Comforting 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.
MooGoo Magnesium Moisturiser - 120g
Magnesium is proven to lessen the sensation of pain and muscular discomfort, help relaxation and cellular repair. MooGoo Magnesium Cream is made with 20% of elemental Magnesium per tube alongside other skin-loving, healthy and soothing ingredients. So in addition to delivering Magnesium, this creamy moisturiser also calms, and hydrates dry, irritable skin.
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.
Oatsoak Colloidal Oatmeal - 100g
Colloidal oatmeal has been used for centuries as a treatment for itchy, dry or irritated skin and has been clinically proven as beneficial for radiotherapy skincare. This colloidal oatmeal can be added to warm bath water as a relaxing natural soak. It can help to relieve itchy, dry skin and can soothe skin that is inflamed or irritated from radiotherapy treatment. Providing deep moisturisation, it is a natural skin cleanser and also helps to create a protective layer. Single serving.
Organic Unscented Soap Bar - 100g
Skincare is so important when undergoing radiotherapy treatment and many people prefer to use gentle & unperfumed products. This fabulous handmade bar of traditional, cold-pressed soap is as simple as it gets. Wonderfully gentle and moisturising, there is nothing extra added - no artificial colourings, scents or preservatives that could irritate dry or sore skin from radiotherapy treatment.
Spacemask Self-Heating Eye Mask (single mask)
A cancer diagnosis is stressful. From the moment your loved one opens the Spacemask self-heating, eye mask, they will be temptingly invited on a journey of relaxation. Spacemasks make a great, pampering treat for anyone facing the stress of a cancer diagnosis. Single use mask.
