Prebiotic Intimate Hydrating Gel (75ml)

Key Ingredients

Chicory prebiotics (Inulin & Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide)

• Powerful bio-selective food supplements for most saprophytic (beneficial) microorganisms, while most Pathogenic (harmful) microorganisms cannot metabolise them
• Strengthens the protective microbiome of the sensitive genital skin
• Restores the skin barrierr
• Helps to control unpleasant odour
• Clinical studies show that chicory prebiotics reduce irritation, itchiness, redness and discomfort of the sensitive genital skin

Sodium Hyaluronate

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is present in many sites in the human body especially skin where it has a protective, structuring and shock-absorbing role
• It has the ability to bind water up to 1000 times its volume and provides firmness and radiance to the skin. It serves as a water reservoir and releases moisture gradually over time
• NCan be used topically to regenerate the skin and support hydration and elasticity
• Enhances the penetration of active ingredients through the stratum corneum (SC), which behaves as a barrier to the entry of the molecule into the deeper layers of the skin
• Topical preparations containing HA are used for their healing properties and decreasing skin irritation
• Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of HA and is commonly used in place of the acid due to its enhanced stability and solubility. Moreover, it has a smaller molecular size which enables it to effectively penetrate the skin and can be produced with a high purity rate

Panthenol (Provitamin B5)

• Powerful Humectant that binds water molecules and increases hydration levels of skin as well as smoothness and elasticity
• Human body readily absorbs Panthenol (Provitamin B5) through the skin and converts it to Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), a natural constituent of healthy living cells
• Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and helps soothe irritated skin
• Speeds up healing process of the skin by encouraging the growth of new epithelial cells which are the cells that make up the outer surface of the body

Allantoin

• Powerful Humectant that increases the water content of the extracellular matrix hence the hydration levels of the skin
• Due to anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant and soothing action helps to prevent damage to the skin cells
• Promotes new cell growth and skin rejuvenation
• Speeds up skin cell turnover by increasing and enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells hence increasing skin smoothness

Sodium PCA

• Naturally occurring humectant in our skin, forms about 12% of skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF)
• Can hold up to 250 times its weight in water hence helps to reduce skin dryness
• It is an electrolyte and acts as a redistribution system. Water follows the flow of electrolytes, so when it's infused in skincare, it allows water to be drawn into the skin where it is most needed
• Forms a film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin dryness
• Helps protect the acid mantle
• Penetrates deep into the epidermis reducing skin inflammation as well as reducing irritation

Propanediol

• A humectant with skin-friendly performance that offers soothing and enhanced moisturisation ideal for sensitive skin
• Absorbs and retains moisture in the air nearby, enhances water absorption in the outer layer of skin and increases skin hydration
• Attracts water from deeper layers of skin to the outer skin layers in dry environments
• Creates a film on the surface of skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) to minimise moisture loss

Lactic Acid and Sodium Lactate

• Part of our skin's natural moisturising factor (NMF) which attracts and retains water within skin to reduce dehydration
• Form a film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin dryness
• Lactic Acid is produced naturally in the female genital tract to inactivate potentially pathogenic (harmful) microorganisms and to support the growth of beneficial microorganisms in vaginal microbiome
• Sodium Lactate is an electrolyte that increases water absorption rate and a balanced distribution throughout the skin
• In combination, they adjust the pH of feminine genital area to the natural pH and maintain natural acidity of the intimate zone
