Many people are affected by redness, dry skin, acne, sunburn, hives and other bumps and blemishes caused by sensitive skin. The exact cause of the condition itself may vary, as some attribute certain symptoms to genetics, while others blame food, cosmetics and other environmental factors.

Treating sensitive skin will depend on which symptoms are present, and may also be influenced by the cause of symptoms.

Fair skinned individuals may be prone to sunburn or freckling, while others with sensitive skin may be susceptible to fine lines, wrinkles and other cosmetic blemishes. Allergic reactions and other skin problems have also been attributed to sensitive skin.

Induchem is a leading Swiss producer of cosmetic actives, carrier systems and other raw material ingredients for the personal care industry since 1946. From the research centre located near Zurich, the company has afforded this complex subject and developed an innovative approach to regulate the level of tolerance and the long term balance of the skin.

Induchem is presenting a new range of actives working synergistically to:

• Stimulate skin’s innate and adaptive immunity response at the keratinocyte level.
• Reinforce skin’s biological balance in response to external aggressions.
• Stimulate major pro-immunity markers.
• Protect immunity sentinels such as Langerhans cells.
• Modulate the skin reactivity by using powerful JAK/STAT and NF-kB inhibitors.
• Reduce irritation in a short time.
• Boost the skin immunity for long term soothing.

These new actives are ideal for stressed and sensitive skin.

A true petrolatum alternative
Until antibiotics conquered the world, the only possible method for curing gangrene was maggot therapy, except for amputation of the extremities. Maggots were applied to the wound and would eat the necrotic tissue, including the organisms that were responsible for that.

Skin defences boosted by grapefruit extract
Humans are constantly exposed to harmful foreign chemicals and materials from exogenous and endogenous sources. As a result, defence mechanisms have evolved to protect against toxin overload.1 Cells are under constant threat from metabolic waste products and xenobiotics. The formation of phase I and phase II metabolism mobilises and excretes these mainly lipophilic toxins.
