Silcock's Base 500g

Ultrapure Silcock’s Base cream in a 500g tub is a traditional skin cream with a high lipid cream containing 20% w/w White Soft Paraffin which helps retain moisture in the skin by reducing the rate of normal evaporation. Ultrapure Silcock’s Base can be used as both a skin moisturiser and soap substitute cleanser for the face and body and prevents itching or flaking skin due to dryness.

Dry skin is when your skin dries out because it doesn’t have enough moisture.

Types of Dry Skin:

• Athlete’s foot: If your feet feel dry, it could actually be athlete’s foot. This condition, which results from a fungus, can make the soles of your feet dry and flaky.
• Contact dermatitis: Sometimes things that touch your skin cause an allergic reaction. Your skin could get dry, itchy, and red. You might also get a rash. It can happen with things like makeup products, medications, detergents, or metal in jewelry (nickel).
• Eczema (atopic dermatitis): If you have dry, red, and itchy parts of your skin, you could have eczema. This can make your skin crack, too. You can get this skin condition from your parents, but things like allergens, stress, and other irritants can make it worse.
• Seborrheic dermatitis: When your scalp is too dry, you can get dandruff. (It’s called cradle cap when babies get it.) You might have dry, flaky skin on your arms, legs, groin, face, ears, or near your bellybutton, too.

Dry Skin Symptoms:

• Cracked skin (the cracks could be deep and bleed)
• Itching
• Peeling, flaking, or scaling
• Redness
• Skin that feels rough or is gray and ashy
• Skin that feels tight, especially after you’ve been in the water (bathing, showering, or swimming)
