Eucerin AtoControl Bath and Shower Oil

The Eucerin AtoControl Bath and Shower Oil is a highly specialized cleansing product designed for very dry, irritated, and sensitive skin, particularly for those with Atopic Dermatitis or Eczema. It serves to gently cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils, providing a soothing and protective effect.

Product Description

Eucerin AtoControl Bath and Shower Oil is a soap-free and fragrance-free cleansing oil formulated to help protect the skin's natural barrier from further dryness and itching. The high concentration of nourishing oils in the formula helps to soothe and replenish the skin, providing relief from the uncomfortable symptoms associated with atopic skin. It is gentle enough for daily use during both "flare-ups" (acute phases of irritation) and in between flare-ups to maintain a calm and healthy skin condition.

Key Ingredients

The formula's effectiveness comes from its high oil content and gentle cleansing agents:

• Omega-3 and Omega-6 Oils: The product is enriched with a high concentration of these essential fatty acids, typically from Soybean Oil (Glycine Soja Oil) and Castor Seed Oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil). These oils are crucial for replenishing the skin's lipid barrier, which is often compromised in atopic skin, and for providing deep nourishment and moisture.

• Laureth-4 and MIPA-Laureth Sulfate: These are mild, non-stripping surfactants that create a gentle lather to cleanse the skin without causing irritation.

• Propylene Glycol: A humectant that helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin.

The product is formulated without fragrances, colorants, and preservatives to minimize the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions.

Product Specifications

• Volume: Typically available in a 400ml dispenser bottle.

• Texture: A clear, oil-based liquid that transforms into a light lather upon contact with water.

• Skin Type: Specifically formulated for dry, irritated, and atopic skin.

• User Age: Suitable for adults, children, and babies as of day one (when used as a bath additive).

• Formulation: Soap-free, fragrance-free, and clinically and dermatologically proven to be highly tolerable.

How to Use

The oil is designed for use in both the shower and bath.

Application Steps:

1. For showering: Apply the oil to wet skin, gently massaging it to create a light lather. Rinse thoroughly.

2. For babies: Use as a bath additive. Apply the oil to the bathwater rather than directly onto the baby's skin.

3. After cleansing: Gently pat the skin dry with a towel, taking care not to rub, as this can cause further irritation.

Important Note: To prevent slipping, be sure to rinse any oil residue from the floor of the shower or bathtub. Avoid contact with eyes. For a complete routine, it is recommended to follow up with other products from the Eucerin AtoControl care range.
