We are very confident that it Protective Recovery Hand Cream would be a great help in restoring your skin’s beauty and well-being.
Protective Recovery Hand Cream is more than just a simple hand moisturizer. It provides much more than just temporary relief to dry skin.
Our unique formula seeks to address the multiple root causes of skin dryness such as frequent hand washing, exposure to harsh chemicals, changes in hormones during pregnancy, urban stress, and environmental factors such as air conditioning, air travel, climate and UV rays and other visible light rays such as blue light and infrared. Even dryness caused by biological factors such as aging is addressed.
Our skin is made up of 3 layers. The outermost layer that forms the barrier between our body and the external world is called the epidermis. In healthy young skin, the epidermis completely renews itself every month. At the top most layer of our epidermis, there is this very thin but hardy membrane known as the stratum corneum. It is made up of flat, specialized cells called corneocytes. Some people call these dead skin cells but in reality, while they do not contain nuclei or cytoplasmic organelles like other cells, these cells are far from ‘dead’ as they perform many important roles as our skin’s defense barrier.
One of the key roles of corneocytes is they hold the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). The NMF is made up of amino acids and sugar complex. It is our skin’s natural humectant that absorbs water and provides efficient hydration to the stratum corneum.
However, with frequent hand washing, exposure to harsh chemicals and other environmental factors, the NMF level in skin becomes greatly reduced over time. Without sufficient NMF, the stratum corneum, and consequently the skin, becomes dry, brittle, flaky and cracked.
In addition, about 20% of the stratum corneum is made up of a lipid matrix that consists of ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. Together with NMF and the rest of the stratum corneum, these provide the skin with its barrier functions and gives the skin its healthy, youthful luster. Again, with frequent hand washing, aging and all the above mentioned factors, this lipid matrix becomes compromised over time.
The highly specialized Biomimetic Plant Lipid Complex in Protective Recovery Hand Cream is bio-engineered to mimic healthy lipid matrix of youthful 22-year old skin. Clinical studies have shown that this Biomimetic Plant Lipid Complex dramatically restores and strengthens skin barrier, improves skin hydration, and improves skin firmness and elasticity.
In addition, Saccharide Isomerate binds to the stratum corneum to provide instant, rich hydration to the skin that is not easily washed away.
Together with the rest of the formula and emulsion system, both Biomimetic Plant Lipid Complex and Saccharide Isomerate work synergistically to resolve the issue of skin dryness and flaking at deep, multiple levels.
