The skin barrier function protects from excessive trans-epidermal water loss but also prevents the trans-epidermal penetration of foreign particles such as allergens. Upon barrier abrogation, allergens can penetrate the metabolically active layers of the stratum corneum and either trigger or exacerbate irritation/inflammatory reactions.

Olivem^®1000 Crystal Skin™ has been shown to increase the integrity of the skin barrier function and may thus help to prevent trans-epidermal penetration of allergens.

Clinical studies have shown the capacity of Olivem^®1000 Crystal Skin™ to reverse the cytotoxic effect and to bring back up the vitality value until 40,9%. Moreover, it is able to inhibit the cellular production of Interleukin-1 Alfa, responsible for the inflammatory status.
