NEW! Atopic Lotion

Atopic dermatitis is a lifelong disease that has its ups and downs. Sometimes the condition improves significantly, but the skin on the body and face usually remains dry. People with skin diseases are generally prone to a permanently damaged skin barrier. Our skin has a different composition of epidermal lipids than healthy people, which makes it unable to produce components that are key to establishing a skin barrier, which protects the skin from water loss and from the penetration of external factors into the body.

A damaged skin barrier results in excessive water loss from the skin. The percentage of moisture in our epidermis decreases, which also affects other important processes in the skin. As skin moisture changes, the composition of epidermal lipids changes, enzyme activity and the skin renewal cycle change, which can cause the skin to peel more intensely. Replacing epidermal lipids is crucial for restoring the skin barrier and maintaining an optimal percentage of water in the epidermis.

New Skinfairytale Atopic Lotion will ensure that the skin is intensely moisturized and nourished. AtopicLotion will help restore the skin barrier, while also reducing water loss from the skin.

What ingredients are found in Skinfairytale AtopicLotion?

AtopicLotion contains ingredients such as phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycerol, niacinamide, panthenol, allantoin, all in a base of sunflower oil, mango butter, and borage oil. Let's take a look at how each ingredient affects the skin and how it can help care for dry to very dry skin.

Phospholipids

Phospholipids are a type of lipid molecule that are a major component of cell membranes . Phospholipids are characterized by having a head and a tail, the 'head' of the phospholipid is hydrophilic, meaning it likes water, while the 'tail' of the phospholipid is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. Combined, this means that the phospholipid attracts and absorbs water, and is a key component in keeping the skin hydrated. Phospholipids could be said to be They act like a second skin , as they mimic the skin's natural lipids. Phospholipids smooth the skin and They make the skin more flexible, protect against lipid loss and improve moisture levels in the skin .

Sphingolipids

Sphingolipids are a group of lipids that perform important functions in the skin. Ceramides are among the most important epidermal sphingolipids and make up approximately 50% of the lipids in the skin. Ceramides are one of the main lipids that They maintain an intact skin barrier and prevent water loss from the skin . People with skin diseases usually lack ceramides in their skin, which makes it unable to retain water and protect itself from external factors. By applying ceramides in the form of a cosmetic product, We stimulate the skin to produce its own ceramides .

Glycerol

Glycerol is a trihydroxy alcohol or polyol by its structure. It is an organic compound found in nature as part of triglycerides. If it is an alcohol, doesn't it dry out the skin? No, you should know that not all alcohols are the same in terms of structure and function. Polyols are molecules that are excellent moisturizers. Glycerol is part of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which maintains the proper level of moisture in the skin. Some properties of glycerol:

• It maintains water balance (homeostasis) in the body.
• It is a powerful moisturizer in humid climates, forming a reservoir in the skin that reduces moisture evaporation.
• Glycerol signals cells to mature normally; in skin conditions like psoriasis, skin cells shed before they can even mature. Studies have shown that glycerol increases skin renewal time, giving cells time to mature.
• It improves the appearance of the skin; in addition to maintaining high skin moisture, it is a natural soothing agent with mild exfoliating properties.
• Helps restore the skin's barrier function ; some studies have shown that glycerol helps restore the barrier. Topically, glycerol stimulates lipid synthesis in the epidermis, guides cells to grow and mature properly, and also accelerates wound healing.

Niacinamide

Also known as vitamin B3, it is a water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural components of our skin to help visibly reduce enlarged pores and strengthen the barrier function of the epidermis. Niacinamide reduces the impact of external factors that damage the skin and weaken the barrier function, and in addition repairs skin damage already done . Vitamin B3 protects skin from moisture loss and dehydration by helping to enhance the natural production of ceramides. If you struggle with dry skin, topical application of niacinamide has been shown to increase the moisturizing capacity of natural moisturizing factors (NMF) so that the skin's surface can better resist moisture loss.

Panthenol

Panthenol is present in all living cells, which makes it a perfect ingredient for skin care . When panthenol is applied to the skin, it is converted into pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is easily absorbed by the skin and penetrates deep into the skin. Pantothenic acid acts as a humectant, retaining moisture deep in the skin tissues. Clinical studies have shown that panthenol, after being converted into pantothenic acid, It intensely moisturizes the skin, also has anti-inflammatory properties, relieves itching and soothes dry skin . Interestingly, a lack of vitamin B5 in the skin can cause dermatological disorders.

Allantoin

Allantoin is a well-researched ingredient that is widely used in cosmetic products due to the many positive effects it has on the skin. Allantoin It has a moisturizing effect, increasing the water content in our skin . It can also stimulate cell growth and division, which in turn stimulates the growth of new tissues and strengthens the skin barrier. It stimulates the skin healing process , making it a suitable ingredient for treating minor wounds. Allantoin soothes sensitive skin and skin prone to inflammation.

Mango butter

Mango butter is suitable for the care of dry, irritated and allergy-prone skin . It works anti-inflammatory , antioxidant and regenerative . It also acts vulnerary, which means that accelerates wound healing .

Borage oil

Borage oil is extracted from the seeds of the Borago officinalis plant. The key benefit of borage oil is its high concentration of a fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Borage oil contains up to 23% GLA. Patients with skin diseases are commonly found to have a deficiency of gamma linolenic acid, which is why borage oil is optimal for the care of such skin . Borage oil is excellent for the care of dry skin, and also helps to strengthen the skin barrier. Similar to allantoin, it soothes skin prone to inflammation.
