BIOBALM FOR ROSACEA TREATMENTRosacea Treatment Balm = Biological Healing & Soothing Restoration

This is a balm made with a natural compound that performs as a biological antimicrobial, inflammatory-moderator, antioxidant, moisturizer & trigger of scarless healing & skin regeneration. Restores healthy skin, naturally!


The breakthrough natural rosacea and skin treatment compound is embodied in BIOBALM.

 

An organic healing balm based on the ability of a biological serum, packed with enzymes, proteins, peptides, co-enzymes, trace elements (Copper, Zinc, Iron & Calcium) and complex sulfated acidic glyco (sugar) molecules to:

  • normalize dilation of capillaries that otherwise cause dark red blotches on the skin
  • stimulate an orderly release of fibrin which protects the fragile inner walls of the blood vessels and promotes unhindered blood flow
  • promote the formation of new healthy capillaries
  • induce the production of antimicrobial peptides on skin to destroy parasites, microbes, fungi and virus, without creating any bacterial resistance
  • regulate connective tissue breakdown by inhiting or regulating enzymes
  • moderate skin inflammation through antioxidants and enzymatic dissolution of damaged proteins thereby supporting the immune system
  • trigger the regeneration of skin cells and the repair of injuries without aberrant scars
  • safely support your body’s innate ability to heal itself
  • intensively moisturize and naturally hydrate the skin from within by enhancing the ability of your body to produce the water holding molecules in the skin matrix, those that give skin elasticty, strength, resilience and the capacity to withstand pressure and over-stretching

  • The Discovery
    BIOBALM is not a pharmaceutical, drug or medicine. The primary biological ingredient in BIOBALM cream is a serum, a liquid or fluid that supports the immune system of a little creature with skin very much like human skin. In biology a "serum" is a liquid with the capcity to transfer immunity to a diiferent host.

     

    It is the fluid that land snails secrete to protect their bodies from the sun and the elements. The amazing substance the snail secretes shields its exposed skin from the sun’s rays, and keeps the snail’s skin moist, strong and hydrated.


    This restorative fluid not only protects the snail’s skin from harm, it actually helps the snail regenerate its own shell if it is ever crushed or broken. The secretion also has antimicrobial properties to help protect the snail from bacteria. As a result, snails never suffer from skin infections – can you imagine?


    Due to the remarkable similarities in the structure of human and snail skin, snail serum is 100% compatible with human skin. That means no allergic reactions, no burning, no redness – BIOBALM is completely safe to use, even on a newborn baby. This compatibility also means that the benefits the snail receives from its own serum can now be experienced by YOU. When you apply the balm, you will enjoy a level of skin protection and repair like no other product you have tried:


    Protection from the effects of UV rays, environmental hazards, pollution and microorganisms. The regenerative properties in BIOBALM’s snail balm will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, scars, acne, Rosacea, skin roughness, stretch marks, rashes, dry skin, eczema, actinic keratosis and keloid scarring. When you use BIOBALM as your routine skin care regimen, this balm not only beautifies, it can relieve your worst skin care problems. BIOBALM is truly Nature’s Gift for Healthy Skin.

    Let’s think back to a time when your skin was perfect. Think back to a time before the acne, or before the Rosacea. Think back to before you had those chicken pox scars, or those stretch marks from carrying that beautiful baby of yours. Think back to a time before the scars left by your operation, the keloids or the keratosis. Think back before the wrinkles, the ruddiness, the age spots…are you there? THAT’s the skin you can get back with BIOBALM.

    Many happy BIOBALM users are familiar with that desperate feeling of agonizing over relentless skin conditions. Thousands of people just like you have written to us telling us how their scars are fading, breakouts are diminishing and skin texture is improving with the regular use of BIOBALM, as you may read below or at our testimonials link on the top menu.


    Rosacea skin care
    Your product truly delivers what it says it can do. I have never found anything, and I tried ALOT of things as I have rosacea, that could heal my face as well and quickly as your product. I had doubts when I first purchased it, but it has definitely performed, and so beautifully, above and beyond my expectations!! Send me some more! Karen Gensheim. IN, USA.


    Rosacea & cystic acne
    I have Rosacea, and I used to control it just by using an Alpha Hydroxy wash.  The problem is that if I ever go on vacation without the wash or something, and get a flair up, I have a lot of trouble getting it down.  Also, I think my rosacea may have gotten worse over time. Anyway, I had cystic acne on my cheeks that had been more or less consistent for months, as well as nasty little nose spots.  Once I started using the rosacea cream, it got much better.  In fact, I can notice a difference just overnight if the problem is surface irritation and not well below the surface.  For instance, I have one cyst now, and it hurts, but if it ever gets to the surface, I am sure the cream will help me. I was pretty skeptical, and my friends make fun of my paying a lot for snail slime, but it seems to work well for me. Tracy Larrabee, California.


    Clear acne red marks
    The balm has really helped in clearing up the red marks left behind from prior acne breakouts. Thank goodness!! Bonnie Mannino. NJ, USA.

    Rosacea & Spider Veins
    I have clear skin for the first time since before I was a teenager. I'm now 41. Hardly any wrinkles at all, everyone asks what my secret is. It works great for the rosacea, keeps the redness down and seems to help the spider veins. This product keeps it's word. I will advise my sister to try it.  D. Lewis. AL, USA.


    Keloids
    I have been treated for keloids on my chest for over 25 years with no success. I have two keloids that have growned from the size of a pimple to over three and five inches long. In fact they look like large fingers setting on my chest. A second keloid is one inch. I am on my second bottle of your product and very pleased. The one inch keloid has disappeared. The other two no longer itch, and I have peeled away several layers of dead skin. I only wish that I took before and after pictures. The change is very dramatic. Frank McBride. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.


    Acne Scars
    I have been using the balm for less than a month now and my acne scars are dramatically improving. It is also keeping my face clear consistently. I am going to keep using this product for ever. Thank you so much Paul, Tucson AZ.


    Treatment for rosacea
    Thought I would let you know that after using BIOBALM for two months the rhinophyma (acne rosacea) on my nose is now impossible to see but I can still feel a bit of it. My nose now looks like it did before I got the first rhinophyma in 1999. What is more my brother reports from New Zealand that after only two weeks his nose, which is much worse than mine, has lost much of its redness and this is only after two weeks use. I have been using the product for two months. The acne scars on my forehead have reduced dramatically and can now be concealed with only the Jane Iredale mineral powder. No longer need the camouflage cream. I put a mention of this on the Femail board yesterday because that is where I discovered your product. I will also drop a line to my dermatologist. Dorothea Glover. England.


    This product is amazing.... Most of the acne I experience comes from stress. Before using BIOBALM, it would take months before the acne would heal, now it takes less than a week. I also suffer from a rare skin disorder called “granuloma annulare” which is triggered by birth control. BIOBALM is much more effective than any prescription a Doctor had given me to treat the skin disorder. Teri Moore. WI, USA.


    Post Surgery Keloid scars
    I had an upper right pulmonary lobectomy on 9/10/01 ; and, subsequently developed four small (1/2' or less) and one large (4') keloids on the chest wall on the right side of my rib cage and another small (1/2') one on my back. In about a year they became prominent keloids. Being African American and no stranger to keloids I took it in stride (conventional medical wisdom is that nothing can be done). But when they became painful; despite my being a fitness enthusiast and working out every day. Your cream has significantly reduced all of them, especially the larger one. David Starks. New York.


    Scar Tissue
    I know that BIOBALM helps me. The front of my nose is all scar tissue; and BIOBALM has faded the scar to the point that it is just a shadow now. I met a new girl the other night because now I can go out without worry. God Bless your little snails... Adam B.  California, USA.

     

    Dramatic Difference in Mild Acne Rosacea

    "Hi, I have suffered from mild Acne Rosacea for 4 years. This is my third order, your cream has made a dramatic difference to my skin! My scaring has toned down and I suffer from less redness and pimples, should I be using any other products from your range? Kind regards, Shelley from Sydney, Australia"


    It is the healing properties of the snail serum in BIOBALM which helps to beautify skin that has been ravaged by time, sun exposure, the elements, scar tissue, irritation from allergens and other contributing factors and bacterial and viral infections.

     

    BIOBALM is the only natural skin care product that is NOT a concoction of chemical compounds and pharmaceuticals, but rather uses a substance found in Nature that is created by a living being expressly to moisturize protect and – here’s the important part – regenerate its skin.

     

    For thousands of years people in China, Africa and South America have used extracts from plants, frog skin or snail secretions to promote healing of cutaneous wounds, burns and infectious diseases. Recent advances in medical science have started to unlock the magic of these traditional methods of cure.

     

    Discoveries of biologically active peptides and proteins in snail body and mucins (Kubota Y et al., 1985) in frog skin (Zasloff, 1987) and in plants (Broekaert et al., 1995) explain the beneficial effects of these treatments. These bioactive peptides are extremely effective against a range of microbes and are therefore named antimicrobial peptides.


    The magic of nature is also part of our own skin defense system.
    Mammals are born with antimicrobial peptides deployed as an important defense against microbial invasion (Gallo and Nizet, 2003). The skin is a protective interface between internal organs and the outside environment. It is exposed daily to thousands of potential pathogens, a host of toxins and physical stress. In order to face these challenges, skin epithelium functions as a physical barrier and has an active immunological role in the identification of microbes as well as in the production of cytokines and defense molecules such as antimicrobial peptides. The number of reports demonstrating the presence and upregulation of antimicrobial peptides in human skin is increasing and reflects the significance of these peptides in skin protection and treatment.


    The fact that the snail glycoconjugates contains glycoproteins that kill bacteria and also naturally induces the expression of endogenous antimicrobial peptides that fight infection has been known for years and scientists have focused on replicating its bioactive molecules (by biosynthesis) in the laboratory.

     

    This is a promising new venue for research and creating effective drugs, but bringing a drug to clinical trial is time consuming and expensive. It is estimated that it takes $300 million to bring a drug to market. This cost covers every thing from discovery, identification, synthesis and clinical trials. This process may also take 10 or more years to accomplish.


    Discovered by keen observation and a fair dose of chance
    Fortunately by chance a snail farm in Chile noticed that their snail handlers had exceptionally smooth hands, and any cuts or abrasions to their hands healed unusually quickly and without scars. By the same time a Doctor in Spain observed that snails secrete mucous when exposed to ionizing radiation (X ray and gamma radiation) and it protects them from degenerative effects.


    Their curiosity led them to experiment with the substance on human skin, research on what's in it and clinical trials. They confirmed the substance yields scar free healing of injuries, cuts, scrapes and restores skin health after bruising caused by cancer radiation treatments and heals skin even after chemical burns. The formulation of a balm and the experience with it of thusands of acne and rosacea sufferers and people with acne scars has allowed to persevere in making the substance available naturally in the form of a non-prescription topical cream (for application on the skin).


    The antibacterial factor of the snail mucus is a glycoprotein whose molecular weight (MW) is about 160,000. Comp Biochem Physiol C. 1985; 82(2):345-8. It kills both gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), but only in their growing states. Studies of the morphology of bacteria affected by the glycoprotein in the secretions have shown that it lengthens the bodies of Escherichia coli by three to seven times, damages the surface of Staphylococcus aureus and sinks its cytoplasmic membranes into the cytoplasm.


    By blocking the microbial pathway to the blood stream, this biological complex allows your immune system to heal the damage in an environment similar to that in which a broken bone heals inside the body, thus avoiding costly scar treatments.

     

    Regeneration of skin

    Link to Publication: Skin Regeneration . Copyright © 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel

     

    The research published on the January 2008 issue of the Journal of The International Society of Skin Pharmacology (founded in 2004) reports that the secretion of the snail Cryptomphalus Aspersa - more widely known by zoologists as Helix Aspersa Müller- possesses skin regenerative properties.

     

    For years the Spanish dermatologists and co-authors of the referenced study have been working as "Sherlock Holmes of the Skin" to analyze, compare and detect the molecular activities that may unveil the intricate skin-regenerative properties of the snail Cryptomphalus Aspersa - more widely known by zoologists as Helix Aspersa Müller. Several of their findings were reported in Dermatology Journals in Spain (1996-2001) and now they have been confirmed by colleagues in the USA.

     

    The secretion has superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) antioxidant activities as well as other multiple modes of antioxidant action, acting at the level of free radical production and also sequestering free radicals. It stimulates fibroblast proliferation and rearrangement of the dinamic structures of cells (actin cytoskeleton).

     

    Additional mechanisms involved in the regenerative effect of the mollusk's secretion include the stimulation of extracellular matrix assembly and the regulation of metalloproteinase activities, which limits the extent of the damage during wounding and scar formation.

     

    Together, these effects provide an array of molecular mechanisms underlying the secretion's induced cellular regeneration and support its use as a regenerative ingredient in skin care products.

     

    Skin Regeneration.
    The biological ingredient in our balm sppeds cell regeneration. When applied by people affected by acne it repairs damaged done to the cells that line the sebum canals by sebum overflow or due to clogged pores. It also regenerates skin afflicted by injuries due to accident, scratching, burns, surgery, dermabrasion, laser, or other causes. And it dissolves pluged pores that block sebum outflow and "digests" excess keratin formations by the action of enzymes that break them down into their amino acid components.


    Treatment of Rosacea & Skin Infections Without the Pitfalls of Most Products

    The balm made with the snail secretion helps to relieve the sympthoms of acne rosacea and prevents skin infection without the pitfalls of pharmaceutical antibiotics or the side effects of harsh chemicals or other skin care products.

     

    The National Rosacea Society surveyed 1,000 of their members, who identified alcohol, witch hazel, fragrance, menthol, peppermint oil, and eucalyptus as contributing to flare ups. It isn't always easy to identify those substances on a label when they are listed under the Latin names that are required by the FDA for ingredient labels. Moreover, there are many fragrance and other irritating skin-care ingredients out there.

     

    Rosacea can also be exacerbated by AHAs - Alpha Hydroxy Acids (though not for everyone). Medical experts stress that alpha-hydroxy acids, "Can cause intense and long-lasting facial redness in many rosacea sufferers." Glycolic acid and lactic acid of any strength are powerful irritants.

     

    Retin-A, Renova, Differin, exfoliants of any kind, including scrubs and washcloths, and clay-based facial masks are also troublesome. They are powerful irritants designed to remove part of the epidermis, or to irritate collagen in order to re-build the superficial dermis. Rosacea experts emphasize that these general qualities of anti-aging products are powerful triggers for rosacea flushing.

     

    Salicylic acid (A Beta Hydroxy Acid ) is a popular beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) used in facial cleansers, moisturizers, anti-acne products, and makeuphis but for rosacea sufferers it may be a two-edged sword - at the same time that it decreases inflammation around facial papules and pustules, it usually irritates facial skin and blood vessels. Salicylic acid's anti-inflammatory actions are solely due to its effect on the papule or pustule; it is not effective in decreasing the real rosacea inflammation (generalized facial redness, vascular hyper-reactivity, vascular damage, and swelling).

     

    It is widely known that strong topical steroids can cause or aggravate rosacea. There is now medical evidence indicating that mild, over-the-counter hydrocortisone (1%) can also cause or aggravate rosacea symptoms.

     

    The fewer products you use, the happier your rosacea-afflicted skin will be.

     

    Several lifestyle factors can make rosacea worse. These include hot liquids, spicy foods, exposure to extreme temperatures (including cooking over a hot stove), alcohol consumption, sunlight, stress, saunas, hot tubs, smoking, rubbing or massaging the skin, irritating cosmetics, and anything else that over-stimulates the skin and blood vessels.


    Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) Antimicrobial Peptides & Skin Regenerating Triggers
    The secretions of land snails contains sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), present as protein-free strongly acidic polysaccharides.


    GAGs, through their binding and regulation of a large number of ligands and receptors are important mediators of normal and tumor cell behavior, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, and adhesion. The specific structure of GAG chains and their binding proteins influence tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and cancer progression. GAGs such as heparin, heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid serve as key biological response modifiers by acting as (1) stabilizers, cofactors, and/or coreceptors for growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines; (2) regulators of enzyme activity; (3) signaling molecules in response to cellular damages, such as wound healing, infection, and tumorigenesis; and (4) targets for bacterial, viral, and parasitic virulence factors for attachment, invasion, and immune system, (5) regulators of neurite outgrowth, and (6) anti-inflammatory agent that limits oxidative damage after tissue injury.


    In the snail's body tissues GAGs are primarily located inside granules and in the shell, and are secreted onto the surface as a mucous material. Snail glycosaminoglycan tightly binds divalent copper cations (Cu 2+) and form copper peptides, with reportedly have skin regeneration properties. The concentration of copper in the snail mucins is notable, but copper peptides have been shown to be active in nanomolar amounts.


    Regulation of overgrowth of cells in Keloids
    The glycosaminoglycans tumor growth inhibitory activity and fibroplast growth factor regulation may explain why many of our customers who have used our product on keloid scars have experienced a significant reduction of them, reduced itching and pain and in many cases complete elimination of keloids.


    Prevention and Amelioration of Sympthoms of Rosacea.
    The cream applied to an area affected by rosacea has surprisingly had the effect of ameliorating or diminishing the signs and sympthoms of rosacea. Topical application has also helped to prevent outbreaks of rosacea sympthoms in people that use it regularly on their face.


    Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by four distinct clinical stages predominantly affecting the central aspect of the face. The first evidence of rosacea is frequent and intense vasodilation or flushing.

    Most people progress to a vascular stage characterized by redness of the skin due to congestion of the capillaries (erythema) that can persist for hours or days after a triggering event. Many people remain stabilized at this stage while some progress to an inflammatory stage characterized by a symmetrical array of papules and pustules in addition to the persistent erythema. This stage can often become a chronic condition. A few people, mostly male, can progress to the final stage characterized by swelling or a distintive hyperplasia (abnormal increase in the amount of cells), especially of the nose. Rosacea is a very visible condition that has a high impact on the quality of life of the bearer.

    Rosacea care commonly involves topical or oral antibiotics such as metranidazole and compounds such as sulfacetamide, sulfur, and azeliec acid. However, these and other treatments for skin rosacea are all accompanied by various side effects, are costly, and/or involve long complicated treatment protocols. BIOBALM can be used with other treatments for rosacea to relieve their undesired side effects.


    Regulation of Activity of Cathelicidin Peptides: Triggers of Sympthoms of Rosacea.

    Dr. Richard Gallo, chief of dermatology, University of California, San Diego, and colleagues have recently determined that it is not one, but a combination of two abnormal factors, that result in the papules (bumps) and pustules (pimples) of rosacea.

    "It's like having lots of gasoline...and a match," said Gallo, principal investigator of the study has been published in the August 5, 2007 online edition of Nature Medicine. In essence, the researchers found that over-production of two interactive inflammatory proteins results in excessive levels of a third protein that causes rosacea symptoms, a three factor unfortunate constelation in people with rosacea.

    Gallo and his colleagues first observed in the laboratory that certain anti-microbial peptides -- small proteins the body produces to defend itself from viruses, fungi and bacteria- of the type known as cathelicidins are triggered too easily in rosacea patients and cause redness, an increase in visible blood vessels, bumps or pimples.

    "When we then looked at patients with the disease, every one of them had far more peptides than normal." said Gallo.

    To learn why these patients have abnormal peptides, the researchers examined the source of these molecules. The precursor form of these peptides, called cathelicidin, is normally known for its function to protect the skin against infection. In other skin diseases, a deficiency of cathelicidin correlates with increased infection. In rosacea patients, researchers found the opposite was true; too much cathelicidin was present in their skin. The level of the protective cathelicidins was 200 percent to 300 percent higher in rosacea patients. They also observed that it was a different form than found in people without the skin disorder.

    Patients with rosacea also had greatly elevated levels of enzymes called stratum corneum tryptic enzymes (SCTE). These enzymes turned the precursor into the disease-causing peptide. By injecting mice with the cathelicidin peptides found in rosacea, or adding SCTE, they increased inflammation in the mouse skin, thus proving that these abnormalities can cause the disease.

    Too much SCTE and too much cathelicidin leads to the abnormal peptides that cause the symptoms of this diseaseo. "Antibiotics tend to alleviate the symptoms of rosacea in patients because some of them work to inhibit these enzymes" Gallo said their findings may modify the therapeutic approach to treating rosacea, since bacteria aren't the right target.

    While many types of bacteria may trigger the formation of cathelicidins, he said, they appear to be particularly sensitive to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which has been linked with rosacea in some studies.

    The researchers have also noticed that while the peptide is inactive when it is first made on the skin surface, enzymes in sweat cause it to become active. They concluded that cathelicidins may stimulate the production of bumps and pimples in rosacea, possibly in connection with H. pylori and other bacterial triggers.


    Interestingly the GAGs is the snail mucuous play a role in regulating the activity and expression of endogenous peptides that act as important defense molecules against all types of growing bacteria. This may explain testimonials of customers that have lost or kept down the redness caused by rosacea by using the balm.


    Regulation of Blood Vessel Growth in Rosacea.
    Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a regulator of blood vessel growth that may be associated with sun exposure, is highly expressed in the sebaceous glands of people with rosacea according to Dr. Thiboutot (Fifth Annual Rosacea Research Workshop, 2004). She noted that previous research has found VEGF may be involved in the formation of visible blood vessels in rosacea, and that rosacea patients may therefore be especially sensitive to sunlight.


    In an ongoing study, researchers demonstrated that neuropeptides -- substances produced by nerves or other cells in the skin -- and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation (found in sunlight) appear to induce the expression of VEGF. Dr. Richard Granstein, chairman of dermatology at Cornell University, reported that small amounts of UVB, the type of sunlight that causes sunburn, appear to increase VEGF expression in endothelial cells -- that is, cells that line blood vessels.


    In addition, UVB caused an increase in interleukin 8, which plays a role in inflammation. The peptide somatostatin, however, had an inhibiting effect on interleukin and on VEGF production in certain skin cells known as keratinocytes. The relationship to rosacea is still being explored.


    Research done in 2003 has noted that in culture of human vascular endothelial cells, snail GAGs at 10 and 100 micro g ml(-1) inhibited VEGF-induced capillary tube formation. These findings suggest that the inhibitory effect of the snail GAGs on the formation of new cappilaries networks from pre-existing blood vessels is due to the inhibition of excessive VEGF-induced vascular tube formation without affecting its production. This may explain reports of rosacea sufferers that have found relief by applying the balm twice a day on the areas affected and others who have used it to prevent further rosacea outbreaks.


    Heals Dermatitis Caused by Exposure to Ionizing Radiotherapy for Cancer - Radiodermatitis
    An in depth investigation conducted in Spain, in 2000 and 2001, studied the effects of snail secretion in the topical treatment of radiodermatitis, and confirmed the presence of antioxidant and fibroblast growth factor activity in the snail secretion and its excellent results to prevent and treat radiodermatitis when applied to patients undergoing ionizing radiation therapy for the control of malignant cells.


    Results show the presence of antioxidant activities in the snail secretion: enzymatic as superoxide dismutase (SOD), conjugation enzymes as glutathione-S-transferase and low molecular weight antioxidants. The antioxidant activities of the secretion can inhibit or impair the proliferation of free radicals which can stop the domino effect of spreading cellular reactions.


    The study also shows, without doubt, the presence of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGB) like activity with a cell protection function. The secretion improves cellular function and the natural regenerative processes of the skin matrix, making skin healthier and stronger. At the same time, the degradation of damaged proteins brought about by the enzymes in the secretion offers an addition to the antioxidants in protecting the skin from inflammatory agents. And moisture holding molecules in the secretion return skin moisture, comforting dry skin brought by ionizing radiation.


    Clears acne scars
    BIOBALM™ eliminates dead cells by enzymatic dissolution, destroys pathogens, heals and triggers the regeneration of damaged skin tissues.

    Once inside the follicle the bio-active compound in BIOBALM will stimulate the formation of new elastic cells, collagen and pigment, filling in scar cavities. It will also shrink and dissolve the old fibrous collagen formed to repair damaged tissues. Soon new 'invisible' hair, known as lanugo, will come through the restored hair follicles in those areas. It will also "pump" up the cells and the "ground substances" in the skin. That also reduces wrinkles on the surface of the skin.

    The secret of BIOBALM™ is not only that it provides the normal ingredients which may be deficient in the skin, but also restores the skin renewal process by stimulating the germinal cells. The result is a healthier appearance of the skin with more thickness, a normal skin color, normal skin texture and normal skin tissue turgor.


    BIOBALM means clearer skin – skin you can touch, skin you can kiss, skin you are not ashamed to show the world, whether you’re out shopping, in a business meeting, at school or at the beach. You can use BIOBALM with confidence, knowing it is made with healthful snail serum along with all-natural ingredients designed to replenish the moisture barrier of your skin. BIOBALM is fragrance-free and contains no harsh preservatives.

    BIOBALM also helps in the quick recovery of healthy skin after procedures such as laser surgery, microdermabrasion or chemical peels. Those may be the only and the best treatment for acne scars if severe scars occur.

    BIOBALM speeds skin renewal.
    After a wound, lesion or inflammatory response has occurred to the skin, both skin cells and connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) begin multiplying to repair the damage. The fibroblasts form a framework upon which the skin cells can migrate into and fill in the wound.

    It is the balance between the rate of replication of fibroblasts versus skin cells that is IMPORTANT here. If the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, they can form a dense network that is not as easily penetrated by the skin cells and that results in a large thick scar. If the skin cells keep up with the fibroblasts, then little scar tissue is formed and the skin has a more normal appearance after the wound has healed.

    Thus, to get good results it is IMPERATIVE skin healing progresses at more than a snail's pace, and here is where BIOBALM plays a role: for it SPEEDS the PROCESS OF DAMAGED SKIN RENEWAL.


    Ingredients
    At the BIOBALM labs, we take the pure snail serum and add all-natural ingredients to create a soothing, fragrance-free balm (a white emulsion with a gel-cream texture and no odor). BIOBALM is so pure that it can be used by babies and octogenarians alike – with absolutely NO side effects!

     

    BIOBALM contains the snail glycoconjugates plus two sets of ingredients. Oils that replenish the lipid skin barrier and contribute to your skin’s hydration and specific skin hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid that has a long term effect on the capacity of skin to hold in water, Pentavitin a carbohydrate complex similar to that found in the stratum corneum of the skin that retains water by tightly binding water to keratin, and a humectant: Glycerin.

     

    The oils are: a) rose hip oil which suplies natural trans retinoic acid a precursor of Viatmin A and the essential fatty acids: oleic, linoleic, and linolenic, which help maintain healthy skin, act as anti-inflammatory and nourish the skin with lipids that are necessary to fortify the outer skin barrier and protect the body from the penetration of allergens and toxins. Linoleic and Linoleic acids also increase the level of water pressure in the skin (known as turgor) improving the efficacy of the skin barrier; b) olive oil derivatives, specifically: Squalene -a fatty acid, a moisturizer and also an antioxidant-, Peg-4 Olivate emulsifier to transform a watery fluid into a pleasant gel-cream texture, and Sorbitan Olivate that acts as a surfactant.

     

    The preservative is a mix of plant extracts with antimicrobial properties by the comercial name of SUPRAPEIN, made only with the following herbal extracts in minute quantities: Origanum Vulgare (Oregano) Leaf Extract (and) Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract (and) Cinnamomum Zeylanicum (Cinnamon) Bark Extract (and) Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (and) Lavandula Augustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract (and) Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Extract (and) Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract (and) Hydrastis Canadensis (Golden Seal) Root Extract (and) Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract. Nothing else is in the Balm.

    Customer's Testimonials and Tips:

    Rosacea Treatments I should have taken before and after pictures of my face. I had a really deep and quite large scar on my cheek due to what I thought was acne. I started using this cream and could not believe that the scar I had had for over a year is actually filling in and one can barely see it. I went to the doctor and she said I was suffering from Rosacea and gave me an oral antibiotic. This has taken care of that but this cream has taken care of the ugly scars and other acne breakouts that I have suffered with all my life. This is my third time ordering and I absolutely love this product. I now look forward to looking in the mirror everyday just to see the noticeable difference in my complexion. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is suffering with any type of skin condition. Thank you so much! Racine Lynch. West Virginia, USA

    Cure for Rosacea Symptoms - Rosacea Cure - Acne Rosacea Treatment
    I read through your website about 3 months ago because I was looking for a product that would cure the redness and scars left behind from acne. I never had bad acne and I never had bad lesions, but the small pimples I did have seemed to take a long time to fade away. The first few weeks I used BIOBALM I noticed my skin becoming firmer, feeling healthier, and the redness was fading. Now after a few months I am back to buy 2 more jars because it has been working great to control getting pimples (I've only had one or two on random occasions) and my redness has completely faded. Not to mention I see the scars becoming smaller and the symptoms of rosacea disappearing. It takes a long time to work, but once it does, the results are amazing. Thanks! Courtney M. NJ, USA.

    I know that BIOBALM helps me. The front of my nose is all scar tissue; and BIOBALM has faded the scar to the point that it is just a shadow now. I met a new girl the other night because now I can go out without worry. God Bless your little snails... Adam B.  California, USA

    I am a repeat customer who is very pleased with BIOBALM and have decided to order two jars this time. It is a staple not only in terms of my surgical scars but also in my beauty regime. Lam Yi Lee. Singapore.

    Acne and Wrinkles
    I have only been using your BIOBALM for a short time for acne and wrinkles however, my skin is definitely getting tighter. I am very anxious to continue use and see if your product helps my acne scarring and fine lines. I have used many products and none have given me such results.....including prescription topical medications! Jean Ianniti. Rhode Island, USA

    Acne Scars
    I have seen more of a result, with BIOBALM than any others I have tried for acne scars. My scars are not as deep as they were and my face is smoother looking, it is working great on my small crow's feet too, by my eyes...they look hardly noticeable now, thank you for this wonderful product! Violet Wood. Florida, US.

    Acne Spots
    This is my second order. I was so happy to of found a product that truly works. I had a couple bad acne spots on my cheeks and chin that would never clear up. I started using this cream and within a few days I noticed the acne was not coming back. I have been using this cream for at least a month now and I will say my cheeks have never looked this good in about 1yr. The dark sports are quite a bit lighter also. No more red spots either on my chin. This truly is a terrific product. I have tried everything to clear up these problem spots. Now all I do is use an antibacterial soap to clean my face and then apply the cream. After it absorbs into my skin (it is not greasy) I will apply a light moisterizer before going to bed. I have never experienced any dryness or peeling either from this amazing cream. THANK YOU!!!! Lisa Olivardia. Orlando, FL, USA

    I have used BIOBALM for 2 months and this is my 3rd order of 2 jars. Within this period, I noticed tremendous improvement on the texture of my skin. The acne scars appear to be lighter but still noticeable at certain angles. I am hoping that with a few more jars, the scars would be less obvious or perhaps totally disappear so that I can show my face with confidence without any makeup. My husband noticed the improvement and has also started using it for slight pigmentation along his jawline. I will have to thank the little snails and the manufacturer of BIOBALM for restoring my self confidence in time to come. Thank you. CHF, Malaysia.

    I've used BIOBALM for about 5 months now, and I must say I'm amazed with the results. I visited my Dermatologist before I started using the product and he was talking about plastic surgery to reduce my acne scars. Now after 5 months of using the cream I just visited my dermatologist last week, he send me home with the message that there was no need for me to have surgery. Of course because of the intensity of the Acne I had, my skin will never be as it was, but it sure has improved that much that I feel fine with what I've achieved with BIOBALM. I'll keep using the cream, to me its definetely worth it!!  Arno Schuurhof, Overijssel, The Netherlands.

    I have been using BIOBALM on a surgical scar (liver transplant) for the past year. It's a slow process, but I am seeing great results. I have even started using it as a moisturizer. I love it! Karen Slowiak, Wi, USA

    Your product is amazing! I am using it for acne scars. It took a couple of weeks for my skin to adjust, but once it did it performed miracles. My acne "pits" are diminishing day by day. My skin is very smooth and I only use BIOBALM once a day. Everyone mistakes me for being 24 years old, I am 31! I owe it all to you! Thanks! Keep up the great work! Lucia Vigil. NM, USA

    I am 21 years old and in the passed year, for some unknown reason, have began breaking out and broke my bank account trying to stop it. You name it, I've tried it: ProActiv, $20 face wash, masks, peels, prescriptions, ointments and all without success. My skin is insanely sensitive and I was developing scars which, in my opinion, are worse than the acne itself because they take forever to fade. But until I could control the break outs -I was told- I couldn't do anything to stop the scarring. I found BIOBALM online and thought, why not? The theory makes sense. And it's nice to see an almost all-natural product on the market because, more than anything, my skin is too sensitive to take the chemicals in other treatments. Instantly my skin was softer and smoother and after 2 months of use, the breakouts have completely stopped and the scars have faded considerably. My skin feels great and I feel great about it! And I feel confident buying BIOBALM online, the customer service has been wonderful. Thanks a million! -Anonymous, Hafford, Canada.

    Several years of going to dermatologists who used corrosive treatments on me for extensive actinic keratosis have not even remotely given me the results I've experienced from using BIOBALM for just 3 weeks so far. I look forward to seeing the results I'll get after using BIOBALM several more weeks! Suzanne H. Kahn

    I love your product! I've tried tons of expensive and allegedly useful treatments for acne and acne scaring like clearlight, microdermabrasion, intense pulsed light and various costly beauty products but none have had the same effect so quickly as this miracle in a jar! I'm only 1/2 way through my first jar and 90% of acne has cleared and about 60% of acne scars are fading away. Thank you! I am totally bowled over by your product! Sharon Lee. London

    I have been using BIOBALM cream now for 3 months and am happy with the improvements on my skin. Not only have I noticed the scars are looking smoother, but I have had no breakouts in the last month. I have had tried laser treatments and micro dermabrasion, and used products like Retin A micro, which just made my skin red and scaley, but the BIOBALM cream is much easier on the skin. I am buying my third jar and know I will continue seeing big improvements in my skin, thanks so much for this great cream! Michelle Stewart. CA, USA

    United States Patent 6,982,247 - January 2, 2006 - Antimicrobial protein isolated from complex secreted by snails.

    This invention relates to compounds with antibiotic activity which are gathered from body fluids of snails, to therapeutic drugs comprising these compounds, and to the use thereof for the preparation of a therapeutic drug for controlling infectious pathogens in humans and animals. The patent specifies that an antimicrobial protein isolated and identified from the yellow mucus of the foot soles of a species of snails can be utilized against a broad range of infectious pathogens.

    The antibiotically effective compounds according to the invention can kill bacteria, parasites, viruses and other infectious pathogens upon both external and internal administration. The infectious pathogens against which the compounds are effective are those which cause gastro-intestinal symptoms, those which attack inner organs via the blood, and those which lead to open wounds in the skin.

    The antibacterial effectiveness is demonstrarted by bioassays using bacterial isolates freshly isolated from infected and hospitalized patients. An antibacterial-bactericidal effect was established, inter alia, against the Gram-negative species Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the Gram-positive species Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

    United States Patent 6028061 (2001). - Inhibition of Angiogenesis by a Glycosaminoglycan isolated from snails.
    Assigned to Children's Medical Center Corp (Boston, MA); The University of Iowa Research Foundation. This is for the use of a complex glyco-molecule (acharan sulfate) isolated from the body, and also present in the mucin of the snail, as a drug to inhibit angiogenesis: the development of new blood vessels.

    The same inventors are requesting a new patent for the use of the same molecule for the treatment of cancer and inhibiting an increase in the volume or mass of a cancer tumor (2005). U.S. Patent Application 20050075312, April 7, 2005 provides pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of cancer and inhibiting an increase in the volume or mass of a tumor, and methods for the treatment of cancer and inhibiting an increase in the volume or mass of a tumor. The invention is based on the discovery that acharan sulfate demonstrates in vivo anti-tumor activity. As used here, acharan sulfate means a glycosaminoglycan from the giant African snail, Achatina fulica.

    The discoverer of a naturally occurring healing complex cannot patent the phenomenon

    It is worth noting that the biological ingredient in all our BIOBALMs, is the WHOLE secretion of the snails, as it is collected directly from them, not a molecule separated from the complex or a part of it. The secretion, as it is, has biological functions that protect and benefit the skin. And those can not be patented. For the discoverer of a naturally occurring manifestation —such as an element, chemical, or mineral— cannot patent the phenomenon.
