Is Coloplast Canada’s Best All-Around Skin Care Brand?

As Canada’s go-to resource for ostomy supplies, we sell a lot of Coloplast products. And while the brand most certainly has a diverse offering, we have seen significant general consumer interest for their line of skin care solutions. This actually comes as no surprise, as over the last 5 years Canadians have become more educated on health and wellness products than ever before, especially in the skin care spectrum. They no longer look to the brands that spend millions of dollars per annum on TV ads. Instead, they look to those who choose to invest in science in order to deliver the public with dedicated formulas that address specific concerns. These skin care concerns may include redness, roughness, flakiness, and itchiness in addition to persistent dryness and irritation. Many Canadians suffer from a combination of these, and some symptoms are linked to identified skin disorders. As a result, InnerGood Canada has stepped up to increase our offering of Coloplast skin care products. But before you start shopping, we encourage you to learn more about what makes the Coloplast brand an essential addition to your medicine cabinet.

Why Canada Turns to Coloplast for Advanced Protection Against Skin Disorders and for the Maintenance of Healthy Skin

Coloplast Understands the Science Behind Healthy Skin

Most of the skin care products on the shelves of your local cosmetic retailer focus on delivering smooth skin. That’s important, but what they do not communicate (nor often consider in their formulas) are the varying purposes of the seven vital layers that make up your skin. Collectively they provide for the following:

• Protection – Protects your body and internal organs from injury, and serves as a barrier to germs and infection.
• Temperature regulation – Regulates your body temperature, keeping water inside your body.  In addition, it cools your body through perspiration (sweating) as needed.
• Secretion – sweat glands in your skin produce oil to lubricate your skin which help to keep it healthy.
• Sensation – Allows you to feel heat, cold, pain, and touch, which dictate a number of actions and reactions required for survival, pleasure, and general well-being. 

Coloplast skin care formulas work to ensure that these essential functions are protected and enhanced for optimal health. Enjoying smooth, warm, and glowing skin is just a fantastic side effect.

Coloplast Provides Optimal Products for General Skin Care

There are key steps required for the general maintenance of healthy skin, and each requires a skin care solution. These include the following:

• Washing – Experts recommend the application of a mild, pH-balanced skin cleanser. Avoid harsh bar soaps and antimicrobial hand-washing soaps. Coloplast Gentle Rain Extra Mild Wash and Gentle Rain Extra Mild Cleanser are ideal solutions.
• Moisturizing – Moisturizing (after washing) your skin is the optimal way to avoid skin concerns such as cracking, pain, itching and tears. Experts suggest using products made with fewer ingredients, as doing so mitigates the likelihood of skin irritation and allergic reactions. Coloplast Sween Lotion is a preferred moisturizing solution for the hands and body, whereas Sween Cream is an amazing body moisturizer that prevents dry skin.
• Routine Maintenance – It’s important to monitor your skin every day. While concerns about changes in colourd, size and shape of moles must be addressed by your physician, there are steps you can take by keeping a moisturizing solution on hand throughout the day. If you notice peeling, cracked or dry skin, a tube of Coloplast Sween Lotion will come to the rescue. Always keep it with you.

Coloplast Provides Dedicated Products for Skin Disorders

As alluded to in the introduction, millions of Canadians experience dry and/or irritated skin, while hundreds of thousands live with more impactful skin conditions. Coloplast addresses these disorders with its line of skin care products. Below we have detailed certain skin conditions that Coloplast has proven to be very successful in addressing, complete with the recommended products.

Intertrigo

Intertrigo is a rash that develops in a skin fold. We recommended Coloplast products: Bedside-Care Foam and InterDry.

Excessive Dry Skin

For excessively dry, scaly, and/or cracked skin, we recommend Coloplast AtracTain and follow-up with Critic-Aid Clear for a protected skin barrier. Once dry skin is manageable, keep moisturized with Coloplast Sween Lotion.

Pressure Ulcers

A pressure ulcer is localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue that typically occurs when the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis is compressed between bone and external hard surfaces. It is a common condition experienced by bed or wheelchair ridden people. Bedside-Care Foam is highly recommended, as is Critic-Aid Clear to provide a protective skin barrier. Also include Baza Cleanse & Protect with your purchase.

Incontinence Related Skin Ailments

Difficulty or inability to control one’s bladder or bowel often results in skin damage around impacted areas. Combine Bedside-Care Foam and Critic-Aid Clear for optimal prevention and ongoing care.
