Intended use: BioapifitÒ anti atopic ointment is intended for adult population of both genders and children older than 12 years of age to help relieve the signs/symptoms like dry skin, impaired epidermal barrier function, itching, flaking, burning, redness, increase in skin pH associated with chronic, non-infectious inflammatory skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, perioral dermatitis, psoriasis vulgaris, psoriasis erythrodermica, lichen planus I.

Mode of action: Thanks to the ingredients with hydrating, humectant, emollient, soothing, pH-adjusting and coating effect, the ointment creates a protective layer on the damaged skin that alleviates the symptoms of the non-infectious inflammatory skin diseases by preventing the contact of pathogens and allergens with the damaged skin barrier and preventing trans-epidermal water loss and, consequently, skin drying. Furthermore, the ointment promotes the restoration of epidermal barrier function by optimizing skin hydration, preventing trans-epidermal water loss, and lowering skin pH toward a healthy range. The product removes the scaly surface of the skin by the emollient action of macerates and vegetable oils. The humectant, soothing and emollient effect of glycerin and honey in the combination with vegetable oils and oil macerates relieves flaking, burning, redness and itching.

Instructions for use: Apply the ointment onto affected parts of the skin 5-6 times a day. Duration of the treatment depends on the type of disease and severity of the symptoms. The product may be used for 28 consecutive days.
