Adult Formula

The Dermatologist Lipid Cream. Ingredient by ingredient.

No filler. No paraffin. No perfume. Every ingredient in this formula was selected by Consultant Dermatologist Dr Tim Clayton for one purpose: genuine, lasting barrier repair for adult skin that has been dry, reactive or compromised for too long.

Barrier repair. Not surface hydration.

Most moisturisers hydrate the surface. The Dermatologist Lipid Cream is built to do something different: restore the lipids that a damaged skin barrier has lost. Adult skin affected by eczema, chronic dryness or sensitivity has a measurably different lipid profile — depleted in the fatty acids that keep the barrier intact. Dr Tim Clayton's approach is to replenish those specific lipids, not just add occlusion. That's why this formula uses natural plant oils — each chosen for its lipid profile and clinical evidence — rather than the paraffin-based emollients that dominate the market. The difference in how the skin feels, and how it responds over time, is what Dr Tim sees in his clinic every day.

Avena Sativa Kernel Oil

Oat Kernel Oil

Cold-pressed from sustainably grown Swedish oats, oat kernel oil contains ceramide-like lipids that mirror the skin's own barrier fats — the same lipids depleted in eczema-prone skin. A lightweight but deeply nourishing oil that sits at the heart of the Ovée formula.

Butyrospermum Parkii

Shea Butter

Dr Tim's hero ingredient. One of the most effective natural emollients available, shea butter combines deep nourishment with genuine occlusive protection — sealing moisture into the skin without the heaviness of paraffin-based alternatives. Particularly effective on persistently dry areas: hands, elbows, lower legs and heels.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower Oil

The foundation of the Ovée formula. Rich in linoleic acid — an essential fatty acid consistently found to be depleted in dry and eczema-prone skin — sunflower oil helps to restore the barrier from within rather than sitting on top of it. Well studied for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin — it supports the skin’s natural lipid production and helps strengthen the skin barrier over time.

Persea Gratissima

Avocado Oil

Rich in oleic acid, plant sterols and vitamins A, D and E, avocado oil absorbs readily into the upper layers of the skin. It nourishes deeply and supports barrier repair — particularly effective for adult skin that has become rough, thickened or persistently dry over time.

Simmondsia Chinensis

Jojoba Seed Oil

Technically a liquid wax, jojoba closely resembles the skin's own sebum in molecular structure. It absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy residue, and is well documented for calming and comforting dry, reactive skin — making it a reliable choice for adult skin that reacts easily or is prone to sensitivity.

Also in the formula

Four more ingredients. All chosen for a reason.

A ripe cacao pod growing on the tree

Theobroma Cacao

Cocoa Seed Butter

An occlusive plant butter that forms a protective layer on the skin's surface, slowing moisture loss and contributing to the cream's rich, nourishing texture.

Bisabolol & Glycerin

Soothing & Sealing

Bisabolol (from chamomile) helps calm and soothe reactive skin. Glycerin is a well-established humectant that draws moisture into the skin and prevents water loss — especially important for eczema-prone adult skin.

Golden oat stems in soft sunlight

Avena Sativa Kernel Flour

Colloidal Oatmeal

A well-established ingredient in dermatology, long used to soothe dry, itchy skin. Contains avenanthramides that calm reactive, irritated adult skin.
