Linola Gamma Cream

Linola Gamma Cream is a sophisticated new emollient for treating all chronic and acute dry skin conditions, including eczema and neurodermatitis .

Linola Gamma Cream is an unperfumed emollient with a pleasant natural smell, which works introducing moisture into the upper layer of the skin. This restores smoothness and reduces dryness.

Linola Gamma Cream contains 20% w/w, standardised pharmaceutical grade Evening Primrose Oil, in a highly cosmetic, lipid-rich base. This formulation allows replenishment of Linoleic and gamma-Linolenic acid, two naturally occurring essential fatty acids, (often poorly absorbed from diet), that play a fundamental role in the maintenance of healthy skin. Evening Primrose oil 20% w/w as active substance, (nut oil is not included in the Linola® Gamma formulation, and our product has not been tested on animals).

Linola Gamma Cream is equally suitable for babies and patients of all ages, and is easy and economical to apply. It’s rapidly and almost completely absorbed by skin, leaving little residue to soil clothing or bedclothes. At the same time, the high lipid content in Linola Gamma Cream provides a protective, moisture-retaining film to the skin, which swells the stratum corneum skin layer and closes cracks in the skin to restore the protective ‘epidermal barrier'.

Linola Gamma Cream’s cooling emollient effect also provides relief from the pruritis (itching) associated with dry skin conditions. Furthermore, the gamma-Linolenic acid fatty contained in Linola Gamma Cream, is itself active against the inflammation that leads to pruritis.

Linola Gamma Cream is ideal for use in conjunction with topical steroids and the new topical immunomodulatory drugs used for treating eczema.

In spite of this long list of ingredients, (which is in fact similar to those found in the majority of creams), Linola® Gamma is one of very few creams licensed for use in newly born babies.
