Skinfix Cream

Natural formula for everyday use

Designed to treat skin irritations, and fight itch and dry skin.

Eczema is also known as dermatitis and it’s a dry skin condition. The work comes from the Greek word “ekzein”, which means “to boil.” In mild cases, the skin is dry, red, itchy and scaly but in severe cases, there may be weeping, crusting and bleeding. Constant scratching causes the skin to split and bleed and also leaves it open to infection.

The skin is our first barrier to the outer world and protects the body from infection and irritation. It has different layers: a thin one outside, an elastic one in the middle and a fatty one at the deepest. Water is crucial for healthy skin: the outer layer attracts it and the deeper one helps retain the moisture. [1]

SkinFix is a barrier Cream that boosts skin's natural protective properties by retaining water to aid healing.

Zinc has been used in dermatology for centuries:

• Has anti-inflammatory properties and increases re-epithelialization supporting its use for treating eczemas. [2]
• Creates a barrier on top of damaged skin to allow a faster healing process by retaining the moisture [3]
• Helps reduce the tenderness after sunburns
• Has antibacterial properties that prevent infections caused by persistent scratching [4].

Coconut Oil has also some benefits for your skin:

• Increases hydration by trapping moisture in your skin
• Increases collagen production: the lauric acid content in coconut oil has a beneficial effect on collagen protection [5]. Collagen helps skin maintain firmness and elasticity. [6]

Aloe Vera doesn’t need any introduction as it is one of the best moisturizers on earth!
