It is used to moisturise and protect dry skin and to manage eczema and dermatitis.
How it works
It forms a protective layer that traps moisture in the skin and reduces itching.
How to use it
Apply generously and often, at least twice a day and after washing, smoothing in the direction of hair growth. It can also be used as a soap substitute. Always read the instructions before use.
Before you use it
Keep away from naked flames, as emollients can soak into fabric and make it easier to catch fire.
Possible side effects
Rarely, it can cause stinging or irritation.
