Overview
How does Balneum Soya Oil treat dry and itchy skin conditions?
Balneum Soya Oil is formulated to relieve dry, itchy, and scaling skin disorders such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. The active ingredient, refined soya bean oil, is rich in essential unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which is vital for healthy skin tissue. When dispersed in bath water, the oil coats the surface of the body, creating a protective lipid layer over the outer layer of skin. This physical barrier traps water inside, significantly reducing evaporation. By replenishing essential lipids stripped by daily environmental factors, the bath oil softens rough tissue and restores natural flexibility to dry skin.
What are the benefits of using a soya oil based bath treatment?
The primary benefit lies in its ability to cleanse and moisturise simultaneously without using harsh surfactants or alkaline soaps. Traditional cleansing products often strip the natural oils from vulnerable skin, triggering acute inflammatory flare ups. In contrast, soya bean oil integrates directly into the outer lipid matrix of the epidermis, reinforcing the natural skin barrier. Because the formula acts gently across the whole body during a simple bath, it offers an effortless way to treat widespread dryness that might otherwise require lengthy application of topical creams.
How does Balneum Soya Oil additive help relieve itching and dry skin flare ups?
Severe itching is often exacerbated by post bath evaporation, where water rapidly leaves unprotected skin and causes uncomfortable tightness. Balneum Soya Oil counteracts that process by locking in moisture before stepping out of the tub. By calming sensory nerve endings in the dermis, the lipid layer reduces the sensation of tightness and irritation that drives the urge to scratch. Preventing mechanical damage from fingernails helps preserve the skin barrier, allowing underlying micro cracks to heal and lowering the risk of secondary infections.

Usage Instructions
How should Balneum Soya Oil be administered for maximum efficacy?
To prepare a bath, add the appropriate amount of oil to warm water as it runs: typically two capfuls, which is about 20 ml, for a full adult bath, or one capful, about 10 ml, for a child bath. For an infant bath, a fraction of a capful, around 2.5 ml to 5 ml, is sufficient. The user should soak in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes to allow full coverage across the body. After bathing, the skin must be patted dry gently with a soft towel rather than rubbed, as vigorous rubbing removes the protective oily layer. The additive can also be used in the shower by applying a small amount directly to wet skin before rinsing lightly.
Warnings
What safety precautions must be followed during use?
This product is for external use only and must not be ingested or applied directly to broken skin. Crucially, individuals with a known allergy to soya or peanuts must not use this oil due to potential cross reactivity. Care must be taken when entering and exiting the bath or shower, as the oil leaves surfaces extremely slippery; using a non slip bath mat is strongly advised. Avoid getting the product into the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with clean water. If skin irritation or an allergic reaction develops, discontinue use and seek advice from a healthcare professional. Always store the bottle out of the sight and reach of children.
Who Is It For
Who is the intended user for Balneum Soya Oil?
This bath oil is intended for adults, children, and infants of all ages who suffer from generalised dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. It is especially suitable for individuals with widespread dryness where spot applying ointments or lotions is impractical or uncomfortable. It also serves as an ideal solution for babies with sensitive skin or infantile eczema, offering a gentle cleansing alternative that preserves delicate skin moisture during bath time.
