Doublebase Emollient Shower Gel and Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel

Dermal Laboratories

Description

Doublebase Emollient Shower Gel and Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel are designed to deliver emollient ingredients into the stratum corneum when gently applied to areas of dry skin. They are relatively non-greasy, despite their high oil content. The oily ingredients, isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, encourage rehydration and softening of dry skin by forming an occlusive barrier within the skin surface, which reduces drying resulting from evaporation of water diffusing from the underlying layers. Both products are suitable for use as a soap substitute owing to the presence of a non-ionic emulsifier (cetomacrogol)

Indications

Regular first-line treatment and prophylaxis of dry or chapped skin conditions that may also be pruritic (itchy) or inflamed. May also be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments
