How is bathing in oil better than cream?

It moisturises everywhere at once — including backs and legs that cream never properly reaches — and it stops the bath itself drying skin out. Cream then handles the stubborn patches.

Is it suitable for eczema?

It's made for eczema-prone and dry skin. Active flare-ups still need their treatment — the soak supports, not replaces.

Warm, not hot; 10–15 minutes; pat dry. And mind your step — oil baths are slippery.

Product overview

About Oilatum Moisture Rich Bath Soak

Oilatum's bath-time answer for dry and eczema-prone skin: a moisture-rich soak that turns the water itself into skincare, hydrating and protecting to soothe, soften and relieve dryness while you soak. Triple-action comfort — comfort, nourish, protect — from the brand dermatology departments know by name. 150ml.

Why dry skin loves an oil bath

Plain hot water strips what little oil dry skin has left — the post-bath tightness eczema-prone families know too well. An oil-rich soak reverses the trade: skin comes out of the water more moisturised than it went in, all over, without rubbing cream into protesting patches.

How to use

Add to a warm bath and soak for 10–15 minutes, then pat dry gently — rubbing undoes the good work. Follow with your usual emollient on stubborn areas. Bath will be slippery.

Good to know

Part of the Oilatum family trusted for generations of itchy, eczema-prone skin. Active, weeping or infected eczema needs treatment beyond bathing — see the pharmacist or GP alongside the soak.
