SEBAMED

Sebamed is a brand dedicated to the creation of products for therapeutic skin care, which aim to respect the skin's protective acid mantle. These products have the same pH as the skin in its optimum conditions (5.5), so they cleanse and nourish the skin, without affecting its natural protective function. Sebamed 's efficacy is supported by more than 120 scientific investigations. The brand also offers hair care products.

The pH (potentia hydrogenii) is the indicator of the level of acidity of water-containing elements. Therefore, it is possible to measure the pH of many natural elements, such as chemicals, food, hygiene and cleaning products, as well as skin and hair, because the human body is mostly water. Sebamed products have a pH of 5.5, which is the same level as the human body has when the skin is healthy. Water has pH7, which is considered "neutral", but which is higher than the pH level of the skin, so products which claim to have a neutral pH in their description are not at the same level as the skin in terms of acidity. Sebamed products have the same acidity as the skin surface and therefore do not damage the acid mantle, in contrast to traditional soaps, which have a pH of between 9 and 12.

What products does Sebamed offer?

The function of the acid mantle of the skin is to protect the body from harmful micro-organisms, thus defending the body from infections, allergies and irritations and at the same time preventing skin dryness. It is important that hygiene products respect the acid mantle of the skin, as is the case with Sebamed. It is recommended that the skin does not come into contact with chemical agents that could damage the skin, for which it is recommended to use gloves during cleaning tasks, and also when handling any type of chemical substance, for example when applying hair dyes.

This brand has a wide range of products indicated to preserve the natural pH of the skin. Within the body care range, there is the oil-in-water emulsion lotion, especially for sensitive skin, as well as body milk, and the soap-free Sebamed cleansing tablet, which does not dry out the skin and cleanses the pores gently and effectively. This product contains essential amino acids and moisturisers; it also contains vitamin E and panthenol, which are beneficial for regenerating the skin and preventing the formation of free radicals. Sebamed soap-free bath gel emulsions contain natural moisturising components, such as pentavitin and allantoin, which help to keep the skin soft and smooth. Other products in the body care range are shower oil and aloe dermo-moisturising gel.

Within the facial products, Sebamed moisturising cream helps to prevent premature ageing, as well as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is composed of moisturising substances that help the skin to regain its water balance. This makes the complexion look fresh and smooth. Also within the range of face products there is a Sebamed baby face cream, which protects your baby's skin from harmful substances and helps it to develop the acid mantle. This cream is very effective against dryness and keeps the baby's delicate skin moisturized. It also protects against irritation caused by saliva around the mouth. Another facial product offered by this brand is the Sebamed Clear Face gel for acne-prone skin. This gel is effective against pimples, blackheads and other skin blemishes and is free of perfume, colourants, oils and emulsifiers. Its pH of 5.5 works by preventing acne-causing bacteria from growing. This Clear Face product line also offers a Sebamed anti-pimple and blackhead gel. Its ingredients include cucumber extract and hydrolysed silk, which are moisturising agents.

This brand has a wide range of baby-specific products, Baby Sebamed. It is necessary to take special care of babies' skin, because they do not yet have the natural protective acid mantle. These Sebamed baby products are dermatologically tested. Baby skin is much thinner than adult skin (about 10 times) and contains more water. It is advisable to use products that help the formation of the acid mantle on the baby's skin. This product line includes eau de cologne, body milk, sun spray and Sebamed baby bath gel, among others.

As far as hair care is concerned, it is recommended that the hair is not washed too frequently, in most cases 2 or 3 washes per week are sufficient. It is very important that the hair is completely wet before shampooing. The water temperature should not exceed 35ºC. It is recommended to use products, such as Sebamed shampoo, which respect the pH of the hair. This shampoo is available in different formats, depending on the hair type. Thus, there is repair shampoo for people with weak or damaged hair; anti-dandruff shampoo for those with greasy hair or greasy dandruff; and Sebamed ultra-gentle shampoo for normal or dry hair. There is also a baby shampoo. It is not recommended to use the hot air dryer often, especially if the dryer is on full power or if it is used very close to the hair. This heat can cause the hair to dehydrate and look very dry and lifeless.

Sebamed has a set with various Baby Sebamed products; cologne, bath gel, body milk and soothing cream. These children's cleansing products protect and nourish your child's skin from the first day of use. The brand offers other products, such as deodorants, which prevent unpleasant body odour, but do not alter the natural function of the sweat glands. There are also specific products for hand and nail care.
