Do you know the important role your skin barrier plays? 🤔 Skin barrier function, also known as the stratum corneum (SC) the outermost layer of the epidermis, it's our natural barrier against external factors like pollutants, UV radiation, and microbes, while also helping to retain moisture within the skin (regulating water loss), and providing us with an essential sensory interface to the outside world. Cosmetic products often aim to either support or enhance the skin's barrier function. A picture is worth a thousand words (OxiProteomics results in ex vivo skin models by visualization and quantification of the skin barrier target biomarker): ❌At the top of the image, is a skin barrier weakened by daily assaults. ✅At the bottom, a thicker skin barrier after applying a cosmetic product tailored to its needs. A strengthened skin, ready to face the world with confidence! Let's never forget to appreciate and take care of this wonderful barrier that protects us and connects us to the world! 💪✨ #SkinCare #Cosmeticsindustry #SkinHealth #SkinProtection
