Apart from a general appetite from skin
care users towards natural and organic cosmetics, it just
so happens that some of the finest ingredients used in today's
cosmeceuticals are actually derived from natural sources.
Medik8 uses green chemistry which is an emerging field of
science that refers to more environmental and skin friendly
manufacturing techniques especially with regard to the production
and extraction of actives. Medik8 avoid using ethoxylation
techniques for example.
Medik8 promise to use the green biochemistry techniques
wherever it does not compromise the user’s sensitivity
or the product’s effectiveness – this is why
Medik8 is a pioneering green cosmeceutical range.
Even though Medik8 is not marketed
as a 'Natural' or 'Organic' brand - it is actually entitled
to label itself as Medik8 Natural or even Medik8 Organic.
Of course, every Medik8 formula complies fully with the
European Union's EC Cosmetics Directive 1976 (as amended)
but what is more surprising given Medik8 is a high-end cosmeceutical
company is that the majority of Medik8 formulae also meets
and in many cases far exceed the requirements set by organic
and natural certification bodies such as the Soil Association,
BDIH, Ecocert and Organic Farmers & Growers. Medik8
have chosen at this stage not to gain organic certification
as we do not wish this process to detract from the more
important company focus of results based research.
Medik8 is the British skin research company pioneering cosmeceutical technologies to make the most effective ingredients suitable for even the most sensitive skin, yet crucially without compromising efficacy. Medik8 cosmeceuticals may be used by everyone. Apart from being kinder to the skin, it turns out this new technology is kinder to the planet too. That’s why Medik8 is known as the ‘Green Cosmeceutical’ brand. Most skin is sensitive, it is just to what degree that distinguishes it from others. A simple change of washing powder can demonstrate this. People of all ages and skin types can periodically suffer from sensitive skin, making them particularly susceptible to certain irritating cosmeceutical ingredients. In fact, those suffering from acne, rosacea or psoriasis usually have greater skin sensitivity, which can be exacerbated by some aggressive treatment products that they use. The challenge for Medik8 is to make effective ingredients less aggressive without reducing potency. We do this in many ways for example using film-encapsulation, chirally correct actives, non-acid derivatives and patented anti-erythema technologies. Of course, using any effective strength actives, for example retinols and fruit acids, will cause some stinging to even the toughest skins, but Medik8 pharmacologists have minimised the degree of irritation and in some cases made it absent all together. No longer are the most powerful and effective ingredients beyond the reach of people who want the gain without the pain! And who doesn’t want that? Ask your skin care professional about what Medik8 can do for you.
