Warming Shoulder Wrap
Fatigue and aching muscles are common side effects of radiotherapy treatment. This comforting microwaveable shoulder wrap is shaped to gently mould to the contours of the shoulders and help take away the stresses of the day. When warmed in the microwave, the wrap produces therapeutic heat to ease tension, aches and pains around the neck and shoulder area. Can also be used to provide cold therapy by chilling in the freezer. Shoulder Wrap is approx. 35cm x 1.5cm x 25cm. Random colour allocation.
Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream with 10% Urea - 118ml
Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream contains 10% Urea which is well-known for its hydrating, exfoliating and protecting properties. It's a non-greasy, fragrance free, deeply moisturising cream which is often recommended by oncology professionals to help protect and relieve dry, sore skin during cancer treatment.
MooGoo Magnesium Cream
The benefits of using creams and oils that contain Magnesium are now well-established. Magnesium is proven to lessen the sensation of pain and muscular discomfort, help relaxation and cellular repair.
MooGoo created this concentrated moisturiser with 20% of bioavailable Magnesium Chloride per tube, made possible using an advanced natural emulsion system. This is combined with the well known MooGoo moisturising base and natural preservation system to avoid the sting that can be associated with topical Magnesium on first application.
Just like other MooGoo moisturisers, it’s made with skin-loving, healthy and soothing ingredients. So in addition to delivering Magnesium, this creamy moisturiser also calms, and hydrates dry, irritable skin following chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment.
High-strength Magnesium Chloride in electrolyte form for optimal absorption
- 20% of elemental Magnesium per tube – that equates to 24g per tube
- A lightweight, natural moisturiser for all ages and skin types
- Free of Parabens, Phenoxyethanol and so many others unpleasant ingredients.
