Doublebase Wash Gel 200g

Living with dry, itchy, or sore skin can be challenging. Doublebase Wash Gel 200g offers a gentle yet effective solution, helping to relieve symptoms associated with various common skin conditions. Unlike ordinary soaps or cleansers that can strip natural oils, this non-foaming, fragrance-free emollient wash cleanses without irritation, making it ideal for daily use.

Why Choose Doublebase Wash Gel 200g?

• Gentle Cleansing: Formulated as a "soap substitute," it cleanses your skin without harsh foaming agents or fragrances that can aggravate sensitive skin.
• Intense Hydration: Its active ingredients, Isopropyl Myristate and Liquid Paraffin, work as emollients to trap moisture in the skin, helping to restore natural moisture levels and prevent dryness.
• Soothes & Protects: Regular use helps to soothe dry, chapped, itchy, red, and sore skin, providing a protective barrier against external irritants.
• Reduces Flare-ups: By keeping the skin moisturised and protected, Doublebase Wash Gel 200g can help prevent flare-ups of conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
• Suitable for All Ages: This gentle formula is safe and effective for the whole family, including babies, children, and adults with elderly or unusually scaly skin (ichthyosis).

Doublebase Wash Gel 200g can be seamlessly integrated into your daily washing routine, whether in the shower, bath, or for handwashing. It can also be used in conjunction with other emollients or treatments prescribed by your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse for comprehensive dry skin management.

Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel 200g is for external application to the skin only. Use this product as part of your normal washing routine, replacing your ordinary soap (bar or liquid) or cleanser. For maximum benefit, use it whenever you wash, including routine handwashing.

How to Use:

• Before first use, turn the top of the pump dispenser anti-clockwise to unlock it. You may need to press down the pump several times to prime it before any product is dispensed.
• Wash with Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel 200g in the same way you would with any liquid soap.
• Use a gentle washing action. The product will not foam or lather as you wash.
• Rinse off – you should still be able to feel the product coating your skin.
• Pat the skin dry with a soft towel, avoiding rubbing, as this can make dry skin conditions worse.

If you occasionally forget to use Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel 200g, simply carry on using it the next time you wash.

Do not use Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel 200g if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to isopropyl myristate, liquid paraffin, or any of the ingredients listed in Section 6 of the Patient Information Leaflet.

Important Safety Information:

• Flammability Risk: This product contains Liquid Paraffin, which is highly flammable. Keep away from open or gas fires, hobs, and naked flames, including candles. Do not smoke when using paraffin-containing preparations.
• Clothing and Bedding: Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings, etc.) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Wash clothing and bedding regularly (preferably daily) to minimise the build-up of impregnated paraffin, although it may not be completely removed, even with high-temperature washes. Paraffin is invisible and can accumulate over time.
• Bath and Shower Use: If used in the bath or shower, Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel 200g can make surfaces slippery. Be careful to avoid slipping. After use, clean out the bath/shower tray with a suitable detergent to remove any remaining greasiness (wearing protective gloves to avoid irritating your hands).
• External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.
• Skin Irritation: If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
• Accidental Ingestion: In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical assistance. Its oily ingredients may cause diarrhoea. If this happens, treat symptoms as you would any case of diarrhoea and drink plenty of water; do not attempt to cause vomiting.
