What is Doublebase bath additive bath?

Doublebase bath additive bath is an emollient used to treat dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis.

When used regularly, Doublebase bath additive keeps your skin moisturised, and prevents dry skin conditions.

For those who don't have a bath, Dermal Laboratories also makes Doublebase Shower Gel which comes in a 200ml bottle with a hook on the top for hanging in your shower.

With Prescription Doctor's online pharmacy, you can order Doublebase bath emollient online and have it delivered to your door tomorrow.

What is Eczema?

Eczema is a common skin condition which makes your skin dry, itchy, and sometimes red and painful. The condition can be isolated to a specific area of skin, such as behind the knees, inner areas of the elbows or on the hands and feet, and it can also be widespread across the entire body.

Scratching eczema on your skin can make the condition worse, as the skin may break, causing an opening for bacteria infestation, which can lead to infections.

What causes Eczema?

Eczema develops when the outermost layer of your skin does not retain moisture effectively. This causes the skin to dry out and flake.

Eczema can affect people of all ages, but there are some risk factors or triggers that may cause some people to develop the condition more than others. Examples of such risk factors are:

  • Irritants – washing and cleaning products
  • Environmental allergies – Cold, dry weather, seasonal allergies or dust mites
  • Clothing allergy – wool or synthetic fibres
  • Heat and sweat
  • Stress – stress from work or other life challenges could trigger eczema in some people
  • Hormonal changes in women – just before menstruation or during pregnancy

How does Doublebase bath additive bath work?

Doublebase bath additive bath contains three main ingredients - Liquid paraffin, Isopropyl myristate and Benzalkonium chloride.

Liquid paraffin and Isopropyl myristate help to moisturise the skin by fortifying the natural protective layer of the skin. They can also prevent irritation and drying which can occur with certain soaps, fragrances and other products used on the skin.

Benzalkonium chloride is an antiseptic which attacks bacteria and other microorganisms, and prevents them from infecting broken or damaged skin.

Together, the active ingredients of Doublebase bath additive bath prevent the skin from drying out and reduce the risk of bacterial infections.


How do I use Doublebase bath additive bath?

For adults with dry skin, Doublebase bath additive bath emollient should be used every time you take a bath, in the following steps:

  1. Shake the bottle before every use.
  2. Add 1 and ½ to 2 cupfuls (20mls) of Doublebase bath additive to warm, but not too hot, bath water.
  3. Use a soft sponge to cover the affected areas of your skin with the bath water.
  4. Bathe for around 10 to 20 minutes, ensuring you cover the affected area with the bath water.
  5. When finished, carefully climb out of the bath. Doublebase bath additive may make the bath slippery, so take extra care.
  6. Using a clean, dry towel, pat yourself down. Avoid rubbing yourself dry as this can worsen your dry skin symptoms or wash the emollient off your skin.

When using Doublebase bath additive bath, avoid staying in bath water for too long as this can wash away your skins natural oils, which can worsen your dry skin.

What should I do if I forget to use Doublebase bath additive when I should?

What should I do if I accidentally ingest some of the Doublebase bath additive bath?
