What is Corneotherapy?

Corneotherapy is a scientific approach to caring for and treating skin; and is widely acknowledged as the future of skin care.

Focused on skin health and preservation, Corneotherapy prioritises the repair and maintenance of your skins natural barrier function.

The skins natural barrier function consists of 3 very important components of the skin;

1. the microbiome - which is the healthy bacteria on the skin surface.

2. the acid mantle - slightly acidic delicate film from the skins water and oil components maintaining healthy skin barrier.

3. the stratum corneum - the top layer of the epidermis (skin) that is in contact with the environment.

Maintaining the integrity of your skins natural barrier function, and keeping the skin in a state of homeostasis (the balance of physiological processes that keep the skin healthy) prevents various skin ailments.

In turn, returning your skin to homeostasis promotes the repair and health of skin cells, and gives rise to healthier skin.

Corneotherapy & Skincare

Corneotherapy is closely linked to Corneobiology, which studies the physiological, biological, and biochemical processes of your skin’s outer most layer, the stratum corneum.

Corneotherapeutic skin care is designed to be compatible with your skins natural functions, to restore and support skin health.

Prologic Skincare strictly follows the principles of Corneotherapy, and our skincare therefore does not contain known ingredients that can be detrimental to the skin barrier or health of your skin cells; including avoiding common preservatives, emulsifiers, silicones, fragrances, and colors.
