The transport of water and solutes in a highly organised structure such as the skin plays an essential role in maintaining its homeostasis and a healthy appearance. Skin moisturisation involves the entire skin structure through active and passive mechanisms.
The horny layer acts as a defensive barrier, limiting an excessive evaporation of water (TEWL), while the presence of specific channels and the natural moisturising factor (NMF) retains the water and transports it through the multilayered skin structure.
Hydroveg® is a synergetic blend of moisturising humectants and swelling ingredients specifically aimed to correct skin dryness, particularly recommended whenever an intense and immediate restoring action is needed.1,2 It was developed by taking into account the normal constituents of a healthy skin, in order to propose a cosmetic raw material that has characteristics very similar to the NMF. Corneometric tests and innovative in vitro studies conducted on biological models of reconstructed skin prove the effectiveness of Hydroveg in restoring stressed skin3–9 to the condition of physiological balance with a mechanism that is active at the molecular level.
