Clinical Studies to Reduce Contact Dermatitis

In placebo controlled double-blind studies, Skin Biology's BioHeal was tested on skin irritated by detergents, allergies and acetone. The skin’s recovery was remarkable. BioHeal greatly accelerated skin repair and helped rebuild a healthy skin barrier - the first step to preventing contact dermatitis.

Testimonials from Clients

In researching contact dermatitis around the eyes, this was the ONLY site on the web describing the condition. I ordered some CP Serum (already had Squalane) and Emu Oil S. I have a cabinet full of oils, essential & carrier I purchased to get rid of this condition. Only the CP Serum & Emu Oil S or Squalane helped heal it. I wasn't even able to wear makeup...I can now use Super CP and all my makeup. My eyes are looking great.

I've suffered from facial dermatitis and have used Aclovate, a corticosteroid, off and on for 17 years (about 65 - 70% of the time). When my new dermatologist discovered this, she gasped and said I needed to stop using this immediately, as it was a steroid and was absorbed systemically. (I had no clue I was using a steroid). She said it wasn't designed to be used for more than two weeks, and yet doctors prescribe this commonly. I've now been diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome, a common disease afflicting long-term users of corticosteroids.

I wish I'd have known earlier about the results I could obtain with your Squalane! (which I discovered purely by accident while applying for moisturizing, I ordered from your site along with other products simply from curiosity). My dermatologist prescribed Noritrate 1% topical as a replacement for Aclovate, but warned me it would take a long time to see improvement. In desperation to cover the scaly flakiness on my face, I used tea tree oil (my dermatologist said dermatitis is actually a fungal infection, and so I thought why not?"), and applied Squalane next to test its moisturizing effectiveness. I was amazed to see enough improvement on the first squalane application to apply makeup relatively smoothly, and within three days, I saw a 97% improvement in my dermatitis, it was almost completely gone! Once I had control of the condition, I did a light at-home alpha hydroxy peel and finished it with more Squalane. The results were even better!

After a week of this routine, I decided to take a break for a few days to see if it returned (as happens with corticosteroids). My dermatitis didn't increase much, and I'm back on the routine. I have just the tiniest trace of facial dermatitis remaining in less than two week's of application of tea tree oil and squalane. It was most definitely the Squalane that helped the most, and it makes my skin feel amazing. I hesitated to use it because I have oily skin, but it's done nothing but improve the texture.

Stopping topical corticosteroids can cause adrenal failure and possibly death, so one should taper off under the advisement of a physician. But I highly recommend replacing at least one of the daily corticosteroid applications with Squalane. It's more effective and carries none of the insidious medical risks of steroids."

Contact Dermatitis is an allergic reaction to irritants like poison ivy, metals and harsh soaps, can inflame the skin with an itchy rash.

Avoid Skin Irritants and Allergens that Cause Eczema and Dermatitis

About sixty percent of people have some degree of dermatitis suffer outbreaks throughout life. The key to avoiding dermatitis is maintaining a healthy skin barrier and avoiding those irritants that are specific to your situation. Allergies can be highly specific to a allergy sensitive person. Allergic sensitivity is mediated by a protein called immunoglobulin E. In a non-allergic person, the blood levels of immunoglobulin E range from 0 to 5 nanograms/milliliter; however, in a allergy sensitive person these levels may rise to 2,000 nanograms per milliliter which increases the person's sensitivity to allergens. Thus, if you are extremely sensitive to irritants and allergens, avoidance of any offending allergen becomes very critical. Your dermatologist has a variety of skin tests that can help you identify items to avoid.

Irritant Dermatitis

Irritant Contact Dermatitis breaks down the skin barrier but does not involve the immune system. Burning, stinging, itching and redness may be signs that a product is irritating the skin. Often the offending product literally dissolves the skin. Bath soaps, detergents, antiperspirants, eye cosmetics, moisturizers, permanent hair waving solutions and shampoos are the most common skin irritants. Even water can irritate very dry skin.

As with allergies, avoidance of irritating products is the best course. For the past 30 years, the types of irritants that damage skin have been well established. However, most cosmetic companies continue to produce cosmetics with known irritants because items such as detergents create cheap, very stable creams and lotions that look very good when placed on the skin. The cost of materials in a typical cosmetic product averages about $0.02 per ounce.

Other Causes of Dermatitis

Many cosmetic procedures, such as shaving or waxing, increase contact dermatitis by making skin ultra sensitive and prone to invasion by bacteria and viruses. This type of hair removal often causes warts on a woman’s legs and on the beard area of a man’s face. BioHeal can rapidly heal these skin irritations to better protect against infection. When it comes to rapidly healing skin, BioHeal is your best friend and a foe to viruses and bacteria.

If you have very sensitive skin, always start with our mildest copper peptide: Super GHK-Copper Cream.

BioHeal can be used once or twice daily during outbreaks.

Use Emu Oil S Lipid Replenisher on top to facilitate penetration.

Typical results take approximately 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
