Upon WHO reports, skin disease is not a leading cause of mortality, it is not usually thought of as a major health issue in developing countries. However, it is extremely common; up to 21-87% of the population may be affected by some type of skin problem, depending on the locale. It also contributes to significant physical and psychological disabilities. These disabilities have been measured by a number of life quality measures, but the importance of skin health is often underestimated because of the chronic, non-life threatening nature of most skin diseases. Disfigurement and discomfort associated with skin problems make them among the main reasons people seek medical care, and are the cause of approximately 24% of primary care visits. Skin diseases in developing countries have a serious impact on people's quality of life, causing lost productivity at work and school, and discrimination due to disfigurement. Skin changes may also indicate the presence of more serious diseases that need treatment. In the past, such conditions were ignored or given low priority by health authorities because they did not, on the whole, kill people, and they often did not present in tertiary care centers. But now there is a big push at both national and international levels to train health workers in developing countries to improve diagnosis and treatment of dermatological conditions.

This product launch is aimed at securing a robust market presence where there are a lot of existing players. According to the executives, Coresatin products are used to treat several inflammatory skin disorders like psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other severe conditions like diabetic foot ulcers and fungal infections. Products are being marketed in US and Europe, to provide effective relief to those who are suffering from complex skin barrier dysfunctionality and other related conditions. Corena Therapeutics executives also claims that they are presenting innovative and safe alternatives to available treatments. The company focus on designing highly customized products that optimize the therapeutic performance without the undesired side effects and believe that these innovations will have great impact on improving human health.

Columbia Healing Cream develops a unique old world technique for processing aloe that honors traditional methods used to make wine.

(PRWEB) May 30, 2013

But first: what exactly is aloe vera?

As a member of the cactus plant family, aloe vera grows in arid climates and stores moisture in its leaves. The healing qualities of aloe gel have been utilized for centuries - the ancient Egyptians even called aloe the "plant of immortality." The clear gel found in its leaves has widely been used to maintain healthy skin. Most are familiar with the soothing effect of applying aloe to a sunburn.

Aloe gel contains more than 75 naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and enzymes known to help with a number of skin-related issues (1). For example, Aloe contains C and E vitamins that fight aging by keeping skin firm and tight. It has healing and anti-inflammatory hormones that treat acne, burns, dry flaky skin, small cuts, abrasions, itchiness making it an effective treatment for skin (2). According to the Mayo Clinic, topical aloe gel has immunomodulatory properties that may improve wound healing and skin inflammation (3). Medical studies how that aloe has even been known to soothe persistent conditions such as eczema, dandruff, and psoriasis (4,5,6).

So what's the problem with most skin care products containing aloe?

The way in which aloe is extracted and processed has profound implications on how much of the original natural benefits of the plant are maintained in the final product (7). When aloe is extracted under high heat and thrown in a blender, it loses its potency. Much of the benefits are diminished and rendered ineffective in the process, leaving the consumer with a much weaker product (8).

Does it make sense to use a dehydrated product to hydrate your skin?

Not surprisingly, but widely unkown, many companies use powdered aloe to keep costs down since the dehydrated aloe doesn't need to be processed fresh and storage is easy. This makes it cheaper but at the cost of effectiveness. And unlike the orange juice at the grocery store, they don't have to claim that the aloe they are using is made from concentrate so consumers are unaware they are purchasing a product that has been processed to a degree that reduces it's potency (9).

Columbia Healing Cream has taken a quite different approach.

Columbia Healing Cream has developed a specialized way to extract essential aloe through a process called "Cold Pressing" that yields the most effective and least processed aloe isolate. Cold pressed aloe is far more potent than other aloe products that are processed with heat (10). Columbia's process is more time consuming and costly, but it leads to a product that is of superior quality and far more efficacious. With no corners cut, you can liken their delicate old-world methodology to finely crafted wine.

Columbia Healing Cream uses only the most effective ingredients, carefully picked after years of testing for purity and their ability to work in harmony with, and actually enhance the effectiveness, of the other ingredients in the formula. They choose these ingredients, not so they can sport the latest fad ingredients in bold lettering on their packaging, but because Columbia strives to produce the most powerful skin care product on the market. This attention to the most minute detail in their labs, yields twice the healing enzymes, twice the vitamins, twice the soothing amino acids for enhanced skin repair.

People are rightly concerned about the products they put into their bodies as evidenced by the scrutiny they apply when reading the ingredient labels on food products. Columbia believes a product that is absorbed into your skin should be made with equal care and attention to its components. After all, skin is the largest vital organ in the human body. With Columbia brand products, consumers can finally treat it as such.
