Barrier cream for sensitive and atopic skin and skin exposed to injuries or irritants, and therefore prone to contact eczema. As for in-vivo (tested on real people) efficacy, 1% Antarcticine (the trade name for the diluted version of the Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract) cream increased skin hydration by 14. Mineral oil does not give the skin any extra goodness, it is simply a non-irritating moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity.A light-feeling, volatile (meaning it does not absorb into the skin but evaporates from it) silicone that gives skin a unique, silky and non-greasy feel.

Thanks to a carefully composed and tested combination of active ingredients effectively nourishes the skin very dry, rough, cracked and itchy.A polymeric (big molecule from repeated subunits) emulsifier that comes from Inulin, a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the roots and rhizomes of several plants. Dermatological cosmetics simultaneously work in multiple ways, reversing the causes and effects of dryness and restoring the natural barrier function to treat dry, dehydrated, and atopy-prone dermis. A great study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology compared a bunch of vitamin C derivatives and this derivative was the only one where the study said in terms of stability that it's "similar to AA".

It's a bioengineered ingredient obtained by solvent-free enzymatic synthesis from the linoleic-rich safflower oil. By combining patented active substances immediately relieves itching, complements the deficiencies of the stratum corneum and rebuilds lipid coat of the skin.If you are into chemistry (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph), the reason is that electrolytes (you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions) screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles (instead of spherical ones) that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed.
