Derma-topical products launched

Ceva Animal Health has released a new range of skincare products under the Douxo S3 banner.

Designed to be well tolerated by dogs, cats and their owners, the range consists of shampoo and mousse formulations, and features a new active ingredient – ophytrium – a purified natural ingredient from Ophiopogon japonicus that has a simultaneous threefold action.

Restore balance

Ceva said ophytrium has been shown to strengthen the mechanical skin barrier, restore the balance of protective microbial flora and reduce irritation.

Ophytrium was chosen from 250 candidate ingredients following four years of research.

Range

The full range includes:

• Douxo S3 Calm, which soothes itchy, irritated skin while maintaining the skin barrier. It includes a high concentration of ophytrium.
• Douxo S3 Pyo, which contains ophytrium and chlorhexidine at 3%, and is both antibacterial and antifungal.
• Douxo S3 Seb, which features ophytrium and seboliance, and includes the natural extract from the peel of Punica granatum (pomegranate).
• Douxo S3 Care, which contains ophytrium, and is gentle for regular use and maintenance (available as a shampoo only).
