a fragrance-free emollient “soap substitute” should be used instead, despite the fact that this type of product does not foam or lather.
If you forget to use Doublebase Emollient Bath Additive- Do not worry if you occasionally forget to use it, just carry on using the product as described the next time you bathe.
