Is your skin dry and rough, tight, itchy, with red patches and sometimes even eczema flare-ups followed by scabs? You are probably one of the 4 million French people who have atopic-prone skin.
Although generally minimized, atopic dermatitis is now the second most common skin condition after acne and can also have a real impact on quality of life: daily itching and disturbed sleep affect morale and self-confidence, and more than 40% of those affected show signs of anxiety and/or depression*.
Fortunately, solutions exist to soothe and strengthen atopic-prone skin, such as the Pastel Seed Lipid-Replenishing Body Balm with protective pastel oil.
What is atopic-prone skin?
Dry, atopic-prone skin is characterized by a deficiency in its skin barrier, particularly the hydrolipidic film, whose function is to limit water evaporation and prevent allergens from penetrating. This increased permeability leads to dryness and extreme sensitivity to external aggressors, resulting primarily in irritation that causes itching and, in more severe cases, inflammation leading to rough lesions that can progress to sores followed by scabs. This condition is known as atopic dermatitis.
But long before reaching that point, atopic-prone skin is, in any case, skin in distress that requires special hygiene and appropriate care. It is therefore recommended to favor soap-free and sulfate-free cleansers and to use a lipid-replenishing cream daily to soothe and calm inflammation. And, more than anything else, it is essential to avoid allergens, and therefore to limit the perfumes and dyes very often found in hygiene products and other cosmetics.
Pastel oil to the rescue of atopic-prone skin
Thanks to its exceptional combination of omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, woad oil, contained in the Pastel Seed Lipid-Replenishing Balm, is ideal for strengthening the skin barrier, limiting water loss, and soothing very dry skin. Indeed, while omega-3 fatty acids strengthen the cell membrane, omega-6 fatty acids restore the skin barrier and slow down the loss of water and nutrients, and omega-9 fatty acids repair and nourish even the driest skin. The highly moisturizing efficacy of woad oil has also been proven (1): in just 2 hours, it provides 59% more protection to the skin barrier function, and a further 28% increase 8 hours after application.
Derived directly from the seeds of woad, a medicinal plant with numerous dermatological properties whose cosmetic benefits have only been revealed by Graine de Pastel research, woad oil is an essential natural solution for immediately soothing very dry, atopic-prone skin. Furthermore, by depositing a protective film on the skin, it helps prevent the recurrence of symptoms thanks to improved long-term protection.
Finally, an organic lipid-replenishing balm that is ultra-effective and 100% approved by users!
The only product on the market incorporating protective pastel oil, the Pastel Seed Lipid-Replenishing Body Balm offers a high-tolerance natural formula without perfume or colorant: free of allergens and superfluous chemical ingredients, it is thus perfectly suited to fragile skin.
In addition to woad oil, the Lipid-Replenishing Body Balm incorporates thermal water sourced just a few kilometers from the woad fields, significantly increasing its soothing effect (+28%(2)), as well as a combination of plant-based active ingredients with softening and repairing properties. Composed of 99% natural ingredients and certified organic, it is also suitable for children from 3 years old, pregnant women, and vegans.
Its rich, dense texture absorbs quickly into the skin to reduce inflammation and provide immediate relief from itching. Pastel Seed Lipid-Replenishing Balm can be used daily after showering, or at any time of day when needed.
And its effectiveness is undeniable: the Lipid-Replenishing Body Balm was approved by 100% of users in a clinical and dermatological tolerance assessment on dry, atopic-prone skin:
All three users observed that:
- The skin is soothed immediately upon application.
- The skin is repaired
