MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 13 TN-Theraplex-awarded
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Eczema Association
(NEA) awarded its Seal of Acceptance to Theraplex Emollient and Theraplex
Clear Lotion.
The NEA Seal of Acceptance is part of the association's Eczema &
Sensitive-Skin Education (EASE) program, which is intended to improve the
quality of life for children and adults who suffer from eczema and sensitive
skin.
"These products met our criteria for having no irritating ingredients and
being suitable for pediatric patients with eczema," said Julie Block, National
Eczema Association vice president. "Our Review Panel members considered the
clinical studies carefully and some even sampled the products themselves.
Theraplex received an EASE rating of 5 out of 5 possible points because these
products do not contain known irritants to eczema or sensitive skin at any
level."
With the NEA's Seal of Acceptance, these Theraplex products are now
included in the easeeczema.org website, which educates eczema sufferers and
caregivers about products that can improve skin health and quality of life.
"We are very proud of this special designation because it recognizes our
products' effectiveness in restoring the skin's moisture -- a daily battle for
the 10 percent of children in the U.S. who suffer from eczema and their
parents," said Michael Pietrangelo, Managing Partner of The Theraplex Company,
LLC. "Clinical studies have shown that Theraplex prevents or stops the vicious
cycle of persistent dry skin by delivering moisture deep into the epidermis,
restoring skin health so it can resist moisture loss."
"To keep skin moist, pediatric eczema patients encounter moisturizers
containing fragrances or allergy-triggering fillers and additives," explained
Pietrangelo. "Our products are hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic and fragrance
free, making them ideal for children."
Theraplex moisturizers combine an enriched special petrolatum fraction
developed by Swiss scientist, Dr. H.R. Suess, with a unique hydrosilicone
delivery system. This process eliminates 82 percent of the greasiness
associated with petrolatum while maintaining superior moisturizing and skin
protectant properties. As a result, Theraplex moisturizers penetrate deep into
the skin where moisture is needed most.
Theraplex moisturizers are sold at drug stores, but not in the retail
section. They are available from pharmacists behind the pharmacy counter at
stores such as Walgreens, Rite-Aid, CVS, Costco and independent pharmacies. Or
order online at www.Theraplex.com. No prescription necessary. Samples are
available free to pediatricians.
