Severe itchiness can result in the urge to scratch, risking damaging your skin even more. The Bepanthen Sensicalm white cream is made without cortisone. It provides a relief from itchiness while regenerating the skin, allowing the skin to repair itself by reducing the urge to scratch. Bepanthen Sensicalm is used to sooth itchiness and skin redness in the following cases: * Dry skin * Atopic dermatitis * Eczema * Allergic reactions Bepanthen Sensicalm strengthens the skin barrier thanks to lamellar lipid technology (see following paragraph). With this technology the lipid coatings, which act as a natural protection against itchiness, are strengthened; this provides relief from itchiness and redness all helping to repair the skin. How does itchiness and can we treat it? Redness, swelling and itchiness of the skin can occur from many factors such as dry skin, atopic dermatitis / eczema, skin reactions and other skin irritations. Under these conditions the lipids of the stratum corneum (otherwise known as the skin barrier) are damaged which can cause itchiness. These lipids, mainly ceramides, act as a natural protection against irritations. As soon as this natural protection is damaged the skin dehydrates itself and this leads to dry skin and itchiness. However, a damaged skin barrier is less effective in its role as a protection barrier against irritants, which intensifies the itchiness. That is why in the case of dry skin, atopic dermatitis/eczema, skin reactions and other skin irritations, the treatment is based on a specific cream to restore the skin barrier, and reduce itchiness. How does the Bepanthen Sensicalm cream repair our skin barrier? The skin barrier is the most superficial layer of the skin. It is an organised structure made up of several lipid layers: the lamellar lipids are organised in overlapping layers. The main lipids in the layers are ceramides. Between the layers natural hydrating agents retain the water within the skin barrier, maintaining its level of hydration. Bepanthen Sensicalm cream contains lamellar lipid technology allowing soothing of irritations and itchiness. This complex containing lipids is the lamellar structure which is similar to the lipid structure of the skin (for example: ceramides). These lamellar lipids can bind with the skin barrier lipids and fit in with the damaged layer in order to repair it. It is important to keep the skin barrier intact, once damaged, itchiness can occur. Long-term hydration helps to restore the skin whilst also allowing to calm the itchiness and irritations. Bepanthen Sensicalm also contains natural moisturisers such as glycerin which retain water within the skin barrier mimicking the water retention process of healthy skin. This hydration is also helped by the Panthenol which hydrates the skin barrier providing optimal conditions for restoring the skin naturally. Contrary to classic creams, Bepanthen Sensicalm does not contain any emulsifiers known to damage the lipid structure of the skin. The Bepanthen Sensicalm is fragrance and preservative free which are generally known for their irritating effects. Bepanthen Sensicalm relives itching whilst imitating skin in ways: * by putting the lamellar lipids (e.g. Ceramides) into the stratum corneum thanks to the lamellar lipid technology when entering the skin. * by putting in natural hydrating agents to improve hydration * by putting in other physiological lipids This allows skin repair by soothing the itching.
