Contact Dermatitis Type of Eczema
I have suffered from contact-dermatitis around and above my finger cuticles. For years they have remained red and I have had these painful cracks in my skin that wouldn’t heal. I wore bandages on all my fingers. But the bandages got wet and then the cracks didn’t heal. Now I use the BIOSKINBALM on my hands several times a day and don’t have redness or any cracks! Katty Glyn. NE, USA.

Psoriasis
I have been using the BIOSKINBALM for my psoriasis for about a year now and cannot say enough good things about it. It instantly stops the itching and your skin feels so much better. Nancy Reiss. DE, USA.

Rosacea & cystic acne
I have Rosacea, and I used to control it just by using an Alpha Hydroxy wash.  The problem is that if I ever go on vacation without the wash or something, and get a flair up, I have a lot of trouble getting it down.  Also, I think my rosacea may have gotten worse over time. Anyway, I had cystic acne on my cheeks that had been more or less consistent for months, as well as nasty little nose spots.  Once I started using the rosacea cream, it got much better.  In fact, I can notice a difference just overnight if the problem is surface irritation and not well below the surface.  For instance, I have one cyst now, and it hurts, but if it ever gets to the surface, I am sure the cream will help me. I was pretty skeptical, and my friends make fun of my paying a lot for snail slime, but it seems to work well for me. Tracy Larrabee, California.

Seen my skin become softer and more suple and hydrated
I've been using BIOSKINBALM for months now and I LOVE it!! I have seen my skin become softer and more supple and hydrated, which it hasn't been since I was a teenager! I have gotten amazing results as far as blemishes go. My skin is more clear and I really only get breakouts during my 'time-of-the-month' and even then it is very minor. I'm so thankful to have a product to keep my skin looking good that isn't filled with chemicals. Don't ever stop making this product! Sara Wood, WA, USA.

Nappy rashes and eczema
My 5 month old daughter suffers from recurrent nappy rashes and eczema. The BIOSKINBALM was effective immediately and has cleared up marks caused by the eczema. I have reduced the use of cortisone based creams which were causing other problems. Elena Protyasky. ON, Canada.

Relief for eczema without chemicals
I'm so glad I finally found a product that I do not have to cringe when I use it. My hands have always been rough from working but I am reluctant to use standard hand creams packed with chemicals. It is a gret relief to know something natural can be made for us suffering from eczema. Now I can indulge in vanity and be healthy! I definitely recommend this product, Thanks very much. Cheers. Mary Helen B., London, UK.

Rosacea & Spider Veins
I have clear skin for the first time since before I was a teenager. I'm now 41. Hardly any wrinkles at all, everyone asks what my secret is. It works great for the rosacea, keeps the redness down and seems to help the spider veins. This product keeps it's word. I will advise my sister to try it.  D. Lewis. AL, USA.

Keloids
I have been treated for keloids on my chest for over 25 years with no success. I have two keloids that have growned from the size of a pimple to over three and five inches long. In fact they look like large fingers setting on my chest. A second keloid is one inch. I am on my second bottle of your product and very pleased. The one inch keloid has disappeared. The other two no longer itch, and I have peeled away several layers of dead skin. I only wish that I took before and after pictures. The change is very dramatic. Frank McBride. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Keloids & Folliculitis
The back of my scalp has be overrun by keloids and folliculitis. I have been seeing a doctor and treating this condition for about 5 years with very minimal results. I have been using this product for about 2 months and close to 60% of the keloids are gone or noticably smaller. The Folliculitis also seems to be healing. Thanks for a product that does what it says it will do. Jack D Willm. Wyoming, USA.

Acne Scars
I have been using the balm for less than a month now and my acne scars are dramatically improving. It is also keeping my face clear consistently. I am going to keep using this product for ever. Thank you so much Paul, Tucson AZ.

Treatment for rosacea
Thought I would let you know that after using BIOSKINBALM for two months the rhinophyma (acne rosacea) on my nose is now impossible to see but I can still feel a bit of it. My nose now looks like it did before I got the first rhinophyma in 1999. What is more my brother reports from New Zealand that after only two weeks his nose, which is much worse than mine, has lost much of its redness and this is only after two weeks use. I have been using the product for two months. The acne scars on my forehead have reduced dramatically and can now be concealed with only the Jane Iredale mineral powder. No longer need the camouflage cream. I put a mention of this on the Femail board yesterday because that is where I discovered your product. I will also drop a line to my dermatologist. Dorothea Glover. England.

Post Surgery Keloid scars
I had an upper right pulmonary lobectomy on 9/10/01 ; and, subsequently developed four small (1/2' or less) and one large (4') keloids on the chest wall on the right side of my rib cage and another small (1/2') one on my back. In about a year they became prominent keloids. Being African American and no stranger to keloids I took it in stride (conventional medical wisdom is that nothing can be done). But when they became painful; despite my being a fitness enthusiast and working out every day. Your cream has significantly reduced all of them, especially the larger one. David Starks. New York.

Scars disappearing
Scars are slowly disappearing, and no new growth in their place. I guess the operative term is, 'SLOWLY'; but then that can probably be attributed to our modern desire for the instant fix. And, being that I was repeatedly told by 'medical authorities' that nothing could be done and that I just had to live with it, I really can't complain. I wonder if the healing has really slowed down (my perception) or if it's just impatience. Really appreciate the absence of pain and sensitivity in the area as the healing progresses. (I purchased the cream for surgical keloid scars). David Starks. NY, USA

Scar Tissue
I know that BIOSKINBALM helps me. The front of my nose is all scar tissue; and BIOSKINBALM has faded the scar to the point that it is just a shadow now. I met a new girl the other night because now I can go out without worry. God Bless your little snails... Adam B.  California, USA.

Keratosis Pilaris
I am really enjoying BIOSKINBALM, it has been helping my keratosis pilaris a lot, and helping to reduce the scars it has left. Thanks. Kristine Robinson. UT, USA.

What makes BIOSKINBALM customers rave about it?

BIOSKINBALM includes a NATURAL BIOLOGICAL GLYCOCONJUGATES COMPOUND that dissolves damaged and abnormal tissues, triggers skin regeneration and is a powerful antioxidant plus ROSE HIP OIL, a natural source of both trans retinoic acid (Vitamin A) and essential fatty acids that act in synergy with HYALURONIC ACID a deep moisturizer to rescue, repair and restore sensitive, dry, irritated skin back to health and vitality.

The 100% Natural Skin Care Product & The Ingredients that Make a Difference
The product is a much needed safe and gentle dry skin staple and alternative to the nasty cortisone & steroid ingredients found in most pharmaceutical eczema and psoriasis medications. These steroid-based treatments often come with their own set of nasty side effects (click to find out more about topical steroids side effects and cancer risks of prescription eczema creams), however BIOSKINBALM is totally natural and helps your skin to do the healing itself. It is also an alternative to synthetic, chemical laden products on offer and does not contain any of the toxic, irritant, chemical ingredients commonly found in mainstream skin ‘care’ and even in specialty ‘health’ skin products.

Nature's genius: The success of nature is based upon all things being in balance.

BIOSKINBALM is not a chemical, drug or medication. The complete ingredient list is: (1) Water; (2) Rose Hip Seed Oil; (3) Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates, the richest biological ingredient known for healthy skin, produced by a living being to function as a biological antimicrobial, an inflammatory-moderator, an antioxidant, a moisturizer & a stimulator of scarless healing & skin rejuvenation; (4) Olive Oil emulsifier, surfactant, and squalene by-products that replenish the lipid content of the skin blocking the penetration of allergens and contaminants and working as antioxidants; (5) Seaweed Extract, a rich supply of oligoelements that are needed for cellular development, (6) Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer a naturally occuring skin element capable of holding more water than any other known hydrator; (7) Chamomile for inflammatory skin conditions. It is wonderful for sensitive skin, and helpful in dermatitis; (8) Pentavitin™, Saccharide Isomerate, a carbohydrate complex similar to that present in the stratum corneum of the skin that holds water by strongly binding water to keratin; (9) A preservative made only with the following botanical extracts in minute quantities: Origanum Vulgare (Oregano) Leaf Extract (and) Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract (and) Cinnamomum Zeylanicum (Cinnamon) Bark Extract (and) Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (and) Lavandula Augustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract (and) Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Extract (and) Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract (and) Hydrastis Canadensis (Golden Seal) Root Extract (and) Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract; and nothing else.

Rose Hip Seed Oil is from the seeds of a native wild rose that grows in southern Chile.

It has been used for centuries in South America for its remarkable healing, moisturising and rejuvenating qualities. It aids cell regeneration, boost levels of collagen and elastin, creating a smoother, firmer skin. It also helps to reduce pigmentation, raised scars and stretch marks by promoting healthy skin renewal - it is effective even on old scars. When applied to the skin daily it protects from free radical damage, associated with the harmful influence of sun, weather and ageing.

Rosehip oil contains high levels of essential fatty acids: oleic, linoleic, and linolenic, which help maintain healthy skin, act as anti-inflammatory and nourish the skin with lipids that are necessary to fortify the outer skin barrier and protect the body from the penetration of allergens and toxins. Linoleic and Linoleic acids increase the level of water pressure in the skin (known as turgor) improving the efficacy of the skin barrier.

Rose hip oil is also a natural source of trans-retinoic acid (a natural precursor of vitamin A) and acts as a keratolityc which ditches dead cells and speeds skin turnover, as trans-retinoic-acid in prescription drugs but without any of their side effects.

It was first studied in 1983 by a team of researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacology at the University of Concepcion in Chile, to evaluate the oil's effect in the skin regeneration process. During the two-year study, the oil was applied to 180 patients with surgical scars, injury scars and post-burn scars, as well as to a group suffering from premature aging. It was found that Rosehip Oil produced an effective regenerative action on the skin, helping to attenuate scars and wrinkles, preventing advancement of premature aging, and regaining lost color and tone.

Helix Aspersa Müller glycoconjugates is a skin adaptogen secreted from within the cells of snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller to shield its fragile exposed skin from the sun’s rays, and to keep its skin moist and hydrated. This restorative fluid not only protects the snail’s skin from harm, it actually helps the snail regenerate its own shell if it is ever crushed or broken, and even more: also repairs and restores the funcional capacity of its tentacles, eyes and mouth if bitten by birds. The secretion also has antimicrobial properties to help protect the snail from bacteria. As a result, snails never suffer from skin infections – can you imagine?

The glycoconjugates restore healthy skin, safely and naturally!

Due to the remarkable similarities in the structure of human and snail skin, snail serum is 100% compatible with human skin. That means no allergic reactions, no burning, no redness – BIOBALM is completely safe to use, even on a newborn baby. This compatibility also means that the benefits the snail receives from its own serum can now be experienced by YOU.

A Biological Adaptogen: Helps to Strengthen The Skin. Increases Skin's Capacity to Adapt Naturally to Environmental Stresses.

Adaptogen is a term for nature's gifts that have the ability to produce suitable adjustments in our body, at the cellular level, and work by helping us to protect the body from various kinds of stress and stimulate the body’s own self-regeneration process. These agents support the body’s immune system and thus regulate body processes and help us move towards true health and to stay there. An adaptogen is a natural remedy that helps bolster our innate resistance to disease and helps to prevent stress from taking a devastating toll on our nervous, hormonal and immune systems as well as increase the energy levels of the body. Adaptogens tend to normalize body functions, and when the job is completed, they are eliminated or incorporated into the body without side effects and do not harm the body unlike allopathic drugs. 

Today, thanks to modern technology, we are able to change the natural environment virtually at will. Air conditioning, indoor lighting, central heating, pesticides, preservatives, petroleum, cars, aeroplanes, polyester and plastics are just a few of the countless amenities we use to adapt the environment to our own needs. Yet however convenient or life-supporting these things may seem in the short-term, they are a two-edged sword, bringing us undesirable side effects in the long term. Some of the most obvious of these are already becoming apparent: smog, the thinning ozone layer, the greenhouse effect and the many heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals that are finding their way into our bloodstream for the first time in the history of our body's delicate biochemistry. These by products of "The good life" are now creating a major problem for the adaptation and survival of most species and biosystems here on planet earth, and to compound the problem at the very moment when we need more than ever to adapt to a quickly changing and stressfull environment.

As a society we seem set on debilitating our body's natural ability to adapt by constantly forcing the environment to meet our whimsy whims and "needs" instead of vice versa. In Darwinian terms, this does not bode well for our species.

Rene Dubois , the humanist scientist said "This state of adaptedness gives a false sense of security because it does not have a lasting value and does not prepare for the future." Therefore, it seems that the best course for survival is to increase our adaptability to our environment, not the other way around. In other words, instead of leaning on pharmaceuticals or isolates from natural sources to improve our well being or to fight acne bacteria with chemicals it may be best to strengthen our body, our immune system, ourselves and cultivate a better rapport with nature's gifts instead of just exploiting whatever we cleverly isolate from nature in the laboratory, and this is where adaptogens can be of great importance.

Fortunately for us there is a class of biological remedies available that can help the body adapt better to its environment, whether that environment be one of many harmful chemical or simply one of rapid change. These nature's gifts are called adaptogens.

BIOBALM Helps Skin Withstand the Diverse Stresses of Today.

Increases the skin's resistance to adverse influences not by a specific action but by a wide range of biochemical factors by including an organic snail serum adaptogen, that scientific breakdown has discovered it is packed with enzymes, proteins, peptides, co-enzymes, trace elements (Copper, Zinc, Iron & Calcium) and complex sulfated acidic glyco (sugar) molecules, which act in synergy with the other natural ingredients incorporated in the balm to:

normalize dilation of capillaries that otherwise cause red blotches on the skin

stimulate an orderly release of fibrin which protects the fragile inner walls of the blood vessels and promotes unhindered blood flow

promote the formation of new healthy capillaries

induce the production of antimicrobial peptides on skin to destroy parasites, microbes, fungi and virus, without creating any bacterial resistance

enhances inter and intracellular communication thus regulating the orchestrated renewal, turnover and regeneration of all the structural components of healthy skin

regulate connective tissue breakdown by inhibiting or regulating enzymes

moderate skin inflammation through antioxidants and enzymatic dissolution of damaged proteins thereby supporting the immune system

trigger the regeneration of skin cells and the repair of injuries without aberrant scars

safely support your body’s innate ability to heal itself

intensively moisturize and naturally hydrate the skin from within by retaining water and enhancing the ability of your body to produce the water holding molecules in the skin matrix, the glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans that give skin elasticity, strength, resilience and the capacity to withstand pressure and over-stretching

Hyaluronic Acid is contained naturally in the snail serum but we add an additional quantity to our BIOBALM formulation for its capacity to hold 1000 times its weight in water and thus deeply enhance the moisturizing effects of the balm.

When you apply the balm, you will enjoy a level of skin protection and repair like no other product you have tried:

Protection from the effects of UV rays, environmental hazards, pollution, allergens and microorganisms. The regenerative properties in BIOBALM will reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, acne, Rosacea, skin roughness, stretch marks, rashes, dry skin, eczema, dermatitis, actinic keratosis and keloid scarring. When you use BIOBALM as your routine skin care regimen, this balm not only beautifies, it can relieve your worst skin care problems.

Let’s think back to a time when your skin was perfect. Think back to a time before the eczema, or before the dermatitis or the Rosacea. Think back to before you had those chicken pox scars, or those dry scales that itch and used to drive you crazy. Think back to a time before the scars left by your operation, the keloids or the keratosis. Think back before the redness, the roughness, the ruddiness, the age spots…are you there? THAT’s the skin you can get back with BIOBALM.

It is the healing properties of the snail serum in BIOBALM acting in synergy with the best natural ingredients available for the replenishment of the lipids in the skin barrier and for providing moisturize and retaining it which helps to beautify skin that has been ravaged by time, sun exposure, the elements, scar tissue, irritation from allergens and other contributing factors and bacterial and viral infections.

BIOBALM is the only natural skin care product that is NOT merely a concoction of chemical compounds and pharmaceuticals, but rather uses a substance found in Nature that is created by a living being expressly to moisturize protect and – here’s the important part – regenerate its skin.

For thousands of years people in Asia, Africa and South America have used extracts from plants, frog skin or snail secretions to promote healing of wounds, burns and skin infections. Recent advances in medical science have started to unlock the magic of these traditional methods of cure. Discoveries of biologically active peptides and proteins in snail body and mucins (Kubota Y et al., 1985) in frog skin (Zasloff, 1987) and in plants (Broekaert et al., 1995) explain the beneficial effects of these natural treatments. The bioactive peptides are extremely effective against a range of microbes and are therefore named antimicrobial peptides.

Staphylococcus Aureus and other bacteria are present on 90% of eczema cases. Bacteria binds more readily to skin that is inflamed & can make the eczema outbreak worse because of secretions called super-antigens. These allergy-inducing substances activate the immune cells in the skin, causing them to release substances that further increase inflammation. Controlling bacteria on the skin can help control the eczema.

The magic of nature is also part of our own skin defense system.
Mammals are born with antimicrobial peptides deployed as an important defense against microbial invasion (Gallo and Nizet, 2003). The skin is a protective interface between internal organs and the outside environment. It is exposed daily to thousands of potential pathogens, a host of toxins and physical stress. In order to face these challenges, skin epithelium functions as a physical barrier and has an active immunological role in the identification of microbes as well as in the production of cytokines and defense molecules such as antimicrobial peptides. The number of reports demonstrating the presence and upregulation of antimicrobial peptides in human skin is increasing and reflects the significance of these peptides in skin protection and treatment.

The fact that the snail glycoconjugates contains glycoproteins that kill bacteria and also naturally induces the expression of endogenous antimicrobial peptides that fight infection has been known for years and scientists have focused on replicating its bioactive molecules (by biosynthesis) in the laboratory. This is a promising new venue for research, creating effective drugs and patenting them, but bringing a drug to clinical trial is time consuming and expensive. It is estimated that it takes $300 million to bring a drug to market. This cost covers every thing from discovery, identification, synthesis and clinical trials. This process may also take 10 or more years to accomplish.

Discovered by keen observation and a fair dose of chance
Fortunately by chance a snail farm in Chile noticed that snail handlers had exceptionally smooth hands, and any cuts, scrapes or abrasions to their hands healed unusually quickly and without scars. By the same time a Doctor in Spain observed that snails secrete mucous when exposed to ionizing radiation (X ray and gamma radiation used for cancer radiotheraphy) and it protects them from degenerative effects.

Their curiosity led them to experiment with the substance on human skin, research on what's in it and clinical trials. They confirmed the substance yields scar free healing of injuries, cuts, scrapes and restores skin health after bruising caused by cancer radiation treatments and heals skin even after chemical burns. The formulation of a balm and the experience of thousands of people with skin ailings has allowed us to persevere in making the substance available naturally in the form of a non-prescription topical cream (for application on the skin).

The antibacterial factor of the snail mucus is a glycoprotein whose molecular weight (MW) is about 160,000. Comp Biochem Physiol C. 1985; 82(2):345-8. It kills both gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), but only in their growing states. Studies of the morphology of bacteria affected by the glycoprotein in the secretions have shown that it lengthens the bodies of Escherichia coli by three to seven times, damages the surface of Staphylococcus aureus and sinks its cytoplasmic membranes into the cytoplasm.

By blocking the microbial pathway to the blood stream, this biological complex allows your immune system to heal the damage in an environment similar to that in which a broken bone heals inside the body, thus avoiding costly scar treatments.

Treatment of Skin Irritations & Skin Infections Without the Pitfalls of Most Products

The balm helps to relieve the sympthoms of dryness, irritation, rosacea, acne, dermatitis, and eczema, and prevents infections of the skin without the pitfalls of pharmaceutical antibiotics or the side effects of harsh chemicals commonly found in topical skin products.

Skin Regeneration.
The biological ingredients in the balm also speeds cell regeneration. And it repairs lesions inflicted to the cells that line the sebum canals by sebum overflow or clogged pores. It regenerates skin afflicted by injuries due to accident, scratching, burns, surgery, dermabrasion, laser, or other causes. It dissolves plugged pores that block sebum outflow and "digests" excess keratin formations found in actinic keratosis and keratosis pilaris by the action of enzymes that break them down into their amino acid components.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), Antimicrobial Peptides & Skin Regenerating Triggers
The secretions of snails contains sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), present as protein-free strongly acidic polysaccharides.

GAGs, through their binding and regulation of a large number of ligands and receptors are important mediators of normal and tumor cell behavior, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, and adhesion. The specific structure of GAG chains and their binding proteins influence tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and cancer progression. GAGs such as heparin, heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid serve as key biological response modifiers by acting as (1) stabilizers, cofactors, and/or coreceptors for growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines; (2) regulators of enzyme activity; (3) signaling molecules in response to cellular damages, such as wound healing, infection, and tumorigenesis; (4) targets for bacterial, viral, and parasitic virulence factors for attachment, invasion, and immune system; (5) regulators of neurite outgrowth; and (6) anti-inflammatory agent that limits oxidative damage after tissue injury.

In the snail's body tissues GAGs are primarily located inside granules and in the shell, and are secreted onto the surface as a fluid viscose material. Snail glycosaminoglycan tightly binds divalent copper cations (Cu 2+) and form copper peptides, with skin regeneration properties. The concentration of copper in the snail mucins is notable, but copper peptides have been shown to be active in nanomolar amounts.

Regulation of overgrowth of cells in Keloids
The glycosaminoglycans tumor growth inhibitory activity and fibroblast growth factor regulation may explain why many of our customers who successfully used our product to treat keloid scars, have experienced a quick and significant reduction of keloids, relief from itching and pain and in many cases complete elimination of keloids.

Prevention and Amelioration of Sympthoms of Rosacea.
The cream applied to an area affected by rosacea has surprisingly had the effect of improving and diminishing the sympthoms of rosacea. Topical application has also helped to prevent outbreaks of rosacea sympthoms in people that use it regularly on their face.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by four distinct clinical stages predominantly affecting the central aspect of the face. The first evidence of rosacea is frequent and intense vasodilation or flushing. Most people progress to a vascular stage characterized by redness of the skin due to congestion of the capillaries (erythema) that can persist for hours or days after a triggering event. Many people remain stabilized at this stage while some progress to an inflammatory stage characterized by a symmetrical array of papules and pustules in addition to the persistent erythema. This stage can often become a chronic condition. A few people, mostly male, can progress to the final stage characterized by swelling or a distinctive hyperplasia (abnormal increase in the amount of cells), especially of the nose.

Rosacea skin care commonly involves topical or oral antibiotics such as metranidazole and compounds such as sulfacetamide, sulfur, and azeliec acid. However, these and other treatments for rosacea are all accompanied by various side effects, are costly, and/or involve long complicated treatment protocols. BIOBALM can relieve Rosacea sympthoms by itself and is also useful with other rosacea treatments as it relieves their undesired side effects.

Regulation of Activity of Cathelicidin Peptides that may Trigger Sympthoms of Rosacea.
Dr. Richard Gallo, chief of dermatology, University of California, San Diego, and colleagues have recently concluded that a natural substance that is part of the body's innate immune system appears to have a role in producing the papules (bumps) and pustules (pimples) of rosacea.  (Study funded by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) to uncover potential causes and other key aspects of the disorder during the Fifth Annual Rosacea Research Workshop, 2004, held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology).

He noted that the body produces peptides to defend itself from viruses, fungi and bacteria, and speculates that certain peptides known as cathelicidins may be triggered too easily in rosacea patients. The level of the protective cathelicidins was 200 percent to 300 percent higher in rosacea patients, he found. While many types of bacteria may trigger the formation of cathelicidins, he said, they appear to be particularly sensitive to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which has been linked with rosacea in some studies.

The researchers have also noticed that while the peptide is inactive when it is first made on the skin surface, enzymes in sweat cause it to become active. They concluded that cathelicidins may stimulate the production of bumps and pimples in rosacea, possibly in connection with H. pylori and other bacterial triggers.

Interestingly the GAGs is the snail mucus play a role in regulating the activity and expression of those endogenous peptides and act as important defense molecules against rapidly growing bacteria. This may explain testimonials of customers that have lost or kept down the redness caused by rosacea or eczema by using the balm.

Regulation of Blood Vessel Growth in Rosacea.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a regulator of blood vessel growth that may be associated with sun exposure, is highly expressed in the sebaceous glands of people with rosacea according to Dr. Thiboutot (Fifth Annual Rosacea Research Workshop, 2004). She noted that previous research has found VEGF may be involved in the formation of visible blood vessels in rosacea, and that rosacea patients may therefore be especially sensitive to sunlight.

In an ongoing study, researchers demonstrated that neuropeptides -- substances produced by nerves or other cells in the skin -- and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation (found in sunlight) appear to induce the expression of VEGF. Dr. Richard Granstein, chairman of dermatology at Cornell University, reported that small amounts of UVB, the type of sunlight that causes sunburn, appear to increase VEGF expression in endothelial cells -- that is, cells that line blood vessels.

In addition, UVB caused an increase in interleukin 8, which plays a role in inflammation. The peptide somatostatin, however, had an inhibiting effect on interleukin and on VEGF production in certain skin cells known as keratinocytes. The relationship to rosacea is still being explored.

Research done in 2003 has noted that in culture of human vascular endothelial cells, snail GAGs at 10 and 100 micro g ml(-1) inhibited VEGF-induced capillary tube formation. These findings suggest that the inhibitory effect of the snail GAGs on the formation of new cappilaries networks from pre-existing blood vessels is due to the inhibition of excessive VEGF-induced vascular tube formation without affecting its production. This may explain reports of rosacea sufferers that have found relief by applying the balm twice a day on the areas affected and others who have used it to prevent further rosacea outbreaks.

Heals Dermatitis Caused by Exposure to Ionizing Radiotherapy for Cancer - Radiodermatitis
An in depth investigation conducted in Spain, in 2000 and 2001, studied the effects of snail secretion in the topical treatment of radiodermatitis, and confirmed the presence of antioxidant and fibroblast growth factor activity in the snail secretion and its excellent results to prevent and treat radiodermatitis when applied to patients undergoing ionizing radiation therapy for the control of malignant cells.

Results show the presence of antioxidant activities in the snail secretion: enzymatic as superoxide dismutase (SOD), conjugation enzymes as glutathione-S-transferase and low molecular weight antioxidants. The antioxidant activities of the secretion can inhibit or impair the proliferation of free radicals which can stop the domino effect of spreading cellular reactions.

The study also shows, without doubt, the presence of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGB) like activity with a cell protection function. The secretion improves cellular function and the natural regenerative processes of the skin matrix, making skin healthier and stronger. At the same time, the degradation of damaged proteins brought about by the enzymes in the secretion offers an addition to the antioxidants in protecting the skin from inflammatory agents. And moisture holding molecules in the secretion return skin moisture, comforting dry skin brought by ionizing radiation.

Clears acne scars
BIOBALM ™ eliminates dead cells by enzymatic dissolution, destroys pathogens, heals and triggers the regeneration of damaged skin tissues.

Once inside the follicle the bio-active compound in BIOBALM will stimulate the formation of new elastic cells, collagen and pigment, filling in scar cavities. It will also shrink and dissolve the old fibrous collagen formed to repair damaged tissues. Soon new 'invisible' hair, known as lanugo, will come through the restored hair follicles in those areas. It will also "pump" up the cells and the "ground substances" in the skin. That also reduces wrinkles on the surface of the skin.

The secret of BIOBALM™ is not only that it provides the normal ingredients which may be deficient in the skin, but also restores the skin renewal process by stimulating the germinal cells. The result is a healthier appearance of the skin with more thickness, a normal skin color, normal skin texture and normal skin tissue turgor.

BIOBALM™ means clearer skin – skin you can touch, skin you can kiss, skin you are not ashamed to show the world, whether you’re out shopping, in a business meeting, at school or at the beach. You can use BIOBALM with confidence, knowing it is made with healthful snail serum along with all-natural ingredients designed to replenish the moisture barrier of your skin. BIOBALM is fragrance-free and contains all natural preservatives.

BIOBALM also helps in the quick recovery of healthy skin after procedures such as laser surgery, microdermabrasion or chemical peels.

BIOBALM speeds skin renewal.
After a wound, lesion or inflammatory response has occurred to the skin, both skin cells and connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) begin multiplying to repair the damage. The fibroblasts form a framework upon which the skin cells can migrate into and fill in the wound.

It is the balance between the rate of replication of fibroblasts versus skin cells that is IMPORTANT here. If the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, they can form a dense network that is not as easily penetrated by the skin cells and that results in a large thick scar.
