  • ILEX Skin Protectant ILEX SKIN PROTECTANT Is A

    ILEX Skin Protectant ILEX SKIN PROTECTANT Is A

    DESCRIPTION - ILEX Skin Protectant ILEX SKIN PROTECTANT is a topical skin barrier for use on intact or broken skin, a variety of dermal wounds and stomal irritations. Ilex adheres to moist weeping wounds to form an occlusive barrier against urinary and faecal material, digestive enzymes and wound exudates. Ilex is alcohol free so it is safe to use on all skin types, from babies to the elderly. Ilex can be used in conjunction with other prescribed treatment such as topical steroid and antibiotic therapy. • Helps maintain a moist environment that maximizes healing with a unique 0.00cm/hr MPR (moisture penetration rate). • The occlusive barrier formed by the paste helps to prevent external microbial filtration and therefore helps prevent infection. • Adheres to moist weeping tissue (broken skin) using copolymer bioadhesives which forms an occlusive barrier - particularly effective against digestive & urinary acids and wound exudates • Soft, flexible and easy to apply - minimises pain and disturbance to wounds. • Inert and non-toxic; contains no alcohol or latex and is not absorbed systemically so it’s safe to use on fragile skin, paediatric and elderly • Bio-compatible with medical and surgical devices and ostomy appliances • Ilex may be used in conjunction with prescribed topical agents such as antifungal and antibacterial. INGREDIENTS Calcium/ Sodium PVM/MA Copolymers, LiquiparPE, Cornstarch, Zinc, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Petroleum jelly INDICATIONS: Prevention and treatment of a wide range of skin irritations and excoriations due to: • Skin irritation and breakdown, caused by urinary and faecal incontinence. Ilex provides an effective barrier against the devastating effects of urine and faeces. Ilex contains no alcohol, and will adhere to denuded weeping tissues, without discomfort to the patient.

[email protected] Moisturising lip balm is an essential cosmetic product to enhance the lips appearance as well as to prevent inflammation or cracked lips. Lip balm with moisturising function formulated using all-natural ingredients is very significant because of the negative side effect awareness among people on using the unnatural or chemically derived ingredients of the lip balm. However, the stability analysis of this natural lip balm must be co nducted to ensure the safety of the product as well as to predict the product shelf life. This study aims to evaluate the stability of carrot lip balm in two weeks under room temperature and refrigerator condition. Three lip balms with different concentration of virgin coconut oil (VCO) to carrot (35:65, 38:62, 43:57) were formulated and tested for their physicochemical properties (texture, colour, pH and spread ability) for two weeks.

  • ECZEMA Tips to Care for Your Skin

    ECZEMA Tips to Care for Your Skin

    ECZEMA Tips to Care for Your Skin Limit contact with things that can irritate your skin. Some things that may irritate your skin include household cleansers, detergents, aftershave lotions, soap, gasoline, turpentine and other solvents. Try to avoid contact with things that make you break out with eczema. Because soaps and wetness can cause skin irritation, wash your hands only when necessary, especially if you have eczema on your hands. Be sure to dry your hands completely after you wash them. Wear gloves to protect the skin on your hands. Wear vinyl or plastic gloves for work that requires you to have your hands in water. Also, wear gloves when hands will be exposed to anything that can irritate your skin. Wear cotton gloves under plastic gloves to soak up sweat from your hands. Take occasional breaks and remove your gloves to prevent a buildup of perspiration inside your gloves. Wear gloves when you go outside during the winter. Cold air and low humidity can dry your skin, and dryness can make your eczema worse. Wear clothes made of cotton or a cotton blend. Wool and some synthetic fabrics can irritate your skin. Most people with sensitive skin feel better in clothes made of cotton or a cotton blend. Care for your skin in the bath or shower. Bathe only with a mild soap, such as Dove, Basis or Oil of Olay. Use a small amount of soap when bathing. Keep the water temperature cool or warm, not hot. Soaking in the tub for a short time can be good for your skin because the skin’s outer layer can absorb water and become less dry.

Rogowsky Director of Operations Karen Laney-Cummings Director of Industries Address all communications to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 U.S. International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Advice Concerning the Addition of Certain Pharmaceutical Products and Chemical Intermediates to the Pharmaceutical Appendix to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Investigation No. 332--476 Publication 3883 September 2006 This report was prepared principally by Office of Industries Philip Stone, Project Leader With assistance from Elizabeth R. Nesbitt Primary Reviewers David G. Michels, Office of Tariff Affairs and Trde Agreements, John Benedetto, and Nannette Christ, Office of Economics Administrative Support Brenda F. Carroll Under the direction of Dennis Rapkins, Chief Chemicals and Textiles Division ABSTRACT Under the Pharmaceutical Zero-for-Zero Initiative, which entered into force in 1995, the United States and its major trading partners eliminated tariffs on many pharmaceuticals, their derivatives, and certain chemical intermediates used to make pharmaceuticals. The U.S. list of pharmaceutical products and chemical intermediates eligible for duty-free treatment under the agreement is given in the Pharmaceutical Appendix to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The Pharmaceutical Appendix is periodically updated to provide duty relief for additional such products, including newly developed pharmaceuticals. This report provides advice on the third update to the agreement, in which approximately 1,300 products are proposed to receive duty-free treatment.
