Innovative patches combining Beta-Hydroxybutyric Acid (BHB) with hydrating polymers to enhance post-shave skin recovery, offering superior hydration, reduced inflammation, and skin barrier repair.
Fast-acting hydrocolloid patches developed by Ex Seed utilize the synergistic effects of Beta-Hydroxybutyric Acid (BHB) and hydrating polymers like hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid. These patches are designed to enhance post-shave skin recovery by providing excellent hydration, reducing inflammation, and supporting skin barrier repair. This innovative formulation tackles common post-shave skin issues such as razor burns, dryness, and irritation, outperforming conventional products by accelerating skin healing and enhancing overall skin health.
Key features:
The development of these hydrocolloid patches is at Technology Readiness Level 3, meaning that the concept has been proven analytically and experimentally in a laboratory setting. Future validation includes in vitro testing on cell lines, ex vivo studies on human skin explants, and clinical trials to further assess safety, efficacy, and performance.
