The active ingredients in this product are isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin. These are known as emollients. The product helps to:
-
Soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin.
-
Prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary cleansing products.
Doublebase Gel can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor, pharmacist or nurse may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition.
