Oilatum Junior is indicated in the treatment of atopic eczema, contact

dry skin conditions.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Oilatum Junior should always be used with water, either added to the
water or applied to wet skin.
INFANT BATH
Add ½-2 capfuls to a basin of water. Apply gently over entire body
with a sponge. Pat dry.
ADULT OR CHILD BATH

minutes. Pat dry.
SKIN CLEANSING
Rub a small amount of oil into wet skin. Rinse and pat dry.
Oilatum Junior is most effective when it is used as a bath additive,
particularly when the area of skin to be treated is
extensive. In addition to its therapeutic benefits of hydration and
emolliency, this method of use is particularly relevant
in the management of acute pruritic dermatoses where relaxation of
tension appears to relieve symptoms.
Oilatum Junior acts as a skin cleanser, and should not be used with
soap.
Patients should be advised to use care to avoid slipping in the bath.
It is not necessary to use soap with Oilatum Junior.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
