BB - Protective skin cream - 30 ml Kvítok

Product detailed description

The skin is our first line of defense, and its main function is to create protection against external influences. In addition to the lipid protective film, its surface also contains a natural effective protective barrier formed by a layer of microorganisms. If the microbiological and lipid film is disrupted and the skin is damaged, it requires gentle care that will help restore protection and regenerate damage faster.

This skin cream provides double skin protection (support of the lipid and microbiological film) and is suitable for situations where it is necessary to support the basic functions of the skin and protect it from further damage.

It is free of perfume, allergens and supports rapid restoration of the protective barrier thanks to the synergistic action of multiple active ingredients.

Usage:

Apply a small amount of cream to cleansed and toned skin of the face and massage in gently. The texture of the cream is delicate, very light and you only need a very small amount when applying. The light consistency of the cream is quickly absorbed, does not stick and does not leave a greasy film.

To maintain quality, store in a dry, cool and dark place. Do not use around the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes and injured skin. If it gets into the eyes, rinse with water. Intended for outdoor use.

It's time to restore the natural protective barrier of our skin to its original state.

Barrier Booster by Kvitok® presents a special category of products focused on solving skin problems related to the skin barrier.

Its composition is adapted for even the most sensitive skin, for all age categories from the youngest and, thanks to different formulations in terms of consistency or content of vegetable butters and oils, for use in every season.

The products restore pH balance and help strengthen the skin barrier.

Various situations take a toll on our skin: adverse weather (dry air, sunlight, cold, wind...), aggressive care (frequent peelings, rough rubbing with a towel, soaps, surfactant cleaners, high alcohol content or other aggressive ingredients of cosmetic products), or even cosmetic skin disorders such as psoriasis, rosacea or eczema.

The cream is suitable for the care of damaged skin (eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, sores, bedsores, inflammations...), for protection and damage from adverse external influences (damage from frost, sunlight), or if you overdo it with aggressive skin care, when it is necessary to simplify the entire care as much as possible (cosmetic interventions, pre-exfoliation, rough rubbing with a towel, soaps or other aggressive surfactant cleaning products).

The light consistency of the cream is quickly absorbed, does not stick and does not leave a greasy film.

The key active ingredients of this cream are prebiotic-postbiotic complexes, which serve to support a healthy natural skin microbiome.

The skin microbiome is made up of a layer of bacteria (containing more than 1000 different species) that provide natural protection. Such bacteria are found not only on the surface of our skin, but also form the basis of immunity in the digestive tract, for example. We can preserve, support and restore the microbiome in various ways:

• we can eliminate unfavourable bacteria with anti-inflammatory ingredients
• we can feed the so-called "good" bacteria with prebiotics and support their growth, i.e. support balance
• by using probiotics, we can add "good" bacteria directly
• postbiotics in turn add products of "good" bacteria

A very important component is therefore the prebiotic complex Biolin P, which demonstrably supports the creation of a microbiological film on our skin and prevents the development of further infections. This natural prebiotic is made up of inulin extracted from chicory root and glucosaccharides obtained by enzymatic synthesis of natural sugars. It supports the growth of protective microorganisms, which help restore the microbiome layer by layer, while pathogenic bacteria are eliminated, i.e. their ratio is naturally balanced, which helps prevent inflammatory reactions.

Its function is complemented by Aurafirm S - fermented oat extract, which acts as a postbiotic and prebiotic at the same time. The prebiotic components are polyphenols and ectoine, the postbiotic components include AHA acids (especially lactic acid), amino acids (mainly glutamic acid and proline) and bioactive peptides. The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of these active substances in the oat extract, so they are more usable for the skin. in oat flour or colloidal oat extract, even in low concentrations.

Clinical studies show that regular use of a product containing this complex supports the maintenance of skin barrier homeostasis, induces antioxidant reactions and has a positive effect on skin hydration.

Studies have shown that Aurafirm S causes an increase in the growth of all bacteria found on the skin, which is especially beneficial for skin whose microbiome is seriously disrupted, for example after washing with aggressive soap or after shaving. The studies used Savon de Marseille (Marseille soap), whose higher pH negatively affected the slightly acidic pH of the skin, and therefore the microbiome - due to long-term use, there were changes in the diversity of the microbiome.

Other studies show increased skin hydration with regular use for 28 days.

Vegetable protein complex, so-called vegetable keratin complex is a mixture of corn, wheat and soy protein. It is a plant-based vegan substitute for classic keratin commonly used in body and hair cosmetics. Hydrolyzed proteins have smaller molecules that penetrate the skin better. In our body, they are among the key components, often referred to as NMF (natural moisturizing factor). These compounds are responsible for maintaining skin moisture and elasticity by attracting and retaining water.

Thanks to the triple combination of plant proteins, this complex improves skin hydration, strengthens its structure, protects against drying out (transepidermal moisture loss). It provides protection against adverse external influences, helps skin regeneration, improves its firmness and elasticity.

Oat protein in hydrolyzed form consists mainly of proteins (avenin and globulins) and oligosaccharides. Oats have been used for centuries to soothe irritated skin, especially thanks to them. In addition, it is rich in vitamins, minerals, sugars and other natural ingredients, thanks to which it has moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Oat protein strengthens the outer barrier of the skin, helps restore its function, maintain moisture and reduce itching. Its anti-inflammatory properties effectively relieve the unpleasant symptoms of eczema, especially atopic eczema. The hydrolyzed form is specially adapted for use in cosmetics, because oat powder itself is insoluble in water and has large molecules, so its full potential cannot be used in cosmetic products. At the same time, the hydrolyzed form is classified as gluten-free in the case of foods where a limit is set for gluten. Cosmetic products do not have a set limit.

Plant Ceramide Complex helps restore the lipid barrier by replenishing lipids into the skin structure. Ceramides are among the most important elements of the lipid barrier. They are lamellar arranged to act as a membrane and fill the intercellular space in the skin layers. In dry and cracked skin, this part of the lipid barrier is largely damaged and the skin suffers from excessive loss of hydration. Ceramide Complex contains a lamellar structure unlike other ceramide products, and this is what makes it unique and very useful in repairing the lipid barrier. They restore moisture, strengthen the skin's natural barrier and help protect it from damage. Skin sensitivity is also reduced and protection from external influences is improved. They are also important for hydrating and firming the skin, eliminating wrinkle formation and skin deformations, preventing skin thinning and weakening.

This function is also supported by shea butter and squalane, which together with fine almond oil form the oil part of the product.

Shea butter perfectly regenerates and rejuvenates the skin and is especially suitable for sensitive and dry skin. It softens rough skin on the feet and elbows, helps prevent stretch marks (also suitable during pregnancy), and evens out the skin tone. It also contributes to the reduction of wrinkles and dark spots on the skin. In winter, it is an excellent helper to maintain hydration of the lips, skin of the hands and face.

Olive squalane helps to restore the skin's protective film, protects it from loss of hydration, is easily absorbed and is very stable to oxidation. It helps stimulate skin cell renewal, is hypoallergenic and ideal for people with sensitive skin, as well as skin prone to allergies. It is very compatible with the skin's natural protective film and, thanks to its strong antioxidant properties, protects the skin and minimizes the formation of wrinkles. Unlike olive oil, comedic squalane is at a minimal level, does not clog pores, therefore it is also suitable for problematic skin. It is easily absorbed and leaves a velvety feeling on the skin.

Almond oil is suitable for all skin types, its composition is closest to the human skin film and few people are allergic to this oil, which is why it is also suitable for delicate children's skin. It has soothing effects, slows down skin aging, soothes inflammation, burns, lightens dark spots on the skin, relieves itching and is especially excellent for sensitive and dry skin.

GMO-free sunflower lecithin has emollient properties, softens the skin, prevents its dehydration and thanks to it, our creams have a silky texture. The lipids that make up lecithin are very similar to the lipids found in the protective film that our skin naturally produces, which is why it is suitable even for very sensitive skin.

Vegetable glycerin prevents the skin from drying out and helps maintain its hydration.

Levulic and Anisic Acid are plant acids obtained from sugar cane and anise, which have strong antimicrobial and antifungal effects.

Vitamin E supports skin healing, improves skin elasticity and, thanks to its antioxidant effect, protects the skin from the negative effects of free radicals from the external environment.

The basis of this cream is chamomile flower water, which has anti-inflammatory effects and soothes irritated skin. We chose it as a base instead of ordinary water, which is a cheap ingredient, but does not provide the skin with as much quality nutrition as these so-called hydrolates, which are active substances in themselves. These are pure distillates that contain bioactive plant substances soluble in water and do not contain allergenic ingredients.

Basic composition of skin creams:

An essential step in skin care is its hydration. During the day, the skin requires a lighter texture of creams, which is why we have maximally revised and fine-tuned the concept of new skin creams to ensure high-quality skin nutrition without burdening it.

Our skin deserves the best, which is why these skin creams are packed with high-quality ingredients that have a beneficial effect on our skin, but at the same time we have managed to create a formula that is a so-called self-preserving ingredient system. This means that the individual ingredients of the cream are carefully combined to maintain the products at the highest quality without the need to add synthetic preservatives by creating conditions that are not suitable for the growth of microorganisms. These creams are proof that “pure nature” cosmetics do not even require the use of classic preservatives. Each ingredient used is a highly functional ingredient with a positive effect on the skin.

The creams have a light texture due to the water content, but we used organic floral and herbal waters instead of ordinary water, which is a cheap ingredient but does not provide the skin with as much quality nutrition as these so-called hydrolates. We chose them for the cream because of their excellent toning effects and their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

Other important ingredients that are selected in individual creams according to the given skin type are cold-pressed oils. For an even better effect, we have supplemented the creams with nourishing plant extracts and essential oils in organic quality or vitamin E, known for its antioxidant properties.

The skin creams also contain plant acids: Levulic and Aniseed, which have significant antioxidant, antimicrobial and toning properties.

Xanthan gum helps increase skin hydration and at the same time reduce dehydration by creating a thin film on the surface of the skin. Improves skin firmness and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Although we do our best to ensure that all product information is up-to-date and correct, ingredients and dietary information may change due to regulatory updates. Therefore, please always read the product label and do not rely solely on the information provided on our website. Warning: From a legislative point of view, cosmetic products are not categorized as medicines, therefore they are not used to treat skin diseases that arise as a result of internal problems in the body (regardless of brand, price or purchase in a pharmacy). They are used to alleviate symptoms and treat damaged skin. To solve the problem, you need to approach it comprehensively - from the outside and from the inside.
