How to use Cetraben emollient bath additive
Before using Cetraben emollient bath additive, you should read the enclosed leaflet carefully. The oil should be added to the bath water and mixed evenly – depending on the age of the patient, anything between half a capful and two capfuls should be added. It can also be used in the shower – apply the oil lightly to the skin using a wet sponge, before showering off. Cetraben can make the bath surface very slippery, so you should take special care when getting into and out of the bath.
