Why parents reach for it
No added perfume — fragrance is a common itch trigger for kids. No steroids — it is a daily moisturiser, not a medicated cream. And it is non-greasy, so kids will actually let you put it on.
Daily care
It is a moisturiser, not a medicine. It comforts dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin. If a flare is infected, spreading, weeping, or your child is miserable, see a doctor. Keep using any prescribed cream your clinician has already given you.
How to start
Patch test on a small area first — some people react to lanolin. Keep it out of eyes. Reapply after hand washing and bath time. Night-time on itchy shins and arms is the usual habit. The full ingredient list is on ingredients.
FAQ
Can I use it on my baby?
Families use it on children and adults. For babies, patch test on a small area first and talk to your Plunket nurse or GP if you are unsure — especially during a severe flare.
Is it steroid-free?
Yes. It is an unmedicated moisturiser — no steroids, no cortisone, no fragrance, no parabens. It is not a replacement for a prescribed cream.
How often should I apply it?
At least 1–2 times a day as maintenance, and 3–4 times a day during dry, itchy patches. Keeping skin moisturised is the whole game.
Should we stop the prescribed cream?
No. Do not stop a prescribed treatment because of a moisturiser. Use Wellswood as the daily moisturiser in a routine your clinician already knows about.
