This Oleo Moisturising Ointment is a wonder balm with a silky smooth texture to repair, restore and replenish your skin.  Ingredients including Shea Butter, Evening Primrose Oil and Urea have been specially selected for their ability to provide powerful support to the skins barrier function as well as their remarkable healing properties

OM Ointment will help to address Essential Fatty Acid Deficiencies.  Fatty acids (lipids) make up all cell membranes, including skin cells.  Healthy skin cells work in synergy to build a strong skin barrier. It also aids in the prevention and correction of skin barrier and cornification disorders and also lowers the rate of trans epidermal water loss (TEWL).  This helps to keep your skin healthy and beautifully soft.  

OM  is free of water (so no bacteria can live in it) and is made up of a composition of vegetable oils and barrier substances that help to create healthy skin.  The fatty acids from vegetable oil are responsible for the silky soft texture, excellent oxidative stability and anti-oxidant protection. 

As our skins age the process of desquamation (shedding of dead skin cells) becomes  less regular and efficient.  This is accompanied by a loss of corneocyte compaction (a less compact surface layer of skin) which leads to rough skin.  Urea provides humectant properties in OM (natural humectants deplete with age), allowing it to heal dryness and flakiness, keeping your skin soft and supple.  Not only does urea provide moisture, it is also a natural exfoliant. Combined with lactic acid in the skin, urea works to remove hyperkeratinisation improving cellular turnover and in turn improving the corneocyte compaction of the skin.   These properties allow OM Ointment to make a noticeable difference to surface texture of ageing skin.
