FAQs

Is this product suitable for babies?

Yes, the fragrance-free formula is gentle and suitable for children, including babies, with dry or eczema-prone skin.

How often can I use this shower gel?

The shower gel is designed for daily use as part of your skincare routine for effective relief and skin nourishment.

What does 'emollient' mean in this context?

An emollient is a substance that softens and moisturizes the skin, helping to restore its barrier function and reduce dryness.

Can I use this if I don't have eczema but have very dry skin?

Yes, this shower gel is formulated to help with general dry skin conditions in addition to eczema.

What should I do if I slip in the shower after using this product?

Rinse the shower or bath floor thoroughly with water immediately after use to remove any slippery residue. If a slip occurs and you feel injured, seek medical attention.

Does this product lather?

This is an emollient shower gel designed to cleanse and moisturize; it may produce less lather than a traditional soap or shower gel.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Please check the packaging for specific recycling instructions in your local area, as recycling guidelines can vary.

Troubleshooting

Skin remains dry or itchy after use

Ensure the gel is applied liberally to wet skin and massaged gently. Pat dry lightly rather than rubbing vigorously. Consider using a moisturizer after showering for added hydration.

Product seems difficult to rinse off

Rinse the skin thoroughly with warm water. Ensure you are using adequate water pressure. If residue persists, a very light rinse with a mild, soap-free cleanser on areas that feel over-emollient may be considered, but this is generally not recommended for its intended purpose.

Accidental contact with eyes

Rinse eyes immediately with clean water. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
