A shielding lotion is an alternative to conventional moisturizing lotions and protective creams. The primary function of the outer layer of skin is to prevent irritants from penetrating while still allowing the skin to breathe. Common household products, harsh soaps and antibacterial agents strip the natural oils and moisture from the skin. As a result it becomes more susceptible to irritants penetrating and stripping out even more moisture and oils. Conventional lotions don't really solve the problem because they constantly come off and must be frequently reapplied.

Skin MD Natural™ becomes part of the outer layer of skin to restore this natural function. Skin MD Natural™ is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield.

It helps damaged skin by preventing moisture-robbing irritants from entering its deeper layers, while the proprietary "super" humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day.

Until now no other humectant drew in as much moisture from the air as glycerin. But the proprietary formulation in Skin MD Natural™ has a moisturizing factor of at least 6 times greater than glycerin.

Skin MD Natural is over 93% "natural" which is well within the highest echelon of actual percentage of natural ingredients of all products that have the word "natural" on their label.

• Chamomile - is antiinflammatory, antiseptic, carminative, antispasmodic and sedative activity in addition to promoting wound healing
• Aloe Vera - improves the skin's ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin.
• Comfrey has an ancient reputation as a wound-healer.
• Arnica is an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and pain reliever, it minimizes the effect of tissue trauma and aids in the healing process.
• Yarrow is bleeding-stopper, astringent (makes tissue contract), antiseptic (inhibits bacterial growth), vulnerary (helps tissue heal), anti-inflammatory, and possibly anesthetic.

The ingredients in Skin MD Natural that are not "natural" are of food or medical grade and on FDA's most safe list.
