What is Corneotherapy?

  • Corneotherapy is a scientific approach focused on skin preservation, prioritising the skin barrier.

  • The skin barrier consists of the microbiome (healthy bacteria), the acid mantle, and the stratum corneum (the top layer of the epidermis).

  • Maintaining this integrity and keeping the skin in a state of homeostasis (the balance of physiological processes that keep the skin healthy) prevents various skin ailments and promotes the repair and health of skin cells.

  • Corneotherapy is closely linked to Corneobiology, which studies the physiological, biological, and biochemical processes of the stratum corneum. It is not a trend or fad; it’s a scientific approach and the future of skincare.

  • Corneotheraputic products avoid ingredients that can harm the skin barrier or skin cells, including preservatives, emulsifiers, silicones, fragrances, and colors.

Our stockists are experienced corneotherapists who follow this methodology, avoiding treatments that impair barrier function, such as peels, dermaplaning, and laser treatments. Instead, they take a holistic approach, conducting thorough consultations that consider diet, lifestyle, skin history, and medical history, focusing on repairing and preparing the skin for improved health.

“Prologic’s commitment to corneotherapeutic principles drives us to develop innovative products that prioritise skin health, even in a market focused on convenience and cost.”
