Linola Fett is used to treat dry and sensitive skin and as a supportive therapy for various skin diseases such as neurodermatitis.
Linola Fett is used for the follow-up treatment of healed eczema and for interval therapy after the use of corticosteroids and for skin tears and other minor skin damage. Depending on its condition, the skin requires different amounts of lipids, which is why two Linola emulsions with different lipid contents are available:
Linola Emulsion: For oily skin.
Linola Fett, emulsion: For dry skin.
Linola Fett protects against dehydration and cold damage.
Skin types that are neither extremely oily nor extremely dry can use Linola or Linola Fett as required.
