Since the beginning of the pandemic, people have started to wash their hands and use hand sanitiser more often, which may result in dry, red, and flaky skin. Taking this into account, Dr. Sante has launched a collection of hand products entitled SOS Concentrated. These concentrated products will take excellent care of your hands and mitigate the negative effects of frequent hand washing.
Dr. Sante’s SOS Concentrated collection consists of hand creams, balms and serums that actively nourish and moisturise the skin, protect it from dehydration and aggressive environmental factors, stimulate skin regeneration and renewal, and make the hands incredibly soft, smooth and supple. The manufacturer offers four main types of hand care products: Softness & Tenderness (hand balm), Max Protection & Regeneration (hand cream and serum), Non-Stop Moisturising (hand cream), and Ultra Nutrition (hand cream and serum).
Dr. Sante SOS Concentrated creams, balms and serums are formulated with moisturising, nourishing, softening and healing ingredients of natural origin with proven effectiveness: hyaluronic acid, urea, vitamins, panthenol, vegetable oils, glycerine, aloe vera leaf juice, etc. Let’s take a closer look at some of them.
Hyaluronic acid and its derivatives (for example, sodium hyaluronate) are widely used in the production of cosmetics due to their ability to draw moisture from the surrounding air and lock it in the skin, preventing dehydration. Besides, the molecules of hyaluronic acid contribute to the correct alignment of collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, promoting skin firmness and elasticity.
One of the key benefits of hyaluronic acid compared to other humectants is its hypoallergenicity. Since hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the human body and is found in many tissues, skincare products with hyaluronic acid are highly unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.
Urea (carbamide) is another potent humectant of natural origin. Creams with a high concentration of urea (40%) are used in dermatology as topical treatments for psoriasis, eczema, keratosis, ichthyosis, and other skin conditions. Urea is also used in lower concentrations in hand moisturisers designed to maintain the skin’s natural hydro-lipid balance and prevent dehydration.
Panthenol relieves inflammation, soothes the skin, and stimulates its regeneration. As an active ingredient in Dr. Sante SOS Concentrated hand creams, it helps to prevent redness and flaking, speeds up the healing of scratches, hangnails and other minor skin injuries, and enhances the moisturising effect of urea and hyaluronic acid.
B vitamins and vitamins C and E are powerful natural antioxidants. They help to neutralise the harmful effects of free radicals, which are one of the main factors contributing to premature skin ageing. In addition, vitamins have anti-inflammatory, rejuvenating, and revitalising properties.
Natural carrier oils (cottonseed oil, grapeseed oil, macadamia oil, maize oil, rose hip oil, shea butter, sunflower oil) are valuable sources of essential fatty acids, sometimes collectively referred to as vitamin F. They help to keep the skin hydrated, as well as make it softer and smoother.
Finally, beeswax is used in hand creams due to its protective and softening properties. It creates an invisible barrier on the skin surface, which helps to retain moisture and protects the skin from the negative effects of various environmental factors, such as low temperatures, sun, wind, etc.
All hand creams, balm and serums produced by Dr. Sante SOS Concentrated absorb almost instantly and don’t leave the skin feeling sticky or greasy. You can apply them as often as you need to keep the skin of your hands soft, smooth, and hydrated at all times.
