Topical

Eczema is a group of inflammatory skin disorders characterised by itchiness, dryness, scaling, sensitivity, cracking, and inflammation. Our dermatological solutions are designed to address these symptoms in a range of convenient formulations.

Psoriasis typically presents as raised red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales that can be itchy and sore. Topical psoriasis formulations are intended for long term patient use and are tailored to the different areas of the body on which psoriasis can occur, eg shampoos for scalp psoriasis and emollient sticks for convenient spot application during the day. Star Ingredient: Crodamol ISIS™ (Isostearyl Isostearate)

• Substantive, non-occlusive emollient.
• Works with the lipids in the skin to achieve optimum hydration and moisturisation, outperforming artificial occlusion with petrolatum.

Formulating acne products requires light, non-occlusive ingredients to soothe inflamed skin, optimise the performance of anti-acne actives and encourage repeat use of the product.

• Excellent solubiliser.
• Improves formulation and API stability.
• Enhances spreading properties.

Baby skin has a delicate and fragile structure which easily becomes dry or irritated due to urine contact, laundry detergent residues and central heating and air conditioning. Formulating for baby skin requires mild, effective moisturising ingredients and a dosage form that is quick and easy to apply or use in the bath.
Star Ingredient: Arlamol™ PS11E (Polyoxypropylene Stearyl Ether PhEur)

• Excellent polar solvent for a wide range of actives.
• Non-occlusive emollient offering a velvety skin feel.
• Enables compatibility of polar and non-polar oils, making it possible to couple two actives into one product.
