Thank you . I've seen nonnys replies I am checking out the creams suggested on there..

I think the point was that any cream is ok as long as you are not close to any flames, sparks etc that may ignite the oxygen as there is an increased risk with "flammable" creams xx

Hello. Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, apart from the increased fire risk from "flammable" creams and oxygen. There is also a risk of a skin reaction to oxygen users from any creams or lotions containing, oil based products or petroleum jelly, as these can react with oxygen and iritate the skin causing sores and its advised by my oxygen providers to avoid products containing these. However, because many creams and lotions, including sun creams, contain these, it's proving quite difficult to find any that dont.
