Overview & Mechanism of Action
- Oilatum Soap (100g bar) is engineered to provide gentle cleansing without stripping the natural oils of compromised or dry skin:
- Emollient & Lipid Replenishment (Light Liquid Paraffin): Deposits a thin, protective occlusive film of mineral lipids over the stratum corneum during washing. This layer locks in moisture, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and soothes dry, itchy skin.
- Non-Stripping Cleansing Formula: Formulated with mild surfactants that lift dirt and impurities without disrupting the delicate cutaneous acid mantle or washing away essential epidermal lipids.
- Soothes Pruritus & Barrier Irritation: Helps reduce the roughness, cracking, and scaling associated with dry skin conditions and eczema, restoring skin softness and suppleness.
Clinical Indications & Benefits
- Oilatum Soap 100g is indicated for:
- Daily cleansing of dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin in adults, children, and infants
- Soothing itchy, irritated, or flaky skin caused by environmental stressors, cold weather, or harsh soaps
- Maintaining skin barrier hydration and softness in atopic dermatitis and chronic dry skin conditions
Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions
Administration:
- Wet hands or body with warm water. Work the soap into a gentle lather using hands or a soft cloth. Apply gently to skin, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft towel (avoid harsh rubbing).
Precautions & Warnings:
- For external dermatological use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water immediately. Discontinue use if localized rash or irritation occurs. Store in a cool, dry soap dish that allows proper drainage to prolong bar usage. Keep out of reach of children.
