Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Ultra-soothing Balm For Atopic Dermatitis soothes itching, providing immediate relief from skin irritation. The dermatological component palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), which has anti-itching properties, helps skin quickly relieve itching and lessen the need to scratch. Through the biological stimulation of lipid and protein synthesis that forms the intercorneocyte cement, the unique Lipigenium complex-consisting of biolipids naturally present in the epidermis-durably reconstructs the skin barrier. Thanks to the unique LIPIGENIUM technology, Atoderm Intensive balm successfully and permanently restores an effective skin barrier. The patented Skin Barrier Therapy® limits adhesion of certain bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) to the skin surface, which can aggravate skin dryness. Rapid absorption and a pleasing sense of softness are provided by its melting texture. All ages can use it; it provides long-lasting comfort while nourishing, repairing, soothing and protecting the skin.
