What Is Balneum?

Balneum is a specialist skincare brand designed for individuals with persistent dry, itchy and inflamed skin. Its products are formulated with clinically proven emollients that replenish essential lipids and attract moisture deep within the skin layers. Balneum is widely recommended for long-term management of conditions within the eczema and psoriasis categories.

Key Benefits & Features of the Balneum Range

• Deep hydration: Urea and soya oil provide powerful moisturisation for dry and very dry skin.
• Skin barrier repair: Helps replenish natural lipids and prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
• Clinically suitable for eczema & psoriasis: A supportive therapy for chronic dry skin and inflammatory skin conditions.
• Reduces itching & tightness: Emollient-rich formulas soothe discomfort during flare-ups.
• Ideal for sensitive skin: Fragrance-free and dermatologically tested.
• Family-friendly: Safe for adults, children and suitable for those shopping the baby & child skin conditions category.

Why Balneum Is Important for Dry & Sensitive Skin

Dry skin conditions are linked to a weakened skin barrier that cannot retain moisture effectively. Balneum products supplement this barrier with essential humectants and lipids, improving hydration and reducing irritation. For individuals exploring moisturisers and body skincare, Balneum provides medical-grade effectiveness not found in standard cosmetic creams.

How to Use Balneum Products for Best Results

1. Apply Balneum Cream or Balneum Plus Cream 2–3 times daily to dry areas.
2. Use Balneum Bath Oil in lukewarm water to soften and hydrate skin during bathing.
3. After showering, apply an emollient within 3 minutes to lock in moisture.
4. During eczema or psoriasis flare-ups, increase application frequency.
5. Use regularly as part of a long-term maintenance routine to prevent recurrence.

Expert Dermatology Insight

Urea is one of the most clinically effective ingredients for managing chronic dry skin. It acts both as a humectant (drawing water into the skin) and a natural exfoliant (reducing roughness and scaling). Balneum’s combination of urea with lipid-rich soya oil allows simultaneous hydration and barrier reinforcement, making it ideal for patients with xerosis, eczema, psoriasis or ageing skin.

For individuals with atopic eczema, consistent emollient use reduces flare frequency by up to 50%, making Balneum a cornerstone alongside other non-steroidal treatments within related categories such as eczema and psoriasis.
