All of MARIOL preparations form a compact series of the basic baby skin care. The preparations do not contain any colouring agents, preserving agents or parfumes. The basic functional component of all of the above-mentioned preparations is oil from Milk thistle seeds. This oil contains the whole series of biologically significant substances in the optimum ratios. Those are especially so-called polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid which belongs to the group of “Omega-6 fatty acids”. These substances take part directly in skin cells structure, but also in production of the substances beneficial for body which accelerate healing processes and participate in processes preventing inflammatory cutaneous manifestation occurrence and development. The substances contained in the Milk thistle oil have a significant antioxidant potential, which protects skin from harmful effects of the outer environment such as for example so-called free radicals, ozone and other aggressive components of polluted air.
Besides that the Milk thistle oil has a natural protective factor towards ultraviolet radiation, so it partially protects baby’s skin from excessive sunbathing effects. The convenient choice of additional substances in the preparation and of natural substances contained in the oil ensures fast and effective absorption of the active components in deep skin layers where their effect is desired the most.
