About
Eucerin AtopiControl Calming Shower Oil is soap-free and enriched with a high concentration of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Oils to gently cleanse and soothe skin with Atopic Dermatitis and Atopic Eczema. The body wash for eczema relieves itching and supports the skin’s natural barrier. Even with regular washing, skin is protected from further dryness and itching.
The Eucerin shower oil can be used daily during flare-ups as well as during the periods between flare-ups when skin is less irritated.
Soap-free Eucerin AtopiControl Calming Shower Oil does not contain fragrance and is suitable for adults, children and babies as of day one.

Ingredients
We choose all our ingredients with great care and never compromise on quality. Learn more about the key ingredients of this product.
The ingredients in our brand products are updated regularly. For this reason, occasionally there may be discrepancies between the ingredients on our website and on our product packaging. We therefore recommend that you always pay attention to the information on our product packaging and check the ingredients listed there.
Glycine Soja Oil, also known as Soybean Oil, is a valuable lecithin-rich oil with a high content of Linoleic Acid (an Omega-6 fatty acid). It also contains α-linolenic acid, Tocopherols and Phytosterols and is a good source of Omega-3. The high lecithin content results in excellent skin moisturisation as Soybean Oil emulsifies water and binds it into the horny layer.
Can I use Eucerin AtopiControl Calming Shower Oil on my face?
Eucerin AtopiControl Calming Shower Oil is a body wash. For eczema or atopic skin treatment on your face we recommend you use Eucerin UltraSENSITIVE Cleansing Lotion.
Will Eucerin AtopiControl Calming Shower Oil make my skin feel greasy?
No. Atopic skin is extremely dry so it will help replenish your skin but will not leave it feeling oily or greasy.
Is Eucerin AtopiControl Calming Shower Oil suitable for babies and newborns?
Yes, it is suitable for newborns as of day one, but use as a bath additive rather than applying directly to their skin.
What do you mean by a ‘flare-up’ and `the period between flare-ups’?
Broadly speaking, Atopic Dermatitis has two different phases. A ‘flare-up’ is one of the names used to describe the acute, active phase when skin is at its most irritable. It can feel intensely itchy, you may experience a burning sensation and skin can look dry, red and flaky. Between these acute, flare-up phases are periods of time when your skin is relatively calm and less irritated. This period is also known as the non-acute, non-active or interval phase. The length of each phase varies greatly depending on the individual, but products specially formulated to treat and care for atopic skin − such as those in the Eucerin AtopiControl range − can help to extend the period between flare-ups and offer relief during acute flare-ups.
Is Atopic Dermatitis the same as Eczema?
Dermatitis and Eczema are the same thing: collective terms for inflammatory changes in the skin. As such, they include many different dermatological diseases. Atopic Eczema and Atopic Dermatitis are also the same thing.
