Balneum Medicinal Bath Oil
Balneum Medicinal Bath Oil is a bath additive for the treatment of dry skin disorders such as eczema and dermatitis; it relieves symptoms associated with dry skin whilst also cleansing and helping to protect against further drying. The main ingredient is soya oil, an emollient (moisturiser) that soothes and softens dry skin by helping to replace lost oils. The oil forms tiny droplets in the water which leave a thin film on your skin this film helps to stop your skin from drying out and makes it feel soft.
Balneum Medicinal Bath Oil can be used by adults (including pregnant women), children and babies of all ages.

Directions
- Always use Balneum exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
- Pour the appropriate amount of Balneum liquid into the bath as the bath is filling, be careful the water is not too hot.
- Stay in the bath for at least 10 minutes but not longer than 20 minutes.
- In the case of infants and small children a bath of only a few minutes is mostly sufficient.
- Do not use soap since this will remove Balneum from your skin and can also dry the skin.
- If only a small area of skin is affected, you may be able to bathe the affected area in a bowl or sink.
- After bathing gently pat dry with a towel. If you wipe or rub your skin too much the Balneum will not work as well.
- Adults and children should bathe with Balneum 2 to 3 times a week or as often as required. For babies and infants a daily bath is recommended.
- Always clean the bath immediately after you have used Balneum. To do this, rinse the bath and equipment thoroughly with hot water and then clean with a household cleaner.
- If your symptoms do not get better, go and see your doctor.
- For a full bath (adult dose): 1 capful (about 20ml)
- For a child's or baby's bath: ¼ of a capful (about 5ml)
- For a partial bath in a bowl or sink: 1/8 of a capful (about 2.5ml)
