Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel – 200g

Description

Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel – 200gram

Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel is a soap substitute and skin cleanser used to soothe and moisturise dry, sensitive, or irritated skin. It is commonly used to help manage conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and other dry skin conditions.

⸻

How It Works

Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel contains liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, which work together to form a protective barrier on the skin’s surface. This barrier helps to lock in moisture, prevent water loss, and soften the skin while gently cleansing without stripping away the skin’s natural oils.

Directions for Use

Apply directly to wet or dry skin as a soap substitute when washing or bathing. Use as often as required, or as directed by your doctor. Rinse thoroughly after use. Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel is suitable for adults, children, and infants; however, always follow any guidance provided by a healthcare professional for young children. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
