Pharmacist advice

Apply the oil shortly after showering while the skin is still slightly damp. Oil does not add water to the skin, but its emollient layer can help reduce evaporation and maintain softness for longer.

Begin with only a few drops and add more when required. An excessive amount does not provide proportionally better care and may leave a greasy layer or transfer to clothing.

For very dry skin, apply the oil as the final step over body cream or balm. The cream provides water and humectants, while the oil creates the final emollient layer.

Avoid strong massage over painful, swollen, injured or inflamed areas. This is a cosmetic body oil and does not replace therapeutic massage or medical treatment.

For active dermatitis, fragrance allergy or highly reactive skin, fragrance-free emollients are preferable. Persistent itching, cracking, sores or marked redness require dermatological assessment.
