Colloidal Oatmeal is a natural, soap-free cleanser which restores normal pH of the skin with emollients that soothe and soften dry skin.

DermaVeen Colloidal Oatmeal is dry-milled from the purest grade of oatgrain. In the manufacturing process, the colloidal prodcuing fraction is separated out as a gum substance which is high in vitamin B complex and contains about 10% oat oil.

When colloidal oatmeal is mixed with water it forms a milky dispersion which, after bathing, leaves a film on the skin. This has three major benefits for treating Eczema or Chicken Pox.

* Colloidal Oatmeal has an anti-itch action that eliminates the sensation of    itch and reduces scratching.

* Colloidal Oatmeal has a buffering action which restores the normal
   pH balance to the skin (pH 5-6). That is, it restores the acid mantle of the
   skin. (Dry skin and eczema skin is usually mildly alkaline). 

* Colloidal Oatmeal has a cleansing action by absorbing and removing
   grime from the skin and so avoids the use of harsh alkaline soaps. 

Sodium PCA is the skin's natural moisturiser. It is also one of the most effective moisturisers available, retaining moisture within the skin.

Comes in 250ml size.
