Hydromol Bath And Shower Emollient 350ml, 500ml & 1 Litre
Hydromol Bath and Shower Emollient is a fully dispersible, soap-free bath additive and shower cleanser clinically formulated to manage dry skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. Standard foaming body washes and soaps strip away the skin’s natural lipid barrier, causing moisture loss and triggering severe itching. Hydromol bath & shower emollient disperses smoothly in bath water to coat the skin in a protective layer of oil, trapping moisture and relieving dryness during daily washing.
Suitable for all ages from infants and children to the elderly this lightweight hydromol emollient contains no added fragrances, artificial colorants, or preservatives. Whether added directly to bathwater or applied as a gentle wash-off lotion in the shower, hydromol bath and shower emollient provides essential daily hydration. Available in 350ml, 500ml, and high-capacity 1 Litre bottles, it offers a versatile solution for long-term daily skin hygiene.
Features
- Fully Dispersible Formula: Disperses completely in bathwater without forming large oil slicks, ensuring even coverage over the skin surface.
- Dual Bath & Shower Use: Can be added directly to bathwater as an emollient soak or smoothed onto wet skin in the shower as a soap substitute.
- Relieves Itching & Dryness: Seals in natural moisture to calm dry skin, relieve itching, and prevent tightness after washing.
- Fragrance & Preservative-Free: Formulated without harsh fragrances, artificial dyes, parabens, or additives to minimize risk of irritation in sensitive skin.

How to Use
- Addition to Bathwater: Add 1 to 3 capfuls (or 15–30ml) of Hydromol bath and shower emollient 500 ml or 1 litre directly under running bathwater. Stir the water to ensure complete dispersion before stepping in. Soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Addition to Nursery Bath: For infants and young children, add ½ to 1 capful to a nursery bath and mix thoroughly throughout the water.
- Use as a Soap Substitute: Apply a small amount onto wet skin in the shower using clean hands or a soft washcloth. Smooth gently over the body in the direction of hair growth. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water.
