I'm intrigued, does it taste like coconut? Are there any health benefits? What difference has it made to you skin?




Also interested by this, do you know the ingredients? Where would you get it from?

You can get it from agricultural supplies places, or old-fashioned pharmacies with a vet section. It's labelled for vetinary use. Comes in tubs sized from about a large tub of nappy cream up to a small bucket. Yellow lid. Although I believe there are a few products coming on the market now which are based on udder cream but specifically for humans (and no doubt more expensive).

ETA: Here's just one I found with google: http://www.nutrecare.co.uk/special_detail.asp?currency=1&id=&prod_id=1324&grpid=1324&offset=

Slap a layer of it on yer hands overnight (under cotton gloves) and bob's your uncle.

My 3 year old is suffering aswell, can she use the same? I have covered her in olive oil tonight for a bit of relief. My mum suffers really badly with eczema so we are all prone to occasional dry skin patches when its cold etc.:rolleyes:
