Fast-acting hydrocolloid patches with BHB for post-shave skin healing

Technology
Conceptual
Company

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.

Overview

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.

Technical specifications

Key features:

  • Beta-Hydroxybutyric Acid (BHB): A naturally occurring ketone body with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and humectant properties that promote skin healing and reduce irritation.
  • Hydrating polymers: Hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid are renowned for their ability to retain moisture, improve skin texture, and provide soothing effects.
  • Synergistic formulation: Combines the bioactive properties of BHB with hydrating polymers for a dual-action approach that addresses multiple post-shave skin concerns.
Technology readiness level

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.
