Researchers Discover That Sea Whip Extract Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties

November 06, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Researchers SA Look, W. Fenical, RS Jacobs and J. Clardy reported through the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America that sea whip's pseudopterosins have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties when topically applied to the skin. At the same time, Ryan and Jill Cote of http://www.ChinaDollSkin.com have investigated skin care solutions themselves and decided to form a partnership with Tiffany Lauren® to provide a natural solution for sensitive and dry skin with the Ultra Gentle Sensitive Skin Care System.

Sea whip extract, formally known as pseudopterogorgia elisabethae, is actually a soft coral that is found in the Caribbean. Clinical studies have shown that the components in sea whip can be used to reduce inflammation and redness, contribute toward cellular repair and even have analgesic, pain reducing qualities that are useful for treating sunburns, cuts and minor irritations to the skin. The Calming Bio-Lipid Repair Cream distributed through ChinaDollSkin.com as part of the Tiffany Lauren® Ultra Gentle Sensitive Skin Care System contains sea whip, which has very strong soothing properties for sensitive, irritated skin.

The pseudopterosins found in sea whip extract are considered to be a newly described class of natural products, which have been characterized as diterpene-pentoseglycosides. These pseudopterosins in sea whip have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that are considered to exceed the potencies of existing drugs such as indomethacin in this clinical study.

The Calming Bio-Lipid Repair Cream available through ChinaDollSkin.com revives skin and provides instant comfort as it helps to direct the repair of the skin's protective barrier down deep, where damage actually begins. This incredible cream is part of the Tiffany Lauren® Ultra Gentle Skin Care System, which also contains a Calming Bio-Lipid Repair Cream, Calming Bio-Lipid Repair Fluid, Instant Calm Ultra Complex, Oil-Free Hydrating Fluid, Ultra-Gentle Cleansing Gel, Ultra-Gentle Cleansing Lotion and Ultra-Gentle Eye Cream. A convenient selection of five trial sizes of these products is also available in the Ultra-Gentle Starting Over Tote.
