How Doublebase Works
Doublebase is a hydrating gel emollient that works by forming a protective layer over the skin. This layer:

- Softens and smooths dry or scaly areas
- Relieves itching and irritation
- Supports skin healing and comfort
As a Doublebase topical emollient UK, it does not contain steroids, fragrances, or antimicrobials, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
