Doublebase Emollient Gel is a highly moisturising and protective emollient (a medical moisturiser) which is clinically proven to help soften, moisturise and protect dry skin and conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis.
Doublebase Emollient Gel may have been recommended to you by a healthcare professional, such as your GP, dermatologist, nurse or pharmacist, for dry skin or conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or ichthyosis.
The innovative GEL formulation of Doublebase Emollient Gel looks different from and performs differently to other moisturisers.
Doublebase Emollient Gel is simple to apply, it easily absorbs when smoothed into the skin and can start to work from the first application allowing you to get on with your day.
Suitable for all ages, including babies.
Fine tuned for the management of dry skin and conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
Doublebase Emollient Gel forms a layer of oil in the upper layers of the skin which helps to trap moisture. The skin cells can absorb this moisture and swell, closing the cracks between them and slowing the water loss which makes skin dry.
Doublebase Emollient Gel also contains glycerol, a humectant, which helps to keep water within the skin.
As dry skin is ‘thirsty’, Doublebase Emollient Gel should be applied regularly (ideally 3 to 4 times each day if needed) to soften and moisturise the skin, making it smooth and supple. Continued use helps to maintain improvement.
It is important to ensure that emollients are used correctly to achieve the maximum benefit.

Emollients should be smoothed onto dry skin in the direction of hair growth and then allowed to soak in. Don’t vigorously rub the emollients into your skin.
