Oilatum

Shop Oilatum at Holland & Barrett

Keep dry and sensitive skin feeling comfortable with caring cleansers and emollients designed to support the skin’s moisture barrier. From everyday washes to bath soaks and creams, our range helps reduce that tight, uncomfortable feeling after bathing while leaving skin soft and cared for.

Gentle cleansing and daily moisture

A good routine starts with a soap-free cleanse that won’t strip the skin. For a simple, non-drying wash, try the Fragrance Free Shower Gel, made for sensitive skin and formulated to help maintain hydration while you cleanse. Follow with a rich emollient to lock in moisture; Oilatum Cream is an occlusive moisturiser that helps reduce moisture loss and leaves skin feeling supple. Apply to slightly damp skin after washing, then top up through the day on any dry, rough patches.

Bath-time care for the whole family

Prefer to soothe skin while you soak? Add a small amount of Oilatum Plus to warm bath water to create a comforting, emollient layer on the skin’s surface. For younger skin, the Junior Bath Additive offers gentle, soap-free care at bath time and helps skin feel comfortable after drying off. If you need a quick post-bath top-up, the Junior Cream provides on-the-spot moisturising care for little ones’ dry areas. Always follow on-pack directions, take care to avoid slipping in the bath, and patch test if your skin is particularly sensitive.

How to get the best from your routine

For lasting comfort, keep water lukewarm, limit long hot showers, and moisturise straight after washing to seal in hydration. Emollients work by creating a protective layer on the skin, so regular, generous application is key—especially on hands, elbows, and shins where dryness often shows first. Choose fragrance-free options if your skin is easily upset, and look for gentle, soap-free cleansers to help reduce tightness and discomfort. If dryness persists or you have concerns about irritated skin, speak to a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
