This is not an active ingredient as such, but works as a moisturiser by providing a layer of oil on the surface of the skin to prevent water evaporating from the skin surface. It is a very greasy moisturiser. It is made from a mixture of wool alcohols ointment (which contains lanolin, a waxy substance obtained from the wool of sheep) and water, with phenoxyethanol as an antimicrobial preservative. Dry skin results from lack of water in the outer layer of skin cells known as the stratum corneum. When this layer becomes dehydrated it loses its flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly and sometimes itchy. The stratum corneum contains natural water-holding substances that retain water seeping up from the deeper layers of the skin, and water is also normally retained in the stratum corneum by a surface film of natural oil (sebum) and broken-down skin cells, which slow down evaporation of water from the skin surface. The skin dries out when too much water evaporates from its surface. This increases as we get older, and is made worse by washing, because hot water and soap remove the layer of natural oil on the skin surface. Moisturisers such as hydrous ointment are helpful for all very dry skin conditions, particularly eczema and dermatitis, which get worse when the skin is allowed to dry out. Used regularly they help restore the skin's smoothness, softness and flexibility by helping the skin retain moisture. They should be applied frequently, and particularly after washing, to prevent the skin drying out. In conditions such as eczema, using a moisturiser regularly, even once the skin has improved, can help prevent flare-ups of this condition. ## Features - Dry skin conditions - Wool alcohols ointment, phenoxyethanol, dried magnesium sulphate - It is made from a mixture of wool alcohols ointment - Hydrous ointment is also known as oily cream - 500g tub ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | Hydrous Ointment BP | | Package dimensions | 10 x 5 x 5 centimetres | | Package Weight | 300 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 10 x 10 x 10 centimetres | | Brand | Medicounter | | Format | Cream | | Scent | Neutral | | Skin type | Dry | | Special features | Antimicrobial | | Manufacturer reference | Hydrous Ointment | | Product Dimensions | 10 x 10 x 10 cm; 300 g | | ASIN | B0CQKHNTYV | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Medicounter - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 10 x 10 x 10 centimetres - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Special feature:** Antimicrobial - **Active ingredients:** Hydrous Ointment - **Skin type:** Dry - **Number of items:** 1 - **Scent:** Neutral - **Item form:** Cream - **Unit count:** 500.0 gram(s) ## Images ![Hydrous Ointment BP 500g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616u07OqKZL.jpg) ![Hydrous Ointment BP 500g - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61T0s2V9HOL.jpg) ![Hydrous Ointment BP 500g - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JcS0ewz8L.jpg) ![Hydrous Ointment BP 500g - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Y3QWtvAqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Effective *by P***T on 12 September 2024* For dry skin this meets my needs, have tried other brands this is the one for meGlad I gave it a try ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hydrous ointment *by C***S on 7 September 2024* Love it!!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/596413833-hydrous-ointment-bp-500g](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/596413833-hydrous-ointment-bp-500g) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
