Some soaps and cleansers contain harsh ingredients that wash away the epidermal lipids and moisturizing factors that form skin’s natural protective barrier. They can irritate skin and cause it to dry out even further.

With a unique combination of moisturizing ingredients – Urea and other Natural Moisturizers – it gently cleanses and exfoliates rough skin without disrupting the skin barrier. The skin is perceivably smoother and feels replenished.
It is clinically and dermatologically proven to clean gently while protecting the skin from further drying out - even with daily washing.
Suitable for diseased skin like atopic eczema and xerosis, psoriasis. Also for adjunctive care. Fragrance free.

Clinical Formula
Urea
Urea is a naturally occurring component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). It plays a vital role in maintaining skin hydration and barrier function.
Key benefits are:
- Intensive Moisture Retention: As a hygroscopic molecule, Urea attracts and binds water in the outermost skin layers, effectively relieving dryness, itching, and roughness.
- Enhanced Skin Exfoliation & Smoothing: With its keratolytic properties, Urea supports natural exfoliation of dead skin cells, helping to soften and smooth the skin’s surface.
- High Tolerability for Sensitive Skin: As an endogenous substance, Urea is well-tolerated by the skin, making it suitable for dry and sensitive skin types.
Because of these clinically proven effects, Urea is regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of dry skin.*

Panthenol
Panthenol, also known as dexpanthenol or proVitamin B5, is a derivative of Vitamin B5. It is very effective at soothing reddened skin, as it helps restore the skin’s natural barrier and support its regeneration process. It also helps attract water and keep it in the skin, making it a very effective moisturiser.
