Is your skin dry and rough, does it feel tight and itchy, leaving red patches and sometimes even eczema flare-ups followed by scabs? You are certainly one of the 4 million French people with atopic-prone skin.
Often minimized, atopic dermatitis is nevertheless 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 mood 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 Graine de Pastel Relipidating 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. As a result, the skin becomes permeable, dries out and becomes extremely sensitive to external aggressors, with irritation causing itching as the first consequence and, in more serious cases, inflammation leading to lesions ranging from roughness to sores followed by scabs. This is known as atopic dermatitis.
But well before reaching that point, atopic-prone skin is, in any case, skin in distress that requires special hygiene and suitable care. It is therefore recommended to choose soap-free and sulfate-free cleansers and to use a relipidating cream daily to soften the skin and calm inflammation. And, above all, it is essential to eliminate allergens and therefore limit fragrances and colorants, which are 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, pastel oil, contained in the Graine de Pastel Relipidating Balm, is ideal for strengthening the skin barrier, limiting water loss and relieving very dry skin. Indeed, while omega-3s strengthen the cell membrane, omega-6s restore the skin barrier and slow its loss of water and nutrients, and omega-9s repair and nourish the driest skin. The highly moisturizing effectiveness of pastel oil has also been proven (1): in just 2 hours, it provides +59% protection of the barrier function and still +28% 8 hours after application.
Derived directly from pastel seeds, a medicinal plant with numerous dermatological properties whose cosmetic benefits have been revealed only through Graine de Pastel research, pastel oil is an essential natural solution for immediately soothing very dry, atopic-prone skin. In addition, by forming a protective film on the skin, it helps prevent symptoms from reappearing through better long-term protection.
At last, an ultra-effective organic relipidating balm 100% approved by users!
The only product on the market incorporating protective pastel oil, the Relipidating Balm Graine de Pastel offers a high-tolerance natural formula without fragrance or colorants: free from allergens and unnecessary chemical ingredients, it is perfectly suited to weakened skin.
In addition to pastel oil, the Relipidating Balm contains thermal water drawn just a few kilometers from the pastel fields, for a significant increase in the 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.
