hydration. This protective barrier also helps to reduce inflammation and itching, providing relief from the symptoms of eczema.
Who is Oilatum Cream suitable for?
Oilatum Cream is suitable for individuals who are experiencing the symptoms of eczema, including dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can be used by both adults and children, making it a versatile treatment option for the whole family. However, it is important to consult a doctor or pharmacist before using Oilatum Cream on infants or young children.
