Dermatological body cleansing

and special care

for dry and very dry skin with

evening primrose seed oil

What is missing for

your baby’s total satisfaction?

The effective care

of its bottom by experts !

To ensure that the baby’s nappy area

does not get sore.

Nappy Area – Disturbed Skin Barrier

Exogenous and Endogenous Factors

The nappy area is subject to exceptional stress: warm and

humid climate – excretory and decomposition products

• Maceration of the skin – disturbance in the barrier function

• Impairment in the skin flora with a possible colonization of pathogenic microorganisms (e. g. candida albicans in diaper dermatitis)

• Insufficient or excessive hygiene, inadequate skin care

skin redness, pimples (eczema, dermatitis), ―soreness―, itching

The negative influences are intensified if there is simultaneously an

endogenous disturbance in the skin barrier (e. g. neurodermatitis)

Nappy Area

• The cleansing and care of the nappy area is thus

highly significant for the well-being of both the

baby and its family

Skin Cleansing:

A Particularly Important Aspect also for the Nappy Area

By common consent – exaggerated cleansing may damage the skin.

Cleansing the skin with surfactants per se already has an inherent damaging potential.

It often suffices to cleanse the baby with clear water, oil or mild

moist towelettes. (But be careful ! Preservatives, surfactants)

When Cleansing the Skin – Use Very Mild Products,

Preferably with Caring Additives

– No alkaline soaps ! These impair the protective acid mantle of the skin, use soap-free skin-neutral syndets instead.

– No strongly degreasing surfactants ! These may impair the skin barrier and lead to exogenously caused damage and drying out, even if the skin is in principle healthy.

• Nature-identical or natural oils and active agents for lipid-replenishing and soothing of the skin

Competent Effective Care

• The EUBOS Research Department developed especially

for the diaper area a cream with active agents for

protection against skin redness and soreness as well as

for the regeneration of damaged skin areas:

EUBOS HAUT RUHE

PROTECTIVE CREAM

With Specific Active Agents

Emulsion Type of

EUBOS PROTECTIVE CREAM with Active Agents:

W/O

• The water in oil emulsion keeps wetness away from the skin.

• In contrast to many competitive products, which contain large

proportions of zinc oxide, it hardly whitens and sticks and is easy to

spread.

• The EUBOS cream contains a moisturizing zinc compound (Zn-PCA)

as active agent component.

• A thick, occlusive layer of a ZnO cream is also no longer necessary

with modern diapers.

EUBOS PROTECTIVE CREAM is characterized

by a special galenic with excellent properties.

(inter alia confirmed by a controlled user trial)

The Emulsion Type:

W/O (Water in Oil) — O/W (Oil in Water)

W/O emulsions provide more fat

than O/W emulsions. In dermatology,

they are preferred for very dry,

stressed skin areas.

For whole body skin care of infants,

the O/W type is usually preferred.

For the care of the diaper area, the

W/O type is recommendable

(water-repellent).

The active agents in

EUBOS HAUT RUHE PROTECTIVE CREAM

and their functions

The Lipids in EUBOS PROTECTIVE CREAM

• Evening primrose seed oil 6 %, strengthens the skin barrier

– rich in linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (Omega-6)

• Sweet almond oil 8 %, very nourishing and skin-smoothing

– rich in Omega-6 fatty acids

• Neutral oil

• Shea butter, verified protective and nourishing effect

Evening Primrose Seed Oil Oenothera biennis

Its high content of

linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid

supports the barrier and protective function of the skin –

in particular also that of atopic skin

with a genetically determined deficiency in these essential fatty acids

Protects the skin from damages

Helps to repair damaged structures

Essential Fatty Acids and their Function in the Skin

6 % Evening Primrose Seed Oil and 8 % Almond Oil

• Linoleic acid (Omega-6) is important for the formation of an intact barrier and protective function of the skin.

In healthy skin, it is a component of ceramide-1, an important barrier lipid. Healthy skin also converts linoleic acid enzymatically into

• Gamma-linolenic acid important parent substance for further biochemical conversion processes. (In case of neurodermatitis, there is an endogenous disturbance in these conversion processes).

• OMEGA-3 fatty acids (contained in Défensil®) have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Allantoin

(see, for example, Food Chemical Society / Division of the Society of German Chemists [GDCH]; Fiedler, Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Excipients,

Cosmetics… 5th Ed. 2002)

• Has an epithelializing effect in rough, chapped skin (supports the healing process).

• Strengthens the resistance of the skin

• Makes the skin smooth and supple (keratoplastic properties)

• Has an anti-inflammatory effect

Note:

A product of protein metabolism in mammals and plants. Chemical synthesis by oxidation of

uric acid with permanganate; heating of uric acid with dichloroacetic acid; out of glycolic acid

and urea.

ahHamamelis Extract Hamamelis virginiana
