Double Base Gel 500G And 100G For Itchy Skin Doublebase Gel is a highly moisturizing, protective emollient gel clinically proven to manage dry, chapped, itchy, and eczema-prone skin. Designed to combine the rich moisturizing qualities of an ointment with the lightweight feel of a cream, double base gel breaks down on contact with the skin to form an occlusive barrier that traps essential water within the stratum corneum (the skin’s outer layer). Formulated with high concentrations of isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, doublebase gel 500g restores natural lipid layers while reducing the itch-scratch cycle associated with chronic dry skin conditions. Whether used for daily body care or localized flare-ups with the doublebase gel 100g tube, doublebase 500g offers long-lasting hydration for adults, children, and infants without leaving a heavy, greasy residue. Key Features Dual-Action Emollient Matrix: Combines high-oil protection with a lightweight gel texture for rapid absorption without clogging pores. Locks in Essential Hydration: Formulated with Isopropyl Myristate and Liquid Paraffin to restore the skin’s natural lipid barrier and stop moisture loss. Soothes Dry, Itchy Skin: Reduces dryness, flaking, and itching associated with eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Suitable for All Ages: Gentle, fragrance-free formula safe for infants, children, adults, and elderly skin. Two Convenient Packaging Sizes: Offered in a large 500g pump dispenser for daily family use and a portable 100g tube for on-the-go care. Mechanism of Lipid Barrier Occlusion & Hydration When applied to compromised skin, Doublebase Gel works through a dual mechanism to restore tissue hydration and relieve irritation: Occlusive Moisture Trap: Liquid Paraffin creates an occlusive lipid film over the epidermis, preventing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and protecting raw skin from environmental irritants. Emollient Softening: Isopropyl Myristate acts as an emollient enhancer that softens dried stratum corneum cells, smoothing flaky textures and allowing moisture to penetrate deeply. Ingredients Active Ingredients (% w/w): Isopropyl Myristate 15.0% w/w, Liquid Paraffin 15.0% w/w. Inactive Excipients: Glycerol, Carbomer, Sorbitan Laurate, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Purified Water. Formulation Profile: Free from artificial fragrances, colorings, parabens, and SLS. How to Use: Dispense Gel onto Hands: Press the pump dispenser (or squeeze the tube) to release a liberal amount of doublebase gel. Smooth Lightly Along Hair Growth: Gently apply the gel to the affected areas, smoothing it softly onto the skin in the direction of hair growth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can trigger skin inflammation or hair follicle blockage (folliculitis). Allow Gel to Form Moisture Barrier: Allow the gel to absorb naturally. A thin protective film will remain on the skin surface to lock in hydration. Reapply Regularly Throughout the Day: Apply as often as required to keep skin hydrated, especially after washing, bathing, or showering.
