Oilatum Cream soothes irritation and moisturises dry skin. It also coats the skin with a moisture-retaining film to protect it from further dryness. Oilatum Cream is suitable for all dry skin conditions and especially eczema, on areas of irritation caused by dermatitis, and to treat ichthyosis. It is particularly useful to rehydrate dry hands after washing or using water. Washing disturbs the normal acid condition of the skin, and reduces the sebum (or oil) level. Oilatum Cream helps restore the normal skin balance. It is convenient to carry with you in a handbag, case, school bag or pocket.
