DEFENSIL^®-PURE is a water-based, fermented millet extract that is produced in very much the same way as sourdough bread. Designed for especially dry skin, it
hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier. It is suitable for use on atopic skin and promotes a healthy skin microbiota.

Very dry atopic skin suffers constantly from physical damage and a weakened skin barrier. This opens the door for bacteria entering deeper layers of the stratum corneum that can cause adverse inflammatory reactions by activating the inflammasome. Persistently inflamed, dry skin and rashes are the consequences.

Clinical studies have shown that DEFENSIL^®-PURE protects atopic skin against further damage and quickly reseals the skin barrier. It effectively rehydrates
dry skin and improves the appearance of skin.

In-vitro studies have demonstrated that the postbiotic ingredients of DEFENSIL^®-PURE are able to effectively inhibit the activation of the inflammasome.
DEFENSIL^®-PURE promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria on the skin surface and has the potential to supplant undesirable microorganisms. A healthy
microbiota will keep the host’s skin in good shape and ensure it maintains a suitable balance. An analysis of the fermented millet extract revealed that fermentation
results in a greater release of important minerals in comparison with plain millet extract.
