Emulsifying Ointment BP 100g

Emulsifying Ointment BP 100g contains a blend of paraffin oils to hydrate and soften all skin types, especially dry skin. Formulated without fragrances, preservatives or colours, it gently soothes as a moisturiser when applied directly on the skin or cleanses as a soap substitute or bath additive. It is greasy and sticky, and leaves a thin layer of oil on the surface of the skin that stops water evaporating. Resulting in a soothing, softening and moisturising effect.

Used regularly it will help restore the skin's softness and flexibility. Made up of a mixture of paraffin oils, this greasy moisturiser provides a layer of oil on the skin surface to prevent water evaporation. The ointment helps to moisturise your skin and stop it drying out because soaps, shower gels and bubble baths can all dry out your skin.

Dry skin is an uncomfortable condition marked by scaling, itching, and cracking. It can occur for a variety of reasons. You might have naturally dry skin. But even if your skin tends to be oily, you can develop dry skin from time to time. Dry skin can affect any part of your body. It commonly affects hands, arms, and legs.

Exposure to dry weather conditions, hot water, and certain chemicals can cause your skin to dry out. Dry skin can also result from underlying medical conditions. Dermatitis is the medical term for extremely dry skin. There are several different types of dermatitis. Contact dermatitis develops when your skin reacts to something it touches, causing localized inflammation.  Seborrheic dermatitis occurs when your skin produces too much oil. It results in a red and scaly rash, usually on your scalp. This type of dermatitis is common in infants. Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. It’s a chronic skin condition that causes dry scaly patches to appear on your skin. It’s common among young children.
