<ul>
<li>Reduce trans-epidermal water loss and contamination post procedure Decrease inflammation and bacterial risks</li>
<li>Restore skin barrier function</li>
<li>Provides a protective layer over treated skin</li>
<li>Promotes rapid healing</li>
<li>Enhances procedural outcomes and results</li>
</ul>
<p>Apply immediately after ablative and semi-ablative skin resurfacing and rejuvenation procedures. Repeat multiple, daily application throughout the healing period.</p>
<p><u><strong>Safflower Seed Oil</strong></u></p>
<p>A plant lipid that is rich in Omega 6 Linoleic Acid, a critical essential fatty acid sound in the skin barrier. Studies have shown that Omega 6 rich lipids can restore skin barrier function, promote healing, and reduce inflammation. Assimilates with the barrier and adds value, compared to silicones and petrolatum.</p>
<p><u><strong>Glucosyl Ceramides/ Phospholipids/ Cholesterol</strong></u></p>
<p>A natural, highly purified and concentrated blend of monogalactosylceramide, cholesterol and phospholipids that are analogous to human epidermal lipids. These are key molecules of the stratum corneum for maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier, protecting skin from dryness and insuring the cohesion of corneocytes. Renews epidermal keratinocytes and prevents trans-epidermal water loss.</p>
<p><u><strong>Tocopherol</strong></u></p>
<p>A natural, 100% sunflower derived Vitamin E that contains a mix blend of the most dominant lipid soluble antioxidant in the skin. Healing, reduces oxidative stress, accelerates wound healing and moisturizes.</p>
<p><u><strong>Pomegranate Sterols</strong></u></p>
<p>Sterol-rich fraction of pomegranate seed oil that is high in Conjugated Linolenic Acid. Increases barrier function and repair, deeply hydrates and moisturizes, and is anti-inflammatory. Acts a highly nutritive, direct replacement for petrolatum. Reduces trans-epidermal water loss.</p>
<p><u><strong>Elderberry Extract</strong></u></p>
<p>A superfruit known for its immunomodulating properties. Rich in a variety of phytonutrients that exhibit both anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, such as caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, anthocyanins, and quercetin. A concentrated source of undecylenic acid, an organic fatty acid that provides broad-spectrum anti-microbial benefits.</p>
<p><u><strong>Bisabolol</strong></u></p>
<p>BisabololBeta Defensin-3 (hBD-3)PURPOSEAquaporin-3 (AQP)Transforming Growth Factor beta-3 (TGF-b3)Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate</p>
<p><br>
<u><strong>Beta Defensin-3 (hBD-3)</strong></u></p>
<p>A skin-native antimicrobial peptide, that maintains broad spectrum activity against skin pathogens, viruses, and fungi. Acts as selective target of pathogenic microbes, while favoring commensals, supporting probiotic activity and microbiome homeostats. Has proven to be a potent anti-inflammatory, increases keratinocyte proliferation for accelerated wound healing, and influences the skins immune system to become stronger and more robust in its protective capacity.</p>
<p><u><strong>Aquaporin-3 (AQP)</strong></u></p>
<p>A cell membrane protein and osmolyte, that allows enhanced flow of uncharged molecules like water, glycerol, and urea, to freely pass into the cells inner chamber, rapidly increasing cellular hydration. For optimal wound healing, well hydrated keratinocytes are required for proper proliferation and differentiation. Aquaporins represent a new class of hydration molecules.</p>
<p><u><strong>Transforming Growth Factor beta-3 (TGF-b3)</strong></u></p>
<p>A quintessential anti-inflammatory growth factor that regulates epidermal and dermal cells in healing. TGF-b3 promotes scarless wound healing and rapid skin reepithelization post procedure.</p>
<p><u><strong>Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate</strong></u></p>
<p>A lipid ester of glycyrrhetinic acid, one of the most therapeutic active compounds found within licorice root, with a chemical structure similar to cortisone. These active constituents, known as pentacyclic triterpenoids, are known anti-irritants and anti-inflammatories. They help to slow the release of histamines, prostaglandins, and interleukins during the inflammatory phase of wound healing, helping to calm redness/erythema, soothe the skin, and reduce burning/itching. It has anti-bacterial properties as well.</p>
