Ovelle Silcocks Base 250ml — Daily Emollient Cream for Dry & Sensitive Skin
Ovelle Silcocks Base is a lightweight emollient cream designed for the daily management of dry, flaky and sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly and spreads easily over large areas — making it ideal as a daily body moisturiser for those with eczema, psoriasis or chronically dry skin who need to apply emollient frequently throughout the day.
As with all Ovelle emollients, Silcocks Base can be used as a moisturiser or as a soap substitute when washing, helping to avoid the drying effect of soap on already compromised skin. Its lighter, cream texture makes it particularly well suited to daytime use, for use on the face, and for those who find heavier ointments too greasy.
Key Features
- Lightweight emollient cream — absorbs quickly, non-greasy
- Use as a moisturiser or soap substitute
- Fragrance-free and gentle on sensitive skin
- Suitable for babies, children and adults
- 250ml tube — convenient and hygienic dispensing
- Made by Ovelle — Irish pharmaceutical manufacturer
How to Use
As a moisturiser: apply liberally to the skin as often as needed. As a soap substitute: apply to wet skin, cleanse gently and rinse. Pat dry — do not rub. Apply more emollient immediately after drying for best results.
For external use only. If skin symptoms worsen or show signs of infection, seek medical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ovelle Silcocks Base used for?
Silcocks Base is a pharmacy emollient cream used as a daily moisturiser and soap substitute for dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin. It is one of a range of Irish emollient products from Ovelle and is particularly valued for its lighter texture compared to heavier ointments — making it more comfortable for daytime use and for covering larger body areas.
What is the difference between Silcocks Base and Emulsifying Ointment?
Both are Ovelle emollients for dry and sensitive skin. Silcocks Base is a lighter, cream formulation that absorbs more easily and feels less greasy — better for daytime use, large areas and those who prefer a lighter texture. Emulsifying Ointment is denser and more occlusive — it provides a stronger, longer-lasting barrier and is better for very dry or cracked skin, or overnight use. Many people with eczema use both: Silcocks Base during the day and Emulsifying Ointment at night. Both are available from Chemco Pharmacy.
Can Silcocks Base be used on the face?
Yes. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for facial use, including around the eye area (avoiding direct contact). Always patch test first if using on the face for the first time.
Is Silcocks Base available in Ireland?
Yes. Ovelle Silcocks Base 250ml is available from Chemco Pharmacy with fast delivery across Ireland. Ovelle products are made in Ireland — we are an authorised stockist.
