Product Description

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.
  • Multiple Size Options: Available in 350ml, 500ml, and 1 Litre economy sizes for daily individual or family use.

Ingredients

  • Active Ingredients: Light Liquid Paraffin 37.8% w/w, Isopropyl Myristate 13.0% w/w.
  • Inactive Excipients: C12-13 Pareth-3 (emulsifier base).
  • Formulation Profile: Free from fragrances, preservatives, additives, and artificial colorings.

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.
  • Pat Skin Dry Gently: Gently pat the skin dry with a soft towel after bathing or showering. Avoid rubbing, which can strip away the protective oil layer or irritate sensitive skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hydromol Bath and Shower Emollient used for?

Hydromol Bath and Shower Emollient is used as a soap-free bath additive and shower cleanser to treat dry skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and senile pruritus. It coats the skin in a protective layer of oil during washing, locking in moisture and easing itching and tightness.

Can you use Hydromol every day, and can I buy it over the counter?

  • Daily Use: Yes, Hydromol is formulated for long-term daily use in place of traditional soaps or shower gels. It is gentle enough for everyday use across all age groups, including infants and the elderly.
  • Over the Counter: Yes, you can buy hydromol bath and shower over the counter at pharmacies and online retailers without a doctor's prescription.

Is Hydromol just Vaseline or paraffin?

No. While Hydromol emollient contains liquid paraffin, it is not plain petroleum jelly (Vaseline). It is a specially formulated liquid emollient containing Isopropyl Myristate and specialized emulsifiers ($C12-13 \text{ Pareth-3}$) that allow the oils to mix completely into bathwater or wash off cleanly in the shower without leaving a heavy residue.

Can you use Hydromol on intimate areas?

Yes, Hydromol can be used on intimate skin areas as a soap substitute, provided it is used externally. Because it is free from harsh fragrances, detergents, and preservatives, it cleanses without disrupting natural pH levels or irritating delicate skin tissues. Always rinse thoroughly with water after washing.
