MANAGING NEONATAL SKIN DAMAGE
The use of Phytoplex
™
and Soothe&Cool
®
in the management of damaged and at-risk
skin in a NICU environment*
Objective: To determine the efficacy of Phytoplex on protecting neonatal skin. A clinical study was
performed on a cross section of the neonatal population when a new micronutrient-based skincare
product line (Remedy
®
with Phytoplex
™
) was introduced for general use to moisturize both normal
body and perineal skin as well as erythematous areas, especially in the perineal area.
Results: Phytoplex Nourishing Skin Cream,
Phytoplex Hydraguard
TM
and Soothe&Cool
Skin Paste were found to be safe and well
tolerated in neonates (average age 31
weeks gestation) with no incidence of
product related reactions (over 1,489
discrete exposures to product). Phytoplex
Nourishing Skin Cream and Phytoplex
Hydraguard provided effective care for
skin damage reduction.
Remedy with Phytoplex was well tolerated by
neonates in an NICU environment.
REMEDY WITH PHYTOPLEX
TESTED FOR GENTLENESS IN ADULTS
Objective: To determine the safety of the Phytoplex™ range of products on an adult population
via the repeat insult patch testing (RIPT) method over two weeks.*
Results: In this series of testing of over 50 adults for 10-14 days, the Phytoplex Hydrating
Foaming Cleanser, the Phytoplex Nourishing Skin Cream, and the Phytoplex Hydraguard™ skin
cream with silicone blend did not cause adverse skin reactions.
TESTED FOR GENTLENESS IN CHILDREN
Objective: To determine the safety of Phytoplex™ system on a pediatric population (2-36 months)
during repeat exposure over 4 weeks of daily use*
Results: Phytoplex Hydrating Cleansing Foam and Phytoplex Nourishing Skin Cream did not
demonstrate a potential to elicit dermal irritation when applied to the arms, legs, torso and back of
35 neonates. No clinically signicant evidence of increases in erythema, edema, or dryness
was observed following two and four weeks of use.
