Olivem® 1000 Crystal Skin™ is the first emulsifying active ingredient. One important role of the stratum corneum barrier function is to protect us against environmental stress factors.

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of the Olivem 1000 Crystal Skin in increasing the integrity of the cutaneous barrier. The homeostatic action of the skin-compatible liquid crystals, generated by Olivem 1000 Crystal Skin, allows to maintain optimal physiological function of the skin barrier ensuring maximal protection from harsh environmental damage. Olivem 1000 Crystal Skin is made and patented in Italy by B&T.

The formation of phase I and phase II metabolism mobilises and excretes these mainly lipophilic toxins.
