Protect and relieve damage that often results from frequent hand washing such as dry skin, cracked skin and inflamed, reddened skin with the Medline Remedy with Olivamine Skin Barrier Cream. This nourishing formula is a silicone blend that is silky in texture, water-resistant and breathable.
The cream is enriched with elaiosomes which are naturally encapsulated safflower oils that burst open to provide lasting moisturization. It is gentle enough to use around wounds and perineal care and suitable for neonates, diabetics, and geriatrics.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants that can be applied topically to the skin. It has been shown to reduce inflammation, brighten the complexion, increase collagen synthesis, prevent sun damage and decrease pigmentation.
However, it is important to note that not all products containing this ingredient are created equal. Some may cause a tingling or burning sensation, especially if the concentration of vitamin C is high or if you are sensitive to acidic ingredients.
To combat these issues, Medline offers a variety of products that contain the nourishing ingredient. From skin moisturizers and lotions to cleansing foams and antifungal powders. These include the ReadyFlush Protect wipes that help block e-TEWL and the Remedy Skin Repair Cream that is specifically formulated for patients at risk for skin breakdown. It contains Olivamine which has been shown to be a strong hydrator and also delivers essential amino acids and antioxidants. The formula also includes dimethicone which provides a breathable barrier on the skin.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an important fat-soluble antioxidant that acts as a free radical scavenger. It has been shown to protect skin from the deleterious effects of UV radiation. It is also believed to protect against certain diseases associated with aging. It also helps form red blood cells and widens the blood vessels in the skin. It is important for blood flow and for reducing the risk of clots.
Vitamins are incredibly important for healthy skin. They help keep the skin looking smooth, supple and radiant. Vitamins are best absorbed from nutrient-rich foods, but they can also be found in many topical products.
Medline Remedy Phytoplex is a line of skin care products designed to gently moisturize and nourish compromised skin. Its nourishing skin cream contains a blend of natural emollients that include safflower oleosomes and carrageenan to nourish the skin while resisting water loss. It is non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing and non-allergenic. Hydraguard silicone is gentle on the skin and creates a breathable barrier that prevents excessive transepidermal water loss while allowing the skin to breathe.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera contains a number of properties that can improve skin health, including the ability to retain moisture. It also contains compounds that reduce pain and inflammation and encourage skin growth and repair.
In one study, burn sites treated with aloe vera healed more quickly than those treated with silver sulfadiazine. The treatment also reduced the amount of edema, necrotic tissue and exudate.
Remedy includes a unique blend of natural oils and emollients to nourish damaged skin. These ingredients include jojoba oil, which helps moisturize and soften the skin; cetyl dimethicone, which binds to the skin to help keep Olivamine on the skin; and Borago officinalis seed oil, which provides a single source of eight beneficial fatty acids, including gamma-linolenic acid.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is rich in phenolic compounds (including hydroxyl tyrosols and secoiridoids) that act as antioxidants, which help to protect cells and promote wound healing. It also contains a high level of unsaturated fatty acids, which help the skin maintain its moisture balance and protective barrier.
Oil cleansing is a great way to remove makeup and dirt from your face without stripping the skin of its natural oils. It can be used to remove eye makeup as well, simply place a washcloth soaked with olive oil over your eyes for 20 seconds before wiping it away.
Remedy Phytoplex created a line of products that include cleansers, moisturizers and skin protectant barriers that are safe to use on all types of skin. Their skin protectants contain silicones strong enough to prevent excessive trans-epidermal water loss but not occlusive like petroleum-based products, which impede the skin’s natural breathability. Their cleansers are formulated to be gentle on even the most fragile skin.
