Balneum Hermal - The medicinal oil baths for the special treatment of dry and stressed skin

Balneum Hermal is a medical oil bath series based on natural oils for treating dry, slightly itchy and particularly stressed skin.Balneum Hermal replaces the skin's missing oil and thus regulates its moisture content.No prescription is required for this product.

Areas of application

The medicinal oil baths for the special treatment of dry and stressed skin such as atopic eczema (neurodermatitis), psoriasis (psoriasis), fish scale disease (ichthyosis).Balneum Hermal F creates an oil film on the skin.This serves as a temporary protective layer until the skin's lipid layer is restored.The release of physiological moisturizing factors from the horny layer is reduced and the increased water evaporation in eczema, the so-called transepidermal water loss (TEWL), is reduced.In addition, Balneum Hermal F has a dandruff-removing effect.Balneum Hermal F is finely distributed in the bath water and moisturizes the skin even while bathing.

The proven Balneum Hermal oil baths make an important contribution to the treatment of dry skin.The medicinal baths are distributed in the bath water in the finest droplets and form a nourishing lipid film on the skin.This means that the skin is greased evenly and thinly, so that areas can be easily reached that are not so easy to reach when applying cream by hand.At the same time, the release of important moisture retention factors from the top layer of skin is reduced during bathing.This stabilizes the skin's hydrolipid system and supports the restoration of the skin's natural barrier function.
