The importance of choosing natural body care
Eating healthily, drinking filtered water regularly, exercising, and taking care of our mental health are all examples of daily actions we take to take care of our bodies. However, why do we let our bodies absorb many chemicals by applying skin products every day? Indeed, everything that is applied to the skin is ingested by it and could, in the long term, be harmful. It is therefore preferable to opt for products containing as few ingredients as possible and having natural ingredients.
The idea behind our two new body products was to offer softness for the skin and comfort for reactive and sensitive skin, for the whole family. Here you will discover why you should opt for body cera-cleanser as well as dermoprotective body cream in your daily care routine.
The cera-body cleanser
Cera-Body Cleanser is an ideal cleansing bar for skin soft like velvet and silk. Composed of mild active ingredients, oils, butter and wax, no saponification reaction is produced unlike soap. With this in mind, our cleansing bar is adapted to the pH of the skin, allowing it to be cleansed without disturbing its skin flora. Dirt is removed while preventing the skin from drying out, leaving it silky and supple. The bar is ideal for all skin types, but will especially win the hearts of skin suffering from extreme dryness or conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. Our product is dermatologically tested and is preservative-free, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, is 99% natural and will bring you comfort like a cloud. The cera-body cleanser is therefore ideal for the whole family, from children to parents.
¹ Saponification is, in the general context, a chemical reaction transforming an ester into carboxylate ions and an alcohol. It is in fact the hydrolysis of an ester in a basic medium. This reaction allows the synthesis of soap. Retrieved from https://www.futura-sciences.com/qui-sommes-nous/.
The importance of the environment at Omy Laboratoires
At Omy Laboratoires, we have the environment at the heart of our values. We are making efforts to do our part and limit the impact on the environment. In this vein, the cera-cleanser is biodegradable and without plastic packaging, which reduces its ecological footprint. As for the dermoprotective cream, the bottle is plastic-free, it is made of corn starch, which is biodegradable and compostable.
Dermoprotective body cream
Did you know that when a cream is applied to the skin, these chemical molecules pass the skin barrier and go directly into the blood? Inevitably, these molecules can, among other things, be carcinogenic molecules or endocrine disruptors. It is the cumulative effect of all the chemical molecules produced that must be understood. This is why it is important to consider natural products.
The dermoprotective body cream, tested under dermatological control, intensely hydrates the skin and protects it against external aggressions and imperceptible water loss. Dry skin can cause discomfort, tightness, tingling and itching. Applying a rich, moisturizing cream is therefore a daily necessity in order to preserve hydration and prevent dryness. Our formula is silicone-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic and non-irritating. Omy body cream is ideal since it is made up of 95% ingredients of natural origin and contains a natural preservative. Just like cera-cleanser, it is suitable for the whole family.
The versatility of our products makes them ideal, even for little ones. The skin of babies and young children is drier, more reactive and more sensitive to external aggressions. That said, their skin is thinner and therefore more permeable to cosmetic ingredients, including those presenting a health risk. Their metabolism system is immature. This means that toxic substances will be eliminated more slowly and less efficiently. It is therefore necessary to avoid substances identified as " endocrine disruptors " (certain preservatives, perfumes or anti-UV filters of synthetic origin) as well as alcohol. Also, to avoid allergies which affect babies and children, it is better to avoid allergenic ingredients so as not to sensitize their skin (perfume, essential oils and these ingredients: Methylisothiazolinone, Methylchloroisothiazolinone or Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate). We advise you to use two to three products maximum in order to avoid the risk of irritation and sensitization. When purchasing your products, favor those with shorter ingredient lists (minimalist formulas) and focus on the quality of the ingredients (safety) and the composition of the product rather than on a color or odor of the product which are often at greater risk for the baby or child. However, the cera-body cleanser as well as the dermoprotective body cream are perfectly suitable for toddlers and older children alike.
Preferably used as a duo, the body cera-cleanser and the dermoprotective body cream will give you hydrated and radiant skin. Using natural products prevents you from applying chemical ingredients to your skin which could be harmful to your health.
