Oilatum Shower Gel (Paraffin, Light Liquid)

Paraffin creates an occlusive film on the skin surface, which limits transepidermal water loss and traps moisture within the stratum corneum. This barrier effect softens the skin, improves flexibility, and supports natural repair processes, thereby alleviating dryness and irritation.

The appropriate amount and frequency of application are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the severity of the skin condition, the patient’s age, and the area of skin being treated. Users should follow the specific instructions provided by their clinician.

Paraffin‑based topical products are generally considered low risk for systemic exposure. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using Oilatum Shower Gel to ensure it is appropriate for their specific situation.

Oilatum Shower Gel uses paraffin as its primary emollient, offering a strong occlusive barrier that is especially effective for very dry or compromised skin. Compared with water‑based moisturisers, it may provide longer lasting hydration but can feel greasier, making it suitable for severe dryness rather than light daily use.

Store the gel at ambient temperature, ideally below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect it from excessive heat, direct sunlight and moisture to maintain product integrity. Ensure the container is tightly closed after each use to prevent contamination.

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, gently massaging until fully absorbed. It can be used once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Avoid applying to open wounds or mucous membranes.

Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and severe skin irritation leading to blistering or ulceration. If any of these occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paraffin or any other component of the formulation should avoid using the product. It is also contraindicated on broken, infected, or severely inflamed skin without medical supervision.
