ShiKai, a plant-based personal care solutions brand, has received the prestigious National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance on two of its products. Both awarded lotions have a borage oil-based formula.
Lori Edwards, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Product Development at ShiKai, said,
“We are honored to receive this recognition from NEA – an incredible source of education and support for the roughly one in ten Americans who suffers from eczema – and join them in their mission by becoming a sponsor of Eczema Awareness Month. We are committed to creating the most effective and non-irritating plant-based skincare solutions, and our Borage Therapy formulas are prime examples.”
Borage oil addresses a fundamental cause of dryness as the richest natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an Omega-6 fatty acid. Because this ingredient is difficult to harvest and stabilize, it is rarely used in skin care products.
The Borage Therapy Dry Skin Lotion and Borage Therapy Advanced Formula are safe for all ages.
For a product to obtain the Seal, it must meet the strict standards established by NEA’s Scientific Oversight Committee – a panel of leading dermatologists, allergists, and eczema experts – and undergo testing for sensitivity, irritation, and toxicity, as well as a review of ingredients and formulation data.
Seal products cannot include fragrance, chemical UV absorbers, or formaldehyde releasers, and must be free of the ingredients on the Ecz-clusion List.
NEA established the Seal of Acceptance program to help those who have eczema find eczema-friendly products and to drive manufacturers to do better, creating products that are free of known allergens and irritants.
