- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
A gentle, fragrance free wash for dry skin, in a family size tub.
Ovelle Aqueous Cream B.P. now carries the Elave name. Same Gardiner Family Apothecary heritage, same simple approach to dry skin.
For dry skin, the wash matters as much as the moisturiser. Everyday soap can strip away the skin's natural oils, leaving it tight and uncomfortable. Elave Aqueous Cream B.P. cleanses with a soft, low lather, while liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin help skin hold on to its moisture.
Free from fragrance and colours, it is a practical choice for the whole family's bath or shower.

FAQs
Is Elave Aqueous Cream the same as Ovelle Aqueous Cream?
Yes. Ovelle Aqueous Cream B.P. has been rebranded as Elave Aqueous Cream B.P.
Can I use aqueous cream as a moisturiser?
This formula works best as a rinse off wash. Because it contains sodium lauryl sulfate, a dedicated leave on emollient is a better choice for moisturising dry or eczema prone skin.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, as a wash for adults and children. For babies or children with eczema prone skin, speak to your pharmacist before use.
Is it fragrance free?
Yes. It contains no fragrance or colours.
