A Natural Cleanser DermaVeen does not contain any artificial soap. Its natural cleansing action comes from oatmeal. Oatmeal contains natural cleansers called saponins, which dissolve dirt, oil and grime ridding the skin of debris and leaving it feeling clean and soft. A Natural Moisturiser Oatmeal very strongly binds water and it is this capacity which makes it an ideal natural moisturiser. When mixed with water, oatmeal forms a film which adheres to skin, thus holding water, and hence moisture, in prolonged contact with skin. This natural moisturising improves dry skin and leaves it feeling clean, soft and supple. An Active Anti-pruritic (anti-itch) Compound There is a possibility that this action is due to colloidal oatmeal’s direct anti-inflammatory activity. However, leaving this anti-inflammatory affect aside, Oatmeal’s direct moisturising activity has an active anti-pruritic effect. Dermaveen Soap Free Cleanser with colloidal oatmeal has direct moisturising activity The moisturising properties of colloidal oatmeal relieve itch due to dry skin. Moisturising and reduction in itch help protect the skin’s barrier function. Proteins and polysaccharides in colloidal oatmeal bind to skin to enhance the skin’s protective barrier. Proteins in colloidal oatmeal buffer help maintain a balanced pH, helping maintain the skin’s important barrier function. All of these activities contribute to DermaVeen’s active antipruritic, anti-itch effects. Colloidal Oatmeal Protects Skin’s pH and “Acid Mantle” Healthy skin has a slightly acidic pH of around 5-6. Oatmeal is a buffer which helps to maintain the skin’s so called “acid mantle”, the protective layer comprised of skin’s natural oils. The proteins contained in oatmeal act to buffer both acids and bases and effectively maintain the acid mantle which has a protective effect from viruses and bacteria.
