Organic face creams – naturally strengthens the skin barrier

Introduction: DMS and Corneotherapy

• Corneotherapy as a foundation: Corneotherapy is particularly valued in dermatological and cosmetic circles and is a caring approach to strengthening the skin barrier. This protection is essential for long-term healthy and youthful skin.
• Skin barrier as key : Corneotherapy recognizes that strengthening the skin barrier is crucial to alleviate skin problems and slow down the aging process.

The special structure of DMS face creams

• Definition and structure: DMS (Derma Membrane Structure) stands for a lamellar structure modeled on the skin. These biomimetic creams mimic the natural lipid layers that protect and stabilize the skin barrier.
• Differentiation from conventional creams: In contrast to DMS creams, traditional creams contain emulsifiers with a dipolar structure, which also attack the skin's own lipids and thus weaken the skin barrier in the long term (known as the "wash-out effect").

Benefits of DMS face creams

• Effects on the skin: DMS facial creams offer a variety of benefits:
  • Skin barrier is repaired, resulting in smoother and firmer skin.
  • Relieves redness and inflammation.
  • Long-lasting, deep-acting moisture.
• Recommendation for special skin needs: DMS creams are particularly suitable for problematic skin conditions such as neurodermatitis, acne, rosacea and psoriasis.

Special composition: Emulsifier-free thanks to phosphatidylcholine

• Alternative to conventional emulsifiers : The myrto DMS face creams are emulsifier-free and instead use “Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine”, a plant-based active ingredient from sunflowers.
• Function of Phosphatidylcholine : This ingredient belongs to the skin-like phospholipids and has a lamellar structure that mimics the skin barrier and thus acts as a natural strengthener of the skin's protective layer.

Minimalist and skin-friendly ingredients

• Focus on the essentials : myrto's DMS creams are free of fillers and unnecessary additives. We rely on a reduced selection of natural, high-quality ingredients.
• Skin-like lipids and antioxidants : Key ingredients are skin-like lipids derived from organic plant oils such as jojoba, argan, and grape seed oil. Organic aloe vera gel provides moisture. Vitamins E and A, and beta-glucan act as antioxidants to reduce inflammation and provide moisture.
• Quality of raw materials : All raw materials are hypoallergenic, vegan, organically grown or from controlled wild collection.

Avoidance of potentially skin-irritating ingredients

• Free from fragrances, alcohol, and preservatives : myrto facial care products are deliberately free from fragrances, alcohol, and preservatives to ensure optimal skin compatibility. This is especially important for sensitive and problematic skin types.

Quality of the vegetable oils used: Antioxidant value as a quality feature

Different quality levels of vegetable oils:

• Cold-pressed vegetable oils (value ✓✓✓) : Natural, cold-pressed oils offer the highest antioxidant effect and skin compatibility. They contain essential secondary plant substances such as vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids.
• Deodorized vegetable oils (value ✓✓) : The natural odorous substances are filtered out, which leads to a longer shelf life, but also reduces the antioxidant content.
• Refined vegetable oils (value ✓) : Refined oils have an even longer shelf life, but contain a greatly reduced amount of antioxidants.
• Neutral oil (value 0) : Neutral or ester oils derived from fatty acids, often palm or coconut oil, contain no antioxidants. They offer a light skin feel but no additional valuable conditioning properties.
• Silicone oil (value ✖): Silicone oils based on mineral oils are comedogenic, meaning they clog pores and are poorly biodegradable in the environment. They are prohibited in natural cosmetics.

DMS face creams: Proven skin compatibility

• Dermatest Certificate : The emulsifier-free myrto organic face creams have been certified by the DERMATEST Institute as having excellent skin compatibility for sensitive skin. This award confirms their suitability for sensitive skin types.

Choosing the right DMS face creams

• Difference to masks and night creams : Myrto face creams are lighter and work well under makeup. Our masks and night creams, on the other hand, are richer. They offer more moisture and regenerative nutrients.
• Differences between the 3 skin type series : The series vary in active ingredients and lipid content:
  • Grape Seed Face Cream M (for combination skin) : Fat content 30%
  • Jojoba face cream (for sensitive skin) : fat content approx. 33%
  • Argan face cream (for dry and mature skin) : fat content 36%
• Suitability for night : Since myrto DMS face creams are formulated without chemical or mineral sunscreen filters, they are also suitable as night care.
  • Soothing face mask & night cream
  • Revitalizing anti-aging mask & night cream

Conclusion

Especially for sensitive and problematic skin types, but also for the long-term care of healthy, youthful skin, myrto DMS creams are a convincing choice that focuses on the highest quality and effectiveness.
