Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an SLS-free body wash better for eczema?

SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) is a harsh surfactant that strips the skin's natural oils and disrupts the protective lipid barrier — worsening eczema and dry skin conditions. SLS-free cleansers like Manuka Biotic Calming Body Wash use gentler surfactants (glucosides) that clean effectively without compromising the skin barrier.

Can this body wash be used on babies with cradle cap?

Yes. The gentle, fragrance-free formula is safe for babies' delicate skin. For cradle cap, apply the body wash to the scalp, leave briefly, then gently remove loosened scales. The Mānuka oil's antimicrobial properties help manage the Malassezia yeast associated with cradle cap.

Can Manuka Biotic Body Wash help with molluscum contagiosum?

Yes. Mānuka oil has antiviral and antimicrobial properties that may help reduce the spread and duration of molluscum contagiosum (water warts). Using this body wash daily as part of a hygiene routine can help control the virus spread during an active outbreak, particularly in children.

Is this body wash suitable for people with both eczema and sensitive skin who react to fragrance?

Yes. The formula contains no added fragrances — only the natural botanical scent of Mānuka and Kānuka oils. These oils are generally well tolerated even by sensitive skin. Perform a patch test before first full-body use if you have known sensitivities.

How does Manuka Biotic Calming Body Wash differ from the Eczema Relief Body Lotion?

The Body Wash cleanses and removes surface debris, bacteria, and irritants from the skin. The Eczema Relief Body Lotion is a leave-on moisturiser that repairs the skin barrier, locks in hydration, and provides ongoing therapeutic benefit. For best eczema management, use both: wash with the Calming Body Wash, pat dry, then immediately apply the Body Lotion while skin is still slightly damp.
