INVESTIGATING THE FORMULATION OF A PHYTHONCIDE ATOPIC DERMATITIS LOTION

Facing the era of the dramatic increase in the development of medications, global intractable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, or AIDS has gained overwhelming attention. In contrast, non-transmittant illnesses such as atopic dermatitis had been underestimated in its shadowing impact.

These natural materials are known to have the capacity of moisturization and antibacterial activities. So, our phythoncide atopic lotion could be considered to alleviate patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. The lotion serves to moist skin for an extended time, with holding a natural antibacterial strength. Through multiple tests for physical characteristics of relative viscosity, mung bean and earthworm moisturization and zone of inhibition, the study concluded that our atopic dermatitis lotion should improve the irritating complication to relieve the affected skin by atopic dermatitis.
