According to inventors at Truezyme Co., Ltd., the causes of—and effective treatment for—atopic dermatitis have not been clearly established. As such, therapeutic agents to alleviate the symptoms have been used, including steroid preparations, oral antihistamines, hydroxyquinoline, tar preparations and hypoallergenic moisturizers.
In relation, topical cosmetics have been formulated to relieve atopic dermatitis. Such solutions must be designed so as not to cause pruritus or skin irritation, and to provide skin soothing effects, inhibit inflammation, suppress pathogenic bacterial growth, moisturize skin and maintain the skin barrier.
However, there remains a need to address this skin condition with minimal side effects such as irritation. There is also increasing demand for cosmetics containing natural ingredients. Accordingly, the present research describes a composition for relieving atopic dermatitis that demonstrates excellent in vivo biostability and skin-soothing effects. It is based on a Bifidobacterium-fermented extract, in combination with other natural extracts.
