you could change the sentence a little and use "soothes/relieves skin irritation and itching"...

: seems everybody is avoiding actually translating the phrase./And I disagree with using just "soothing" as this does not cover the meaning at all//I still disagree.

antipruritics
Also 'anti-itch' as Liz says.

That should be ANTIPRURITIC, without the 'S'.
antipruritic /an·ti·pru·rit·ic/ (-proo-rit´ik) preventing or relieving itching, or an agent that does this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
an·ti·pru·rit·ic (nt-pr-rtk, nt-)
adj.
Preventing or relieving itching.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
antipruritic
[-proo͡rit′ik]
Etymology: Gk, anti + L, prurire, to itch
1 pertaining to a substance or procedure that tends to relieve or prevent itching.
2 an antipruritic drug. Topical anesthetics, corticosteroids, and antihistamines are used as antipruritic agents.

Oil baths (film-forming oil versus emulsion oil bath, 2-phase oil bath)
Oil baths are often used particularly in the treatment of neurodermatitis. They reduce skin dryness and irritation, and alleviate itching. The lipid-replenishing properties of oil baths and their **anti-pruritic** effect are temperature-dependent and best at 32 degrees Celsius.

Minerals
These include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, chromium and iron. Magnesium lactate, present in Aloe Vera, inhibits histidine decarboxylase, thus blocking the formation of histamine from the amino acid histidine. Since histamine is liberated into the skin from mast cells in many allergic reactions, leading to intense itching and pain, this reaction may account for aloe's powerful ***antipruritic** effect.

B. Kamins Antipruritic Cream - 60g
For temporary relief of minor skin irritations, itching and redness due to eczema, dermatitis, allergy to jewelry, cosmetics, soaps and detergents.

Cosmetic companies often use words like this to make their product sound 'serious' :-) Note that they have also used the word 'epidermis', 'astringente' and 'matiza'.

so if this is for the general public I would stick with "anti-itch"

| Thanks very much for your help Liz much appreciated. |
| Hi Liz, help was not completely ignored at all but greatly appreciated. In my particular document I went for something more informal because it was a cosmetics magazine for general readers. But if someone happens to need something similar in the future then all this valuable info is here for them :-) |
