Natural pH

Different parts of the human body have different Natural pH. For example, overall pH of human Skin is slightly acidic around 5.6, pH of the eye area is usually neutral 7.00 and Natural pH of vagina is around 4.5.

Triple Action
 Hydration


Skin Federation’s products contain powerful humectants which hydrate the Skin through the following actions: Absorb and retain moisture in the air nearby into the Epidermis to increase Skin hydration Attract water from deeper layers of Skin (Dermis) to the outer Skin layers (Epidermis) in dry environments. Create a film on the surface of Skin to […]

TEWL

Water evaporation through the Epidermis is known as Transepidermal water loss and is used to characterize Skin barrier function. TEWL is a process that the Skin naturally regulates however, certain factors that can damage the Skin barrier function can also affect TEWL levels negatively. Injury, low humidity weather conditions and topically applied products that dry […]

NMF

The NMFs are naturally occurring substances in our Skin that keep it hydrated and protected. NMFs along with the naturally occurring lipids protect the Skin from dehydration. The NMF is composed of Amino Acids, Lactic Acid and Lactate Salts (usually Sodium Lactate), sodium PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid), Urea, Metal Ions and, Sugars.

Skin barrier

The outermost layer of Skin cells (Stratum corneum) plus the lipid matrix (composed of ceramides, cholesterols and fatty acids) that holds those cells together. The Skin barrier is like a brick wall; The cells are the bricks, and the intracellular lipid matrix is the mortar. It keeps environmental agressions (like pollution and UV rays) and […]

Humectant

A Humectant is a hygroscopic substance that has a molecular structure with several hydrophilic (water-loving) groups. This structure allows humectants to attract and retain the moisture in the air nearby , several times their weight in water, via absorption, drawing the water vapor into or beneath the surface. They increase the water content in the […]

Hypodermis

This layer provides insulation to the body to keep it warm, provides a cushion that works like a shock absorber surrounding vital organs and contains blood vessels. Hypodermis attaches the Skin to the muscles and tissue below it. This layer can be thicker in some parts of the body than others.
