Atogla Baby Moisturizing Lotion

Atogla Lotion – Baby Moisturizing Lotion with Ceramides and Oat Lipids, 200 ml

Atogla Lotion from the Tedibar Family – Torrent’s Curatio range – is a 200 ml baby moisturising lotion built around Ceramide 3 and oat kernel oil. The reason ceramides appear on a baby lotion is worth understanding. The outer layer of skin works like a brick wall: the cells are the bricks and a lipid mortar holds them together, and that mortar is roughly half ceramides, a quarter cholesterol and a fifth free fatty acids. In infant skin, and in eczema-prone skin at any age, ceramide levels are lower than normal – so the mortar leaks, water escapes and irritants get in. A plain lotion coats the surface; a ceramide lotion supplies the missing mortar component itself. This one also carries cholesterol (the second mortar lipid), borage seed oil for gamma-linolenic acid, panthenol, glycyrrhetinic acid, bisabolol, chamomile and aloe. Hypoallergenic, paraben-free and dermatologically tested.

Uses & Benefits

• Moisturises delicate baby skin and helps hold water in
• Ceramides and oat lipids support the skin barrier rather than only coating it
• Helps with the dryness, roughness and flaking of eczema-prone skin
• Chamomile, bisabolol and glycyrrhetinic acid soothe redness and irritation
• Hypoallergenic and paraben-free, and can be used as often as needed
• A generous 200 ml bottle for daily whole-body use after a bath

Directions for Use

• Take a sufficient quantity and apply liberally, as often as needed or as your doctor recommends, as printed on the pack
• For best results apply immediately after bathing, while the skin is still slightly damp – that is when a moisturiser traps the most water
• Massage gently until absorbed. Pay attention to the driest areas
• Patch test a small area first if your baby has very reactive skin
• For external use only

Precautions

• For external use only. Avoid the eyes, and do not apply to broken, weeping or infected skin without asking a doctor
• It contains perfume – if your baby’s skin is highly reactive, or eczema is active, ask your paediatrician whether a fragrance-free option would suit better
• Stop use and consult a doctor if redness, itching or a rash appears or worsens after applying
• Worsening or widespread eczema needs a doctor, not just a moisturiser – a moisturiser is supportive care alongside whatever is prescribed
• Not for use on a child with a known allergy to any listed ingredient
• Use clean hands, and close the cap after each use

Storage

• Store in a cool and dry place. Do not freeze, as printed on the pack
• Keep the bottle closed
• Keep out of reach of children
