Möt Julia & Shila som tillsammans bildar Opposite House = vår kreativa byrå och samarbetspartner! Tillsammans med dem har vi utvecklat den visuella världen för vårt varumärke och vi tycker att resultatet blev helt fantastiskt. I denna video berättar de mer om vår produktdesign* och processen bakom skapandet av den samt vad designen på våra etiketter faktiskt illustrerar.
Under alltför lång tid har det egentligen bara funnits ett alternativ på hudvårdsmarknaden, nämligen det vi på Skinome Project kallar traditionell hudvård. Det är den hudvård du hittar på butikshyllor och i nätbutiker idag. Den traditionella hudvården innehåller ofta så mycket konserveringsmedel så att produkterna håller i minst 30 månader - det vill säga 2,5 år! Det här gynnar såklart tillverkare, återförsäljare och, för all del, även oss konsumenter (det kan ju ses som praktiskt att kunna ha en produkt stående i månader i rumstemperatur utan att den förändras).
Men frågan är - hur bra är det här egentligen för huden?
Most of us love spending time in the sun and if we enjoy the sun in reasonable amounts, it can give us many health benefits. However, overexposure to UV radiation can not only cause painful red-burnt skin but also more long-term effects such as premature aging of the skin with deep wrinkles and brown spots. Excessive tanning can also cause various forms of skin cancer. To protect yourself against the harmful sun rays, you can minimize time spent outdoors during mid-day hours when the sun is at its highest point, put on a protective layer of clothing and a sun hat, and apply sunscreen to exposed skin. And precisely those - the sunscreen products – we are going to dive into now.
This recipe is made by our intern Anna Gardell, who also has the Instagram account @Eatingnaked where she shares inspiring food recipes (we definitely recommend you to check it out!). Anna put this recipe together and picked ingredients that we know contains a lot of nutrients that boost the skin.
Your skin will be thankful to you for many reasons if you eat fatty acids omega 3 and omega 6. Fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin which means that they are particularly beneficial for people with skin inflammation such as acne or eczema. Clinical studies are showing that omega 3 supplements can reduce skin inflammation associated with disorders like psoriasis or eczema.
This is our Spicy Polyphenol Bonanza-recipe that combines the stilbene resveratrol with the tannin procyanidin. Both belong to an enormous group of antioxidants that are called polyphenols in which there are mainly three important classes being stilbenes, tannins, and flavonoids. Polyphenols are the group of antioxidants that have been most researched in connection with skin aging. A diet rich in polyphenols is believed to be good for both our internal organs and our external one – the skin.
Skin cream contains emollients to preserve moisture in the skin, preventing it from becoming dry and flaky. There are both synthetic emollients, such as squalene and mineral oils, and natural emollients such as lanolin and cocoa butter.
Sunscreen products sold in Europe are covered by cosmetic products legislation. According to the regulations, sunscreen products should be labeled with certain symbols and specific labels to guide the user. It can be difficult to understand all the numbers, text and symbols on the sunscreen. Figure 2 gives a brief explanation of the most common labels.
Winter, heat, water, dry air, lots of handwashing, soap and sanitizer. A normal day in our life can really take its toll on our poor hands! Washing our hands is a habit we hardly think about, but what about moisturizing our hands? Many of us tend to forget this and our hands will not be late to tell us. Dryness, itching, stinging and sometimes cracks that hurt and just won’t heal. Ouch!
UV filters affect the environment around us and can in some cases also affect the person using the product. The higher the molecular weight of a substance, the less likely it is to penetrate the skin. Since UV filters only provide UV protection on the skin's surface, the filters that do not penetrate the skin will work the best...
All sun protection products are resource-intensive and have an environmental impact, which comes from producing the raw materials as well as the product itself, its packaging, and all associated transport. These products also affect the environment after we use them. Aquatic organisms and their ecosystems are particularly affected because most of the products we use eventually end up in the water — when we swim, when we shower after the beach or when we wash clothes and towels with residual sunscreen.
In the past decade, research on the microbiome has completely boomed. Each one of us carries trillions of microorganisms in the form of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on our skin. There are so many that we actually have more bacterial...
