Emulsifying Ointment BP 500g

Emulsifying Ointment BP 500g 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.

Benefits & Features:

• Treat dry skin conditions, such as eczema and dermatitis
• Can be used as an ointment or instead of soap
• Relieve the symptoms of dry skin conditions, such as cracked, scaly and itchy skin
• Soothing, softening and moisturising effect

How to use:

• As a skin moisturiser: Apply to skin as often as required
• As a soap substitute cleanser: Apply to skin, massage gently and rinse well. Alternatively use a warm flannel and rinse
• As a bath additive: Melt in hot water in a suitable container, then add mixture to the bath

Dry Skin occurs when the outer layer of skin cells do not retain as much water as they should do, effectively allowing the skin to become dehydrated. When this happens, the skin becomes cracked and flaky, and can sometimes cause itchiness, an uncomfortable and sometimes consuming side effect. The likelihood of suffering from dry skin is made worse from excessive washing and bathing as this removes the layer of natural oils that are found on the skin’s surface. Once you have started to use this product regularly, you should start to see your skin become smoother, softer and more flexible due to the increase in moisture that your skin will be retaining.
