What is Oilatum Cream?

Oilatum Cream is a moisturising emollient designed to treat dry skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. It helps to soothe itching, reduce flakiness, and restore the skin's natural barrier. The cream is suitable for adults and children, including babies over 1 year, and is especially helpful for people with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

How does it work?

Oilatum Cream contains light liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin, which form a protective film on the skin's surface. This barrier locks in moisture and prevents further irritation or dryness. By hydrating the outer layer of the skin, it helps relieve itching and scaling, making it easier for damaged skin to repair itself. The cream is free from soap and fragrance, making it gentle enough for daily use.

How to use Oilatum Cream

  • Apply to affected areas 2-4 times daily, or as often as needed
  • Use after bathing while skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture
  • Suitable for use on the face and body
  • Can be used alongside other emollient treatments and bath products

Who can use it?

Oilatum Cream is suitable for adults, children, and babies aged 1 year and over. It is especially helpful for people with eczema, contact dermatitis, or dry, flaky skin caused by environmental triggers. Always speak to your GP or pharmacist before use on infants under 1 year old.

Warnings and precautions

  • For external use only
  • Avoid contact with eyes
  • Discontinue use if irritation or allergic reaction occurs
  • Keep away from open flames - contains paraffin, which is flammable
