Apifil Lotion

All Natural Skin Barrier Repair Lotion

Most people experience dry skin and the irritation that comes with it, from time to time, which indicates that something more serious and sinister is happening beneath the skin, and more often than not, it indicates the progressive damage to the most important skin defence, the skin barrier. Our skin is the largest organ of the human body and primarily functions as a natural defence against harmful and deleterious elements like environmental pollutants, microbial infections, allergens, chemicals, etc. and prevents them from entering the body.

The skin barrier is constituted of lots of layers, acts as a defensive wall. The skin barrier lies beneath the outermost layer of skin and is made up of three key lipids or fats, like Ceramides, Cholesterol, and Fatty acids. Even though the skin barrier functions as a mighty wall against the external harmful elements yet it gets damaged by the elements, that are largely out of our control, like ageing, genetics, environmental pollutants, our lifestyle and wrong skincare routines, which in turn, greatly influences the skin barrier function and its possible weakening. When any one of these constituents of the skin barrier gets misbalanced, the skin problems tend to appear like, dry skin conditions to severe atopic dermatitis.

 

Furthermore, due to the impaired barrier function, the skin’s moisture tends to escape from the skin at a faster pace, enhancing the magnitude of Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), making the skin dry and itchy. This dry skin condition may also result in skin infections due to the excoriation and scratched skin caused by the reduction of the protective skin acid mantle.

Signs of skin barrier damage are quite visible and manifest as redness, sensitive or inflamed areas, rosacea, dry, scaly skin, uneven coloured patches, tightness and irritation, bacterial, or fungal infections, leading to the conditions like atopic dermatitis and its advanced form, Eczema.

 

One of the short-term solutions can be to use symptom management by applying emollients to the skin, which are usually petroleum jelly based and adding its chemical elements, to the skin, and providing short-lived relief from the symptoms and discomfort. However, for long term relief and protection, the best and most preferred way is to go for long-term skin health by repairing the body’s skin barrier function with its natural constituents, like skin-identical Ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids.

Apifil lotion is an intensive moisturizing, non-steroidal lotion for the long-lasting repair of skin barrier function. It is formulated with natural and safe actives like Ceramides, fatty acids, antioxidants, natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) and anti-irritant Hesperidin, to repair even the most severely damaged skin barrier and dry skin conditions.
