The professional's guide to product selection
Emollient washes (including shower preparations)
Care Aqueous Emollient Cream (SLS Free)
This gentle yet effective two-in-one emollient and soap substitute is perfect for keeping dry and flaky skin in tip-top condition. Fragrance and colour free, it can be used as an emollient to put valuable moisture back into dry skin, or in the bathroom as a non-drying alternative to soap or shower gel
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
A mild formulation that gently moisturises and removes unwanted impurities, without stripping the skin's natural protective oils and emollients, or upsetting the pH balance. Soothing and fragrance free, daily use relieves the dryness often caused by medicated skin products without itching or irritation
Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Wash
The body wash includes skin-nourishing oils in a soap-free foaming wash that gently cleanses without irritation or drying of skin. The wash contains innovative ingredients to preserve moisture content, enhance the skin's integrity and rebuild the natural barrier function. It is ideal as part of the daily management of dry skin for the whole family
Doublebase Emollient Bath Additive
Doublebase Emollient Bath Additive contains 65% liquid paraffin, which has moisturising and skin-softening properties, and is specially formulated to disperse in bath water
Doublebase Emollient Shower Gel and Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel
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)
E45 Wash Cream
E45 Wash Cream is an emollient soap substitute that is clinically proven to wash dry and itchy skin conditions
Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 5% Urea Replenishing Body Wash
A gentle cleanser that will not wash away the skin's natural protective barrier. It is enriched with moisturising Urea and Lactate to soothe dry to very dry skin.

pH-balanced, skin-friendly, no-rinse, moisturising cleanser suitable for use on severely damaged skin from moisture associated skin damage. Can be used in a foam or spray mode for easy application to difficult to-reach areas
Myribase Emollient Shower Gel
Myribase Emollient Shower Gel is designed for daily use in the relief of low-to-moderate dry skin and as an alternative to normal soaps and shampoos, which typically cause the skin to dry out. It contains the non-ionic soap substitute cetomacrogol, which gently cleans; the humectant glycerol, which attracts water to moisturise; and isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, to prevent water loss and soft en the skin by forming an occlusive barrier within its surface, reducing drying resulting from evaporation of moisture diff using from the underlying layers. It is non-greasy, despite its high oil content, and suitable for use as a soap substitute due to the presence of non-ionic emulsifiers.
Oilatum Shower Gel Fragrance-Free
Oilatum Shower Gel Fragrance-Free contains light liquid paraffin, which exerts an emollient effect by forming an occlusive oil film on the stratum corneum. This prevents excessive evaporation of water from the skin surface and improves hydration
