Care for dry, tight or uncomfortable skin with gentle emollients that hydrate and help support the skin’s natural barrier. The Doublebase range is designed for everyday comfort, with silky textures that spread easily and leave a protective layer to reduce moisture loss. Whether you’re building a simple daily routine or looking for extra care during periods of increased dryness, you’ll find straightforward solutions here.
Regular use of emollients is one of the simplest ways to keep skin soft and supple. These formulations work by smoothing the outer layer and forming a light, protective film that helps lock in hydration after washing or showering. Reach for a dedicated daily gel like the Dry Skin Emollient whenever skin feels tight or rough. Apply generously and as often as needed, especially after bathing and before bed, to help maintain a comfortable feel throughout the day.
Skin can sometimes feel more sensitive or dehydrated due to weather, frequent handwashing, or changes in routine. Adding a targeted option such as Flare Relief Emollient can offer extra care when you need it most. Its smooth texture glides on without tugging and helps calm areas that feel particularly dry. For best results, use enough to leave a slight sheen, then reapply whenever skin starts to lose moisture.
Consistency is key. Use your emollient liberally, smoothing it in the same direction as hair growth to minimise drag. Apply after cleansing while the skin is still slightly damp to help seal in water. If you prefer to top up hydration during bath time, the Emollient Bath Additive can be added to warm water to leave skin feeling nourished once you step out. Pat dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing, then follow with your chosen gel to layer moisture.
