Question

Can a formula containing:

  • Beta Glucan
  • Rice Vitamin (Inositol, Vitamin B8)
  • Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin 1%)

be used for allergic skin? Are there any suggestions for improving the formula, especially if the skin has symptoms like dryness, peeling, or itching?

Answer

Formula for Allergic Skin

Based on the formula provided and the staff's reply, this formula can be used for allergic skin to help reduce symptoms, strengthen the skin, and balance it.

  • Beta Glucan: Helps strengthen the skin, reduce allergic reactions, protect from irritation, and reduce inflammation.
  • Rice Vitamin (Inositol, Vitamin B8): Helps balance skin moisture, suitable for both oily and dry skin.
  • Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin 1%): Effective in reducing inflammation and skin irritation, moisturizing, stimulating skin cell production, and reducing allergic reactions.

The staff also suggested that if the allergic skin experiences dryness, peeling, or itching, it would be beneficial to add a moisturizer to the formula. Recommended options include:

  • Ceramide Complex: Helps restore dry, damaged, and sensitive skin, protects and creates a moisture barrier, making the skin more resistant to irritants and less prone to allergies.
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Acts as a humectant and moisturizer, helps retain moisture, serves as a skin barrier, reduces inflammation, redness, allergic reactions, itching, and helps heal wounds.

Adding Ceramide Complex (3-5%) or Panthenol (Vitamin B5) (3%) can further enhance the formula's ability to strengthen the skin and alleviate dryness often associated with allergic reactions.
