Defensil®-Plus, when added to a skincare formulation, can aid the skin in dampening the inflammatory process, calm acute skin irritations, help with chronic skin reactions, and assist in restoring a healthy balance to the epidermal skin barrier.
Valuable, multi-active plant extracts and oils, synergistically comprise the Defensil®-Plus compound.
Balloon Vine extract (Cardiospermum Halicacabum) is traditionally used in homeopathy to treat allergic skin rashes and itchiness. Medical research has confirmed that balloon vine can be effective in treating eczema. Herbal extracts containing Balloon Vine are used to reduce dandruff. Internally, powered bark of Balloon Vine is used to treat abdominal discomfort, sore throats, and asthma.
Black Currant seed oil (Ribes Nigrum) has emollient properties that assist in restoring the skin’s normal barrier functions. It improves water retention in the corneum layer (outer layer of the skin) thus improving hydration due to its high linoleic (vitamin F) and oleic (Omega 9) fatty acid content. These actions on the skin’s surface can aid in soothing and reducing inflammatory responses.
Sunflower seed oil (Helianthus Annuus) has been used medicinally for generations by indigenous cultures. It is very beneficial in skincare as it rich in linoleic acid (vitamin F), a fatty acid that assists in protecting the skin’s barrier by limiting water loss. Sunflower oil is known to have anti-inflammatory properties when taken internally or applied to the skin. Rich in Vitamins E (antioxidant) and K (strengthens capillary walls), and amino acids, it’s full of nutrients the skin needs for good health.
Rosemary leaf extract (Rosmarinus Officinalis) has been used in folklore medicine as a nerve tonic, an aid in reducing arthritic pain, headaches, mental and physical stress, and depression. In skincare it has a calming and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.
Defensil®-Plus is an effective skincare ingredient compound to look for in skincare formulations that specifically address chronic skin irritations, flaking, redness, allergic response, and those who may have sensitivities to using skincare products.
The SENSI-SKIN COLLECTION offered up by KATHLEEN PEARA SKINCARE FOR LIFE, contains the Defensil®-Plus compound along with other botanicals and peptides known to assist in giving redness relief to sensitive, compromised skin conditions, and aids in restoring the epidermal skin barrier.
