At The Family Chemist, we understand how important daily comfort is for eczema-prone skin. That’s why we offer Oilatum, available as a 500g cream. This dermatologically trusted emollient helps provide soothing, effective care to keep your skin calm, nourished, and protected.
What is Oilatum?
Oilatum Cream is a non-greasy emollient specially formulated to treat and soothe eczema, dermatitis, and other dry skin conditions. It works by forming a protective barrier over the skin to lock in moisture, soften rough patches, and relieve irritation.
This cream is fragrance-free and lanolin-free, making it a gentle option for all skin types, including babies and those prone to allergies or sensitivity. Its smooth, easily absorbed texture makes it ideal for frequent application throughout the day, particularly after washing or bathing when skin is most vulnerable to drying out.
Suitable for daily use, and also for use by adults, and infants alike. Safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, avoid applying cream directly to the breast area if breastfeeding.
