The intensive regenerating cream Licotriz, discover the secret of its success.

Cosmetic procedures, and therefore cosmetics, are generally used to reverse the visible signs of aging, particularly facial rejuvenation, and to treat skin conditions such as scars, superficial lesions, wounds, vascular issues, and skin disorders. I want to tell you in detail about our intensive regenerating cream, Licotriz.

I want to start by defining what is called a dermatological cosmetic. A dermatological cosmetic is one that offers effective solutions to a wide range of skin afflictions.

The cream is perhaps the most widely used pharmaceutical form for external medication in dermatology. It is the most commonly used cosmetic worldwide, as it is made from a lipid base that easily incorporates vehicles and active ingredients. It can be applied to almost the entire skin surface, including hairy areas, generally with good tolerance. It is an evaporating preparation that offers good penetration of active agents, is refreshing, and non-occlusive, as it allows for skin perspiration. It appears as a single phase, is aesthetically elegant, pleasant, and dermatologically accepted due to its affinity with the hydrolipidic film.

Licotriz by Olivolea is also an o/w cream, meaning it has an oily base and is neither a gel, a light emulsion, nor a lotion.

The excipients generally used in the preparation of compounded formulas can be of three basic types: fats (whether liquid, viscous, or solid, such as olive oil emollients, petroleum jelly, lanolin, shea butter...), powders (which are refreshing, drying, and decongesting, the most commonly used being talc, zinc oxide, kaolin...), and liquids (mainly water and alcohol). These excipients can be used individually or mixed together, resulting in medicinal bases. Licotriz is a clear example of a well-thought-out compound formula that provides a plant-based, natural medicinal base.

Natural cosmetics are, therefore, a gift for our skin, as the penetration of active ingredients is greater when they are more similar to the hydrolipidic film, which is why our formulas always integrate natural substances to achieve the best results and be truly effective.

What are the components of Licotriz?

These are considered in the category of natural actives that function as adjuncts or high-activity therapeutic complements.

• Oleic Acid
  Helps create a protective film that serves a dual purpose: preventing dehydration and protecting the skin from external aggressions. The high concentration of oleic acid and the presence of antioxidants make it a key element in the reconstruction of cell membranes, and thus in the regeneration of the epidermis. Without this process, our skin would appear dull and lack vitality.

• Allantoin
  A product of protein metabolism, allantoin stimulates wound healing and accelerates cellular regeneration. Additionally, when applied topically, it exerts a keratolytic effect.

• Alpha Bisabolol
  A calming and soothing agent obtained from chamomile extract. Its high desensitizing power reduces edema and inflammation, making it especially suitable for treating very sensitive skin. This justifies its frequent use as an ingredient in products designed for such purposes, such as those used after laser treatments and other aggressive treatments on the skin.

• Witch Hazel (Hamamelis)
  Activates skin circulation and has a healing and astringent effect. It is used for dermatitis, eczema, dry skin, and wrinkles. Due to its vasoconstrictor effect, it lowers the temperature of the dermis.

• Pure Lycopene Extract from Tomato
  Helps balance melanin production and evens out skin tone. It has protective effects on fibroblasts exposed to UVA radiation from cell lines and possesses anti-inflammatory properties.

• Rosehip Licotop
  Its regenerative function is fundamental as it activates cellular regeneration in skin lesions or scars, permeabilizes the cell membrane, and is revitalizing and reepithelializing. It stimulates collagen and elastin production in fibroblasts, maintaining the skin's flexibility.

• Zinc Oxide
  A dermal healer used as an antiseptic, skin astringent, decongestant, and therefore as a pruritus sedative in eczema and as an adjunct in skin redness.

Commercially, thousands of different creams are available in all sizes and cosmetic forms, with the main differences between them being the vehicle and the humectants and/or actives used. Licotriz is, therefore, the exceptional intensive regenerating cream that is also formulated with natural and plant-based actives.
