Currently, the stratum corneum is regarded as a “wall”, the “brick” consists of corneocytes and “mortar” lamellar lipid membrane. Since it

appears that disturbances in the function of the barrier play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of irritable eczema, atopic dry skin and

aging skin, should be the primary goal improve the function of skin lipid barrier in these diseases. DMS (Derma Membrane Structure) technology

is a unique patented process by which is prepared cream absolutely neutral, imitating the lamellar structure of the stratum corneum

as lipid content as well as the lamellar structure, and does not irritate stratum corneum, because of its similarity to the lipid layer of the stratum

corneum. The lamellar structure is formed using a substance forming lamellar gel structure – hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine when

a large amount of energy supply ultrasonic homogenization or high pressure (50 000–250 000 kPa). Hydration of the skin persists long time

after the end of the application of DMS technology prepared preparations in contrast to oil/water or water/oil creams containing emulsifiers.
