Unmet Need: Simple anti-aging cream for peri and post menopausal women

Aging of the skin results in a decline in skin health and can lead to dryness, wrinkles, dark spots, and decreased effectiveness of the skin barrier. Current methods to improve skin health in older women include anti-aging creams to multi-step skin routines. Thus, available treatments require multiple products, are costly, and may cause negative side effects such as irritation, rashes, redness, or burning.

The Technology: All-in-one facial moisturizer for total skin health improvement in peri and post menopausal women

This technology is an all-in-one face cortisone-free moisturizer that targets wrinkles, dark spots, and overall skin hydration. It includes anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant natural ingredients such as tea tree extract, essential oils, vitamin C, and tranexamic acids. The hydrogel works as a skin barrier and allows for further penetration of the moisturizer and oils. Thus, this technology provides an easy-to-use facial cream with natural botanicals for skin health improvement in peri and post menopausal women.
