COSMETIC INNOVATION FOR ALLERGIC SKIN

Online Fashion Store

Here is a dermatological innovation that should speak to some of you. I am one of those with fairly sensitive, very dry skin, which requires special care whether on the face or the body.

I remember exactly when the first signs of discomfort appeared in adolescence. My skin became more and more dry, and especially I started to have very severe itching in certain places of the body, and even a beginning of eczema.

It took a short time to understand where it came from: I was damn allergic (and still am) to certain metals including Nickel which we found at the time almost everywhere in costume jewelry but also earrings. belt, jeans buttons ... I found my stomach on fire after buying jeans that included!

It was during this time that I discovered the  Isoclip dermatological varnish.
Today it is possible to trigger a contact allergy to anything and it can be surprising (believe me if I tell you that I am allergic to the metallic part of the iPad ? It is true).

Good news, a range of cosmetics directly targeted for sensitive and allergic skin has emerged:  SKINTIFIQUE.

Skintific minimalism

Skintifique is a new French laboratory whose ambition is to provide a solution for demanding, sensitive and allergic skin, suffering from dermatological reactions or problems such as eczema, psoriasis, etc.

Unlike the surrounding fashion, the brand does not race for active ingredients in its products: we find the classics that have demonstrated their effectiveness and safety (glycerin, bisabolol, castor oil) and incorporates the bare minimum in its products' ingredients: there are between 5 and 13 ingredients in the 4 products that make up the Skintifique range.

And obviously 0% formulas of parabens, silicones, mineral oil, perfume, lanolin, etc.

Skintifique Innovations

It is in the way in which the assets are assembled that Skintifique innovates. These innovations make it possible to reveal the properties of the ingredients.
2 advances are highlighted by the brand:

• Capturific : the first technology that protects the skin from metals such as nickel, chromium, cobalt. It works as UV protection and captures metal particles to prevent them from entering the skin.
• Activifique : a technology which allows the controlled and progressive diffusion of active ingredients in a targeted manner.

The Skintifique range

Let's talk in more detail four products that make up the range, starting with the  Cleansing Lotion P. You must have been often surprised like me to see INCI lists extended on micellar waters, and that of Skintifique contains only… 5 ingredients.

Not too much is needed: pure demineralized water, mild surfactants, it is just as effective and above all super soft for sensitive skin. And if there is indeed a product that deserves such minimalism it is micellar water, Skintifique has everything good, thank you to them. 

Then, we have a  Moisturizing Body Milk HP  which provides hydration and protection from contact with objects containing irritating metals. It hydrates very well (believe my hyper dry skin in winter) while remaining light and non-sticky. The pump format is super practical Simple and effective. 

Then we have the Hydrating Gel Plus HS, which is an ultra mega face and body moisturizer concentrated in glycerin (one of the highest concentrations in the world). Its formula is based on pure demineralized water, castor oil, and bisabolol, which provide a triple emollient, moisturizing and soothing action. Thanks to the Activifique technology mentioned above, the release of active ingredients is done in a continuous and targeted manner. It is a real SOS treatment (and as winter promises to be harsh I really recommend that you have it in your drawers).

Last but not least, here is the star of the range: The HPS Protective Cream, the one that protects against metals, and it is the only one in the world to do it. Protection goes from 5h to more than 14h. It can thus be applied everywhere: ear lobes, arms, belly… and note that the sensitivity to the metal is controlled (in almost 70% of the tests carried out the skin showed no discomfort or reaction at the end of the exposure objects). In my case, I apply it on the ear lobes (if today few costume jewels contain nickel, there is still sometimes a tiny quantity in certain alloys… and I feel it after a while my lobes go on fire) and it's super-efficient. I also apply it on the hands and I invite anyone who has to handle metals (jewelry designers, handymen, etc.) to use this cream as a hand cream.

These are therefore high-performance products that Online Fashion Store highly recommend!
