Paraffin-based emollient and soap substitute

Description

Hydromol Ointment 500g is a highly occlusive, soft emollient ointment formulated with cetomacrogol emulsifying wax, yellow soft paraffin and liquid paraffin to hydrate, soften and protect very dry, itchy and eczema-prone skin. Free from added fragrances, colours, preservatives and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), it is suitable for sensitive skin and all ages. Hydromol Ointment can be used as a leave-on emollient, a bath additive, or a soap substitute to help restore the skin barrier and reduce trans-epidermal water loss in conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, ichthyosis and other dry skin disorders.

Bnefits

3-in-1 use: can be applied as a leave-on emollient, used as a bath additive, or as a soap substitute.
Free from added fragrances, colours and preservatives, helping to minimise irritation for sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
Does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), making it suitable for people who are sensitive or allergic to this surfactant.
Steroid-free option for ongoing management in between or alongside prescribed anti-inflammatory treatments.
Suitable for all ages, including children, where emollient therapy is required under appropriate supervision.
Can be used under wet wraps or as a night-time treatment for very dry or thickened skin.
