Skingel 50 ml

Skingel ^® is an ICF srl product, for topical use, which is characterised by a simple yet highly effective formulation thanks to the numerous properties of zinc oxide in combination with propylene glycol, glycerin and sage glycolic extract.

Zinc oxide (more effective than zinc sulphate because it provides zinc ions for a longer period of time) has a high anti-inflammatory power, antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, it is in fact also used in the healing processes for internal and external injuries (it increases the healing speed of wounds and burns). It also forms a protective layer (barrier effect) on the skin playing a fundamental role in healing injuries.

Propylene glycol is one of the components used as a vehicle for the administration of topical medications. It provides a moisturizing and hydrating action. It also acts against yeasts such as Malassezia pachydermatis . It is a humectant (acting on the surface tension, it promotes the penetration of water), counteracting the drying effect of atopic dermatitis due to the associated cutaneous hyperhidrosis.

Glycerin has a humectant and hydrating action that enhances the effect of propylene glycol.

Finally, the glycolic extract of sage has an astringent, analgesic and antiperspirant action.

The product differs from classic topical anti-itch and anti-inflammatory products due to the complete absence of both topical and systemic side effects.
