Chemical Friendly Skin Care for You & Your Dog

Products Made for Even the Most Sensitive Skin

At any point in time, around 15% of the population in the UK – people and pets – suffer from eczema, dermatitis and other ‘problem’ skin conditions. The causes are many and varied and can be from:

• indoor airborne allergens such as dust mites, pets and moulds
• contact allergens such as pesticides and chemical ingredients in cosmetics, cleaners or toiletries
• foods or even sources including stress, antibiotics, hormones and certain bacteria.

Trying to identify what causes your skin problems is important, so these sources can be avoided. In the short term, after a reaction, you need therapeutic skincare products that do not contain known irritants to soothe, repair and moisturise damaged skin and prevent secondary infections.

Bio-Life International specialises in formulating natural skincare solutions for people and pets that are prone to irritation and the secondary bacterial and fungal infections associated with them.

Natural Solutions that Tackle Skin Care in People & Pets

Skincare problems in people are characterised by redness, swelling, itching, irritation, inflammation and scar tissue. For example in psoriasis, skin cells proliferate rapidly causing skin thickening that is disfiguring and mentally distressing to the sufferer. The symptoms in dogs are similar but are also associated with ear infections and perennial paw chewing.

The ingredients in the Bio-Life MediCleanse® range are designed to tackle these issues while cleansing, exfoliating, nourishing and moisturising. We select the gentlest natural cleansers that we can find. Currently those are based on glucose and coconut oil that are suitable even for babies and young puppies. The addition of willow bark extract, containing salycilic acid, is a natural exfoliant that removes dead cells, scar tissue and of course numbs pain.

Leleshwa, harvested in the Rift Valleys of Kenya, is one of nature’s most potent antimicrobials and proven effective against the majority of common bacteria, fungi and viruses that take advantage of damaged skin. The skin is further protected by the lactic acid and lichen extracts of Bio-Life MediCleanse® products, proven to relieve discomfort and irritation.

Unique Formulations for Proven & Safe Results

At Bio-Life our formulators know only too well that many ingredients are innocent because they have not been proven guilty, so we regularly screen safety data and modify the ingredients in our products accordingly.

All products from Bio-Life International are tested for efficacy prior to launch. Most importantly, we guarantee you transparency and are always willing to learn from your experiences and act upon them. We value all feedback, so please let us know your experiences.
