Skin Care

Skin breakdown and protection

Skin protects our bodies from injury and water loss; as we age, skin loses its elasticity and can become more fragile which can increase rise of injury. Permeability can increase and this can lead to transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Occlusives

Occlusive emollients such as paraffin oils, function by ‘trapping’ moisture in the skin and forming a layer over the skin to reduce moisture loss.
True emollients

True emollients help restore the skins natural barrier through physically replenishing the lipid bilayers using essential fatty acids. Examples include plant oils and fatty acids.
Humectants

Humectants such as glycerol and urea have water attracting properties to bind water molecules into the skin.

Rethink Emollient Skin Care

Linovera® contains hyperoxygenated fatty acids (HOFA) from sunflowers, which is high in linoleic acid – an essential fatty acid found naturally in the skin.

The combination of ingredients helps the skin repair lipid loss, rebuild the skins structure and restore the natural barrier function.

HOFA from sunflower oil

Helps to enhance skin integrity, maintain moisture levels and prevent dehydration.

Centella

Has a toning and soothing effect on the skin whilst acting as a skin conditioner, helping to reduce redness and inflammation in the skin.

Aloe Vera

Acts as emollient and humectant, drawing moisture into the stratum corneum, helping to improve the skins elasticity, reduce superficial flaking and improve dry skin.

Rosemary essence

Offers a smooth and pleasant aroma.

Before Linovera® Use

Compromised skin will appear dull, flakey, itchy and have increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

The lack of essential fatty acids in the stratum corneum means the corneocytes ('bricks') are not supported by the intracellular lipid matrix, leaving the skin devitalised.

After Linovera® Use

Linovera® can help support flexible, hydrated, resistant and comfortable skin.

Due to the high concentration of linoleic acid in Linovera, the fatty acids are absorbed into the intercellular lipid matrix, providing structure for the corneocytes and improving the skin's natural barrier function by maintaining epidermal integrity and preventing dehydration from TEWL.
