1. WHAT DOUBLEBASE EMOLLIENT WASH GEL IS AND WHAT
IT IS USED FOR
•
This product is a treatment for you to use whenever you wash. It has
been developed for
use instead of soaps (bars and liquids) and cleansers, both of which
may irritate dry skin.
•
It helps treat and prevent dry or chapped skin conditions that may
also be itchy, red and
sore. Common examples include:
– occupational hand dermatitis (due to frequent hand-washing, or
repeated contact
with water or chemicals such as cleaning or hair products)
– eczema and other types of dermatitis
– psoriasis (scaly, pink patches of skin)
– elderly pruritus (itchy skin due to ageing)
– ichthyosis (unusually scaly skin)
•
Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel is suitable for ALL AGE GROUPS,
including babies.
• The ACTIVE INGREDIENTS in this product are isopropyl myristate and
liquid paraffin.
These are known as EMOLLIENTS.
•
This “soap substitute” product is specifically designed to be
non-foaming and is
fragrance free. When used as part of your normal washing routine it
helps to:
– cleanse, soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping in
moisture and
restoring the normal protective function of the skin.
– prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by
washing and by
the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary cleansing
products.
– prevent ‘flare-ups’ of your skin condition.
•
This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or
treatments your doctor,
pharmacist or
