Skin Care Breakthrough


"Shielding Lotions are a new type of skin care product based on years of research into how skin heals. They form a protective shield with the outer layer of skin and help keep out irritants. They allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better and they're light in texture so they go on without a greasy mess. Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants.

A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional skin care lotions is that Shielding Lotions enhance the skin's own natural protective abilities by turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield making them many times more effective than mere protective lotions and moisturizing creams."

Octinoxate 7%:
(Octyl Methoxycinnamate)
Octyl methoxycinnamate (INCI), or octinoxate (USAN), is an organic compound that is an ingredient in some sunscreens and lip balms. It is an ester formed from methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. It is a clear liquid that is insoluble in water. In studies, this ingredient was shown to have a low acute toxicity, is non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

Its primary use is in suncreens and other cosmetics to absorb UVB rays from the sun, protecting the skin from damage.

Octinoxate is highly efficient ultraviolet shield that the FDA has qualified as Category I sunscreen. Investigators have found that octinoxate, also known as octyl methoxycinnamate, protects the skin against not only sunburn but also UV light-induced DNA alterations (DNA-protective effect). Octinoxate may help protect against UV-light induced DNA changes and boost the SPF of sunscreen products.


Octisalate 5%:
(2-Ethylhexyl Salicylate)
Octisalate is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics. It is an ester formed by the condensation of a salicylic acid with 2-ethylhexanol. It is a colorless oily liquid with a slight floral odor. Octyl salicylate is used to augment the UVB protection in a sunscreen. Octyl salicylate appears to have a good safety profile.

Octisalate absorbs the full range of UVB light (wavelengths from 290nm to 320nm), responsible for sunburn.

The salicylate portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting skin from the harmful effects of exposure to sunlight. The ethylhexanol portion is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and water resistant properties.


Homosalate 3%:
3,3,5-Trimethylcyclohexyl Salicylate
Homosalate is an organic compound used in some sunscreens. It is an ester formed from salicylic acid and 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol, a derivative of cyclohexanol.

The salicylic acid portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays with a wavelength from 295nm to 315nm, protecting the skin from sun damage. The hydrophobic cyclohexanol portion provides greasiness that prevents it from dissolving in water.
