Doublebase soap substitutes
Because soaps and detergents can be very damaging to dry, sensitive skin, it is important to try to avoid using them where possible. To help you avoid these irritants, the Doublebase range includes some alternative cleansers, which are sometimes referred to as soap substitutes. These clean like soap or shower gel, whilst protecting and moisturising the skin.
Doublebase Soap Substitutes are highly moisturising and effective alternatives to soap that cleanse, moisturise and protect your skin.
Most ordinary soaps are very drying to the skin and can be irritant, particularly when used on dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis and elderly dry skin. Soap substitutes such as Doublebase Shower, Doublebase Wash and Doublebase Bath contain emollient oils and are able to gently cleanse the skin without foaming or stripping the skin’s natural oils, providing an effective alternative to foaming shower gels, soaps and bubble baths.
There are three versions of Doublebase Soap Substitutes.
Doublebase Shower and Doublebase Wash
Doublebase Shower and Doublebase Wash are both highly moisturising and effective Soap Substitutes that cleanse, moisturise and protect your skin. They prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by showering and by the detergents, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary shower and wash products.
Doublebase Shower and Doublebase Wash should be used to wash with, in the same way as ordinary shower gels and soaps. However, unlike ordinary shower and wash products, Doublebase Shower and Doublebase Wash do not create a foam or lather. Remember, bubbles are not needed to cleanse the skin. Doublebase Shower and Doublebase Wash can also be applied and left on after washing to condition the skin.
Any oil based products may cause shower or bath surfaces to become slippery so always be careful when entering or leaving the shower or bath to avoid slipping.
Always read the label and Patient Information Leaflet before use.
Doublebase Bath
Doublebase Bath is a fragrance-free bath emulsion that helps treat dry skin. When added to the bath water Doublebase Bath helps to cleanse, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin. It also helps prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary bath products.
Doublebase Bath contains a non-soap based cleanser to clean the skin, however it will not foam or create bubbles.
Simply add Doublebase Bath to running water and then soak for 10-20 minutes.
Doublebase Emollient Bath Additive can be used by all age groups from babies to the elderly.
