General information

Industrial skin care products are part of the company's three-stage skin protection concept. They are regarded as cosmetics and can be administered as ointments, creams or lotions. They serve to regenerate and maintain the epidermal barrier function of the skin and contain special ingredients such as ceramides, glycerides, sterols and fatty acids which support the regeneration process after skin-stressing activities.
Suitable skin care products supply the skin with lipid components, moisture and moisture-binding substances during the work-free and thus stress-free period.
Skin care products are applied after or during working hours on cleansed and dry skin. They mainly differ from the skin protection products by the lack of specific ingredients like film formers like perfluoropolyethers or long-chain fatty acids for the protection against certain occupational stress. For this reason skin care products have to be distinguished from skin protection products. The selection of skin care products primarily depends on the individual skin condition of the user after occupational skin stress. However, this is difficult to implement in everyday working life where a skin care product has to be provided by the employer for several persons with different skin types. In most companies creams and lotions are therefore offered as O/W emulsions which should have a sufficiently high lipid content of at least 20% in addition to a good absorption capacity. In the private sector an individual concept tailored to the skin condition of the user should be applied. O/W emulsions with a low lipid content are recommended for normal skin. Dry skin requires lipid-rich O/W emulsions or very dry skin needs W/O emulsions.
