About Ovée

Built in clinic. Not in a lab.

Ovée was created by a family who knew exactly what was missing from the shelves — because one of them spent 25 years treating the children whose parents were looking for it.

A family business. A clinical foundation.

Ovée Skin Health is a family-run company with a single, clear purpose: to create skincare that genuinely works for children with sensitive and eczema-prone skin. We didn't start with a marketing brief. We started with a paediatric dermatologist who had spent decades watching children suffer from the wrong products — and decided to build the right ones.

Dr Tim Clayton — the dermatologist who built what his patients needed.

Consultant Paediatric Dermatologist at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital — one of the UK's most respected centres for children's skin conditions. Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester, President of the British Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Dermatology (BSPD), and Official Spokesperson for the British Skin Foundation.

Named in The Times Top 100 Children's Doctors — one of only three dermatologists in the UK to receive this recognition — Dr Tim has spent over 25 years treating children with eczema, atopic dermatitis and other skin conditions. His research contributed to the landmark discovery of filaggrin gene mutations — a key cause of eczema and the science behind why skin barrier function matters so much.

He created Ovée because the products he wanted to recommend — free from parabens, paraffin and perfume, built from natural oils with clinical evidence — simply didn't exist on the shelves.

Our P3 Promise

No parabens. No paraffin. No perfume. No exceptions.

The P3 promise is at the heart of every Ovée formula. Parabens can trigger reactions. Paraffin creates a barrier patients dislike. Perfume — whether synthetic or natural — is one of the most common causes of contact allergy in children. We removed all three. Not as a marketing decision. As a clinical one.

Our Story

Born from frustration. Built with purpose.

Ovée Skin Health began with a single observation — the moisturisers Dr Tim trusted most in his clinic weren't available to buy. Products with paraffin were unpopular with his patients. Heavily perfumed creams caused reactions. Paraben-laden formulas gave parents understandable concern.

So the Clayton family built something better: a formula that uses natural oils rather than paraffin, avoids every ingredient with a meaningful risk profile, and has been clinically developed with the same rigour applied to pharmaceutical products. Our oats are grown on Swedish farms using sustainable techniques, free from GMOs. Every product we launch will carry the same promise — developed by a dermatologist, for the patients he sees every day.

We take your child's skin as seriously as you do.

Every ingredient in every Ovée product has been chosen with care. Every formula has been reviewed against the clinical evidence. We will never launch a product that doesn't meet the standard Dr Tim would set in his clinic — for the children who need it most.
