Skin-barrier strengthener: Probiotic BIOTILYS®
The innovative ingredient BIOTILYS®is obtained from the Lactobacillus pentosus,which belongs to the family of gram-positive bacteria of the order Lactobacillales(lactic acid bacteria). Fermentation produces lactic acid, the protective andregenerating effect of which medicine has known for a long time. BIOTILYS®actsboth antimicrobially and as a radical scavenger and soothes the skin. In addition,the probiotic supports the skin barrier with moisturizing the skin (hydration) andprotects against loss of moisture (TEWL). Placebo-controlled clinical studies1provethat BIOTILYS®reduces the TEWL to one third and restores the skin barrier.In addition, the in vivo studies showed a significant increase in hydration (skinmoisture). The probiotic active substance BIOTILYS®in GEHWOL and GERLASANbalance products activates the natural reproduction of healthy bacteria of theskin flora and restores their balance. It regenerates and strengthens the naturalskin barrier and protects the skin.

Moisturiser: White tea extract
The Chinese Shen Nung discovered the pleasant effect of white tea in 2737 BC.The main growing area is therefore in China. The extraction of the noblebeverage is extremely complex and was developed between the 10th and14th centuries. For one kilogramme, 30,000 buds have to be picked by hand.At that time, the Chinese recognized the healing effects.
High-quality white tea contains caffeine, many vitamins as well as iron, calcium,potassium, fluoride, sodium and zinc. The white tea extract used in the threebalance products is purely natural and is extracted from the leaves of Camelliasinensis. It supplies the skin with moisture and protects it against moisture loss.

Care booster: Pure sesame oil
The sesame oil contained rounds off the balance formulation. It is obtained fromthe seeds of the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum), which grow in a long nut.It originally comes from India and China. The pressed seeds, the so-called presscake, are also used and serve as animal feed because of their very high proteincontent. In traditional Asian cuisine, the popular oil is widely used as an edible oil inmany dishes. Masseurs use the product for the nurturing massage with pleasure.
The stable and long-lasting oil is popular in the cosmetics industry due to itsnourishing properties. For care products, it provides a high proportion ofunsaturated fatty acids, for example linoleic acid. This in turn helps the oil tosupport the moisturizing effect of the balance series. The care booster makes theskin noticeably smoother and suppler.
