Oilatum's new soothe and protect baby line♥
In healthy skin, the outermost
layer, called the stratum corneum, acts as a barrier. It protects the skin and
body from irritants and allergens, and maintains its moisture levels. The cells
within this layer, called corneocytes, are hydrated and surrounded by a lipid
(fatty) layer providing a healthy skin barrier.
Once the lipid layer is depleted
or dehydrated, Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) increases and leads to skin
dryness. The increasingly dry skin becomes vulnerable, allowing external
substances to easily penetrate into its outer layer, causing itchiness and
irritation. The natural balance is lost and the skin cell renewal process is
disrupted.
