Colloidal Oatmeal (1%): Soothes and calms irritated, inflamed, or sensitive skin by forming a protective barrier and helping to retain moisture.

Panthenol (1%): Also known as Vitamin B5, Panthenol helps to hydrate, support skin healing, and alleviate irritation.

Allantoin (0.5%): A skin-soothing ingredient that helps moisturize and relieve skin irritation and discomfort.

Aloe Vera Extract (2%): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Aloe Vera helps calm and soothe the skin, reducing redness and irritation.

Shea Butter (3%): A rich source of fatty acids and vitamins, Shea Butter deeply moisturizes and softens the skin without causing irritation.

Ceramides (1%): Strengthens the skin's natural barrier, locks in moisture, and helps protect against external irritants.

The Colloidal Oatmeal 1% Soothing Moisturizer is formulated with advanced dermatological science to provide targeted relief for sensitive and irritated skin:

• Colloidal Oatmeal (1%): Contains beta-glucans and avenanthramides, which act on molecular pathways to reduce inflammation by inhibiting cytokines like TNF-α and IL-1. It forms a protective barrier, locks in moisture, and suppresses NF-κB, reducing itchiness and irritation. Colloidal Oatmeal, due to its finely milled structure, has an optimal surface area to bind moisture to the skin while forming a protective layer, preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
• Panthenol (1%): Upon application, Panthenol is converted to pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), a precursor to coenzyme A, which is crucial for cellular metabolism and the synthesis of fatty acids. These processes are vital for maintaining the skin's lipid barrier. Panthenol improves hydration by acting as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin while enhancing its barrier function. It also reduces irritation by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and supporting tissue repair.
• Allantoin (0.5%): Allantoin's mode of action involves keratolytic and cell proliferative properties. It promotes desquamation (the shedding of dead skin cells), which helps prevent skin irritation by keeping the surface smooth. Allantoin enhances wound healing by stimulating fibroblast proliferation in the dermis, promoting collagen synthesis, and improving the overall repair process of damaged skin tissue. By blocking TRPV-1 receptors, it reduces irritation and discomfort.
• Aloe Vera Extract (2%): Aloe Vera contains polysaccharides, including acemannan, which forms a protective hydrating layer on the skin’s surface. The polysaccharides in Aloe Vera bind to water molecules, ensuring sustained hydration. It also contains glycoproteins that reduce the inflammatory response by inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, which are involved in the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Additionally, Aloe Vera supports fibroblast activity, accelerating wound healing and increasing collagen production, which is critical for maintaining skin structure.
• Shea Butter (3%): Rich in essential fatty acids, such as oleic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid, Shea Butter integrates into the lipid bilayers of the skin, restoring and reinforcing the skin barrier. This action reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), ensuring that moisture remains trapped within the skin. The fatty acids in Shea Butter also help restore the stratum corneum’s lipid matrix, essential for barrier function. Additionally, the antioxidants (vitamins A and E) in Shea Butter neutralize free radicals, preventing oxidative damage to sensitive skin.
• Ceramides (1%): Ceramides are integral to the structural integrity of the skin's outer layer, the stratum corneum. These lipid molecules form part of the lamellar structure within the stratum corneum, binding skin cells together and creating a protective barrier. Topically applied ceramides mimic the skin’s natural ceramide composition, replenishing the lipid barrier and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This helps the skin retain moisture while defending against environmental irritants such as pollutants and allergens.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide immediate and long-lasting relief to sensitive skin. By reducing inflammation, repairing the skin barrier, and providing deep hydration, the moisturizer targets the root causes of irritation and redness, resulting in calmer, more resilient skin.
