Doublebase Emollient Bath Additive is a fragrance-free, non-foaming liquid paraffin 65% bath emollient for the relief of dry, itchy skin conditions - eczema and dermatitis, ichthyosis and itchy elderly skin. For all ages including babies. 500ml.

What is Doublebase Emollient Bath Additive 500ml?

Doublebase Emollient Bath Additive is a medicine for the symptomatic relief of contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), itchy elderly skin, ichthyosis and related dry skin disorders.

How does it help?

Liquid paraffin leaves a fine protective layer on the skin that holds in moisture, so it is softer and less itchy. Shake the bottle. Adults: add 15 to 20ml (1.5 to 2 inner capfuls) to a standard bath; babies and children: 5 to 10ml (half to one capful) to a small bath or basin. Soak the affected areas for 10 to 20 minutes, or sponge the water gently over them, then pat dry.

Key benefits

  • Fragrance free and non-foaming
  • For eczema and dry skin
  • Suitable for babies
  • Soap-free bathing

Who should take care?

For external use only. Take care not to slip in the bath, and clean the bath afterwards with a detergent. Do not use if sensitive to any ingredient. Contains cetostearyl alcohol, which may cause local skin reactions. Contains paraffin: fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings) that has been in contact with it burns more easily - keep away from naked flames and do not smoke; washing reduces but does not remove it.
