Balneum is a bath additive that contains soya oil and is used for the treatment of dry skin disorders such as eczema and dermatitis. Balneum relieves symptoms associated with dry skin whilst also cleansing, and helping to protect against further drying. Soya oil is an emollient (moisturiser) which soothes and softens dry skin by helping to replace lost oils. The oil forms tiny droplets in the water which leaves a thin film on your skin. This film helps to stop your skin from drying out and so makes it feel soft.

Always use Balneum exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Balneum is for external use by patients of all ages.
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. Do not use soap sine 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.

- For a full bath (Adults dose) - 1 capful (about 20ml)
- For a child’s or baby’s bath - 1/4 of a capful (about 5ml)
- For a partial bath in a bowl or sink - 1/8 of a capful (about 2.5ml)
