It’s no secret that science has been quickly proving that environmental pollutants are wreaking havoc on our health and our skin.
What’s worse is that it’s the pollutants found inside our homes and workplaces that are the ones that are the most harmful.
Our homes are being polluted by an accumulation of molecules that are brought in by solvents (cleaners), cigarette smoke, outside air, mites, molds, building materials, and allergens.
If you do the research, people are exposed to 2 to 5 times more contaminants inside than they are outside.
The damaging effects of pollutants inside and outside of our homes and businesses are widespread, and increasing.
The effects on the skin include severe dryness, eczema, premature aging, and acne to name a few.
While most are aware that outdoor pollutants can he harmful, or even deadly, not everyone is aware of the damaging effects and health risks linked to indoor pollutants.
Aside from improving ventilation and keeping humidity inside the home low, Clariant is providing a way to create a barrier between this exposure to pollutants, and your skin.
What Does This Mean?
The combination of pollutant and heavy metal exposure has led to atopic prone skin, or hypersensitive skin that is dry, irritated, or afflicted with eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions.
It is estimated that 60% of the world’s population is now suffering with atopic prone skin.
Clariant, being one of the world’s leaders in creating sustainable and innovative solutions for customers in many industries, has found a solution for this too.
Clariant’s research is focused on development and addressing the trends, all with as much detail as possible.
This includes renewable raw materials, conserving finite resources, emission free mobility, and energy efficiency.
Clariant has become a world leader in specialty chemicals, and has now introduced to the personal care industry a product that will control hypersensitivity and atopic prone skin triggered by the toxins inside our homes and businesses.
A new ingredient called Eosidin tackles immuno-modulation and has shown remarkable results in clinical studies on atopic prone skin.
What Is Eosidin?
Eosidin is an extract of green citrus unshiu, from the protected reserve of Jeju Island in Korea.
The highly potent molecules Synephrine, Hesperidin, and Naringin play a big role in regulating and decreasing conditions that cause hypersensitivity.
Targeting eosinophils and eotaxin in the skin, which are both key in the skin’s immune response, Eosidin will reduce the hypersensitivity and atopic skin conditions.
Eosidin is water soluble, making it easy to formulate for face and body creams, lotions, serums, toners, masks, and facial mists.
What’s even better is that this ingredient has no impact on color or smell, and is compliant with China’s regulations.
Tests completed on clinical volunteers over a period of 8 weeks showed a dramatic decrease in atopic conditions, hypersensitivity, itching, and trans epidermal water loss; all resulting in improved skin barrier function and increased hydration.
With the technological advancements available to consumers today, Clariant has done it’s research and work in discovering ingredients and developing products to combat the damage done to our skin as a result of environmental pollutants.
With over 60% of the world’s population is affected by atopic or hypersensitive skin, Clariant has made it their mission to combat this statistic with results that work.
Skincare has continued to be a billion-dollar industry; however many products will do more harm than good.
The research and clinical studies required to provide preventative products to consumers has not been a priority, with the numbers of those affected with hypersensitivity continuing to rise.
The barrier required to allow the skin to heal, while making more changes in the home regarding cleaners, air fresheners, and solvents, are all equally important components to decreasing the effects of atopic prone skin.
Clariant is determined to make these products available worldwide and accessible to everyone, it is their mission to decrease the effects of pollutants on the skin by introducing the first ever indoor pollution controller for skin care.
On average, people are exposed to over 515 pollutants every day, leaving our skin to face an abundance of challenges from environmental to natural dermatological conditions.
With just under 200 skin products available along with multiple active ingredients, Clariant offers cosmetics, skin care, sunscreens, household care, skin cleansing, hair care and more. Clariant is supporting every consumer with powerful solutions for perfect products.
Clarian has promised to combat atopic prone skin conditions provide consumers with products that will decrease dryness and itchiness, strengthen the skin by forming a barrier and improved immune response, and improving general atopic skin conditions and sooth hypersensitivity with state of the art ingredients like Eosidin.
