Skin Under Care | Natural Barrier Oil for Fragile, Pressure-Prone Skin
Description
A gentle, non-greasy barrier oil for fragile, pressure-prone skin. Handcrafted in the UK with nourishing botanical oils — calendula, baobab, sea buckthorn, and hemp — to keep delicate skin on the hips, heels, back and shoulders feeling soft, comfortable and cared for.
Why it works
A favourite among carers and families looking after someone with delicate, pressure-prone skin — and among anyone recovering, resting long-term, or living with reduced mobility. The all-natural blend is built to look after the skin that takes the most pressure: the hips, heels, back, elbows and shoulders.
Calendula, baobab and sea buckthorn oils sit at the heart of the formula — botanicals long valued for nourishing dry, delicate skin — alongside jojoba, almond and coconut oils that absorb quickly and leave a breathable layer of comfort without clogging pores or feeling greasy. A soft note of lavender and tea tree keeps it fresh and gentle.
Since 2007, Sera Organics has been crafting plant-based, cruelty-free skincare from a small workshop in Essex. Doctor-developed and dermatologist-approved, this paraben-free oil is gentle enough for the most sensitive skin and made for daily care. It's made for the daily comfort and care of delicate skin; for anything that needs medical attention, a GP, district nurse or pharmacist can advise.
How to use
Apply to clean, dry skin. Massage a few drops gently into pressure-prone areas — hips, heels, back, elbows and shoulders — until fully absorbed. Use once or twice daily, or as part of a regular skin-care routine.
For best results use it consistently as part of a regular skin-care routine alongside good general skin care. For someone with reduced mobility, the oil works well as part of a gentle daily routine that also includes regular repositioning and keeping skin clean and dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this oil designed for?
It's made for anyone whose skin needs extra care because of pressure and friction — people recovering from illness or surgery, those resting in bed for long periods, wheelchair users, and older adults with delicate skin. It's just as often bought by carers and family members looking after a loved one. The aim is simple: keep delicate, pressure-prone skin soft, comfortable and well cared for as part of a daily routine.
What does the oil feel like on the skin?
It's light and absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than oily or sticky. A few drops are enough, and it sinks in without leaving a heavy residue — so it won't transfer onto clothing or bedding. The scent is soft and natural, coming only from the small amount of lavender in the blend.
Why an oil rather than a cream?
A lightweight oil absorbs quickly and leaves a breathable layer of comfort on the skin, without the heavier feel some creams leave behind. It's easy to massage in gently — which matters when you're caring for someone with delicate skin — and a little goes a long way. The blend is deliberately non-greasy so it doesn't transfer onto bedding or clothing.
Is it safe for very sensitive, fragile skin?
The oil is built around gentle, plant-based ingredients and is paraben-free and free from synthetic fragrance. It does contain lavender and tea tree essential oils in small amounts, which can occasionally be reactive on very sensitive skin. We always recommend a patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours before first use, and only ever applying the oil to intact, unbroken skin.
Can it be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
This oil contains lavender and tea tree essential oils, which aren't universally recommended during pregnancy without professional guidance. We'd suggest checking with your GP, midwife or pharmacist before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How long does a bottle last?
Because only a few drops are needed per area, a bottle lasts most people several weeks of daily use. Stored away from direct heat and light, the oil has a 12-month shelf life once opened.
