What is Oilatum Shower Gel?
Oilatum Shower Gel is a gentle, soap-free cleanser designed for people with dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin. It cleanses the body without stripping away natural oils, making it ideal for daily use. Unlike regular body washes, it contains emollients that help soften and protect the skin’s barrier while reducing dryness and irritation.
How does it work?
Oilatum Shower Gel works by combining cleansing agents with emollient ingredients that hydrate and protect the skin. It does not contain soap or harsh foaming agents, which means it doesn’t dry out the skin or disrupt its natural moisture balance. The emollients leave a thin protective film on the skin, helping to lock in hydration and reduce itching and flaking.
How to use Oilatum Shower Gel
- Use in place of your regular shower gel or body wash
- Apply directly to wet skin or use a soft washcloth or sponge
- Gently massage into the skin and rinse off
- Pat skin dry with a towel — avoid rubbing
- For best results, apply a moisturiser such as Oilatum Cream afterwards
Who can use it?
Oilatum Shower Gel is suitable for adults and children. It is ideal for people with dry or eczema-prone skin who need a gentle alternative to regular soap or perfumed body washes. It can be used as part of a daily skincare routine or during flare-ups to relieve itching and tightness.
