DescriptionWhat is Doublebase gel used for?Doublebase is a clinically established emollient with a longstanding prescription history for managing dry skin conditions. Combining the abundant moisture characteristic of a cream with the quick absorption of a gel, Doublebase is renowned for its non-greasy feel despite its elevated oil content. How does Doublebase gel work?The oily components, isopropyl myristate, and liquid paraffin work to promote the rehydration and softening of dry skin by creating a sealing barrier on the skin surface. This barrier helps reduce water evaporation from the underlying layers, preventing further drying.Doublebase’s specifically formulated gel undergoes a unique breakdown upon contact with skin salts, leading to the irreversible separation of the oil and water components. This separation allows the oils in Doublebase Gel to be absorbed into the skin, establishing a protective layer that is less susceptible to removal through washing.Glycerol plays a crucial role in retaining residual water from the gel formulation, minimizing water evaporation through the skin and leaving it moisturized and healthy.
