Hydromol Bath & Shower Emollient

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.
