What Doublebase Once Emollient Gel is and What it is used for?

• Doublebase Once is an advanced, highly moisturising and protective emollient, presented in a cosmetically acceptable gel for application to your skin. It can moisturise dry skin for 24 hours after one application. It is for the management of dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis.
• All age groups can use Doublebase Once.
• The therapeutic ingredients in this product include emollient oils and humectants. 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.
• The product’s long-lasting action reduces the need for frequent re-application throughout the day.
• Doublebase Once can also be used as a soap substitute for washing, in order to prevent further drying of the skin.
• The humectants in Doublebase Once help to hold water in the skin. They also form the Triple Action Protective System (T.A.P.S.) so that more commonly used preservatives are not required. This may be preferable for those who are particularly sensitive to conventional preservatives.
• This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor, nurse or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin.
