While formulating the collection, Osmosis found four leading causes of dry skin:
SOURCE #1: NUTRITION
Diets high in caffeine, sugar, or alcohol while often also poor in good fats can cause skin vasoconstriction, dehydration, and reduced nutrient delivery. This prevents the epidermis from properly maintaining optimal health.
SOURCE #2: INFLAMMATION
Skin conditions, primarily rosacea, utilize more nutrients in order to calm inflammation, which leads to difficulty producing a complete barrier. When the barrier is not intact water loss occurs, dehydrating the skin.
SOURCE #3: PRODUCT MANUFACTURING
When exfoliants or chemicals like Alpha Hydroxy Acids are overused they may strip the protective lipid barrier causing moisture loss.
SOURCE #4: CLIMATE
Wind, humidity, and temperature will all have an effect on the skin. When the moisture content in the air drops, it will also drop in skin. Wind wicks away moisture and cold air reduces blood flow to skin due to heat regulation. All of these cold weather-related factors cause a loss of lipids due to nutrient depletion.
To target the above sources, the Moisturizing Collection includes: Lift Away Cleansing Balm, Nourish Organic Facial Oil, Enrich Restorative Night Crème, and Remedy Healing Balm.
