cholesterol
triglycerides
Augment ILs in intercellular spaces of stratum corneum. Facilitate
barrier lipid repair. Natural Moisturising Factors
glycerin sodium lactate lactic acid urea serine
Supplement NMFs in stratum corneum to enhance moisture-binding capacity in upper
epidermis. B-group vitamins niacinamide (Vit. B3) 2% panthenol (Vit. B5) 2%
Help reduce sensitivity by protecting immune function and fortifying barrier
function Antioxidants retinyl palmitate (Vit. A ester) ascorbyl pamitate (Vit.
C ester) tocopherol acetate (Vit. E ester)
Act as exogenous free radical scavengers to militate against formation of reactive
oxygen species and other free radicals.
Phytoestrogens
bisabolol 0.25%
panax ginseng 0.1%
Help smooth and soften dry skin. Promotes suppleness and elasticity.
STUDIES AND FURTHER READING
INTERCELLULAR LIPIDS
Topical physiological lipids such as ceramides and cholesterol can help restore
biochemical balance in barrier-impaired skin. Nonphysiological lipids such as
lanolin assist with barrier function without long-term correction.1
B GROUP VITAMINS
Recent research by Bissett et.al has revealed that Niacinamide and Panthenol
can play an important role in preserving the skin’s immune surveillance
responses and reducing sensitivity by helping to strengthen barrier function.2
MEDILAN
Purified medical grade lanolin (Medilan) is a superior non-physiological lipid
for use in wound healing when compared to petrolatum and other occlusive agents3
ANTIOXIDANTS
In vivo studies show topical anti-oxidants afford considerable protection against
UVA-induced damage. Studies also show reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS)
with topical antioxidant use.4
PHYTOESTROGENS
Studies show phytoestrogens help improve barrier function. They may also be implicated
in the prevention of ageing-related lipid peroxidation. Evidence also suggests
that they mimic the skin softening and hydrating effects of endogenous estrogens.5

enriched
hydration
PATIENT
BENEFITS
| • |
Maximum
skin hydration from Intercellular Lipids (ILs) and
Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) – the skin’s
own moisturising systems. |
| • |
Helps
restores suppleness and softness with phytoestrogens |
| • |
B-group
vitamins (B3 & B5) assist with barrier function
and reduce photo-induced sensitivity. Vitamin B also
enhances the skin’s immune responses. |
| • |
Anti-oxidant
vitamins A, C & E help reduce sensitivity, and
protect from photo-damage. |
NEED
TO KNOW
| • |
Dry
skin is caused by a depletion of ILs and NMFs in the
epidermis. Enriched Hydration works to replenish these
components, fortifying the skin’s protective barrier. |
| • |
Dry
skin is almost always sensitive. This is due to
depletion of ILs and NMFs which normally
protect the skin from irritants. When skin is deficient
in these components, environmental irritants can
more readily penetrate the epidermis and create
sensitivity. |
PRODUCT
USAGE
| • |
Enriched
Hydration may be applied liberally at any time
of day. |
| • |
A
second layer of Enriched Hydration
can be applied around the eye area
to reduce dryness and sensitivity. |
STUDIES AND FURTHER READING
Intercellular Lipids
According to research, topical physiological lipids such as
ceramides and cholesterol can restore biochemical balance in
barrier-impaired skin. Nonphysiological lipids such as lanolin
assist with barrier function without long-term correction.1
Antioxidants
In vivo studies show topical anti-oxidants afford considerable
protection against UVA-induced damage. Studies also show
reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) with topical
antioxidant use.2
