THE DERMASALVE GUARANTEE FOR MOTHERS:

Adults at random make choice about skin care ointment and lotions guided by hearsay and advertisements but when it comes to their children these same adults tend to be cautious and weigh the scales. Unfortunately today’s generation of little ones is more exposed to chemicals than before. The skin of the infant reacts far more quickly than that of the adult.
Chemicals or proteins in natural stuff can cause reactions to the skin and irritate it. Protein allergies develop quickly. Chemical reactions are more deadly because they show up over a period of time and cause great worry for Mothers.  

The skin of the infant is much thinner than that of the adult and therefore the barrier function is comparatively low. Many babies are victims of dry sensitive skin during their initial years. Mothers need to be aware of this. There are many chemicals in baby moisturizers that may be picked up from renowned shop shelves. The effect is cumulative – keeps on adding to its negative forces only to flare up in later life causing painful skin irritations. Parabens as well as lanolin may cause reactions. In fact there is an ongoing research about the link of parabens with cancer. Another enemy of skin is alcohol – it can cause dryness and irritation.  
DermaSalve is the first of its kind in skincare products dealing with moisturizing. It has no skin sensitizers like parabens or lanolin. Its ingredients have been especially formulated to take care of the dry and sensitive skin of babies and infants. The credit for the development of this range goes to Dr. Mark Randle who is a practicing general practitioner. A personal problem triggered off his activities. The skin of his youngest skin began to react negatively to some baby care items. Dr. Mark Randle commented that these skin sensitizers are listed in EU Cosmetics Directive as being potential irritants and yet despite this all the well known brands of skin care goods continue to use these ingredients. What Dr. Mark Randle wanted was to team up with DermaSalve and create a range of creams whose composition would be as ‘pure’ as possible. They have launched a Baby and Infant Cream that provides a guarantee to Mothers where the skin care of their little ones is concerned.

The main ingredient in the new formula based on traditional ancient knowledge is the oil extracted from Echium plants. The latter is a herb-cum-shrub that is much in demand by the cosmetic industry recently.

Mothers must develop the habit of checking on the labels of cosmetics picked up the shelves. Many – as many as 450 items, contain stuff that are banned in Europe. It has long term effects. Public awareness is necessary to put a cap on these poisonous products. Some cause cancer. For instance Tetrasodium is safe in small doses in cosmetics but large amounts in detergents can be dangerous. The lesser number of ingredients the more safe is a product – this can be a guide line for market shoppers.
