More about Ultra Caring Body Balm
Mondo Grass
This patented natural active helps to improve the skins ability to hold in hydration and stimulates filaggrin production for a healthier, balanced skin barrier.
Niacinamide
Boosts skin’s ability to maintain hydration so skin can better resist the moisture loss that leads to dry, tight, flaky skin. Niacinamide also improves skin texture.
Shea butter
Contains natural blend of emoilents and waxes to soften and hydrate the skin. Improves the skin's natural barrier and also protects skin from damage caused by environmental triggers like pollutants.
Our body balm is designed to be used daily, as an everyday moisturiser. The product absorbs quickly into the skin meaning it can fit effectively into your morning or evening skincare routine.
Our Caring Skin Fix is a targeted spot treatment, whereas our Ultra Caring Body Balm is a daily moisturiser for your whole body. Our Skin Fix has a thick texture designed to be used on small areas of dryness or soreness. Our body balm has a rich, balmy consistency, meaning it can spread over larger areas of skin, providing all over care. Both are formulated to calm the skin, and offer intensive moisturisation.
Does your skin switch between feeling ‘normal’, to dry, sensitive, or a mix of all? Does your skin feel dry even after moisturising? Do you experience keratosis pilaris, dry palms or skin that cracks easily and is slow to heal? Is your skin eczema prone? Is there a history of eczema in your family? Whilst there is currently no medical test, if you answered yes to most of the questions above it's quite possible you may have the dry skin gene.
Discovered in 2006 by a team of researchers at the University of Dundee, the dry skin gene is a condition affecting up to 10% of the population and 50% of people with eczema-prone skin.
This means your skin can have reduced levels of an essential protein called filaggrin which can cause a damaged, sensitive skin barrier that is prone to dryness and cracking.
If your skin has low levels of filaggrin, frequent applications of traditional moisturisers may not be effective in soothing your dry skin. Your skin will require a more tailored, intensive moisturiser with clinically proven actives to boost filaggrin levels and alleviate dry, cracked skin.
Our Ultra Caring range is specifically tailored for skin in need of more daily intensive treatment such as extremely dry, sensitive and eczema prone skin. Our Caring range includes theraputic skincare formulas for everyday prevention.
Using advanced ingredients, our Ultra Caring formulas help bring skin thats prone to discomfort back to a healthy balance, and our Caring range helps maintain healthy, balanced skin.
