Merck KGaA has launched RonaCare Epintegrity, which, it says “acts like an assistant to the skin by supporting its naturally occurring moisturising factor and providing essential ‘skin food’”. This was inspired by and contains components of the skin’s own Natural Moisturising Factor, together with natural amino acids.
“Its important role is to provide calcium to skin cells in the correct, cell-friendly form – and at just the right places to induce the formation of crucial proteins,” the company said. These include occludin, a key element in building and maintaining skin integrity.
RonaCare Epintegrity also supports skin barrier homeostasis are reinforces the skin defences. The company cites in vitro studies showing that it increases availability of calcium to skin cells, increases desmosomal proteins and supports junction protein formation
