How does the ointment differ from an ordinary hand cream — is it worth using instead of a cream, or together with it? — Chamomile Ointment for Sensitive Skin 50 ml - LOODU

The main difference lies in the composition and in how the product interacts with the skin. An ordinary hand cream usually contains water and absorbs quickly, giving light hydration. LOODU's ointment, by contrast, is built on an oil base with beeswax and contains no water: it does not "absorb" in the usual sense, but stays on the surface, forming a protective layer.

• Beeswax reduces transepidermal water loss — meaning the skin loses its own moisture more slowly under the protective layer.
• Rapeseed oil and grapeseed oil soften the skin and give the texture a nourishing but not heavy feel.
• Chamomile extract adds a soothing effect, which is especially relevant for skin that reddens quickly or reacts to cold and wind.

In practice, many people use a light cream during the day and the ointment in a targeted way: on especially dry areas, at night, or before going out into the cold. These are not mutually exclusive products. If the skin is very dry, the ointment can be used as a standalone product for problem areas — where a cream cannot cope.
