Emollient bath and shower preparations

Hydromol Bath and Shower Emollient

Formulary

Cheapest Bath Additive

There is no evidence to support the use of bath and shower emollients. Patients should be advised to wash with their normal emollient as a soap substitute(but not 50:50)as this is more cost effective and provides better moisturisation. Bath emollients leave the bath very slippery and there is a risk of falling.

Please note Hydromol Cream and Ointment Preparations should be prescribed as Zeroderm

Please refer to the Supplementary ’Emollient Guide’ for more detail
