HH Science has received the brand's first patent for their Balanced Skin Clear Skin Vitamins.
The patent titled "Supplement Composition" is owned by inventors Heather L. Funk, MBA and board-certified dermatologist Helen M. Torok, M.D. owners of HH Science.
Balanced Skin Clear Skin Vitamins is now a patented, novel bioavailable oral option for the improvement of several inflammatory skin conditions including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, actinic keratosis, sun damage, ulcers, wounds, vitiligo and several more.
A clinical study was conducted between February 2017 and July 2017 that followed eight patients who were diagnosed with acne, inflammation, melasma and/or perioral dermatitis. These patients all experienced improvement with their clinical diagnosis.
Torok said, "I developed this unique encapsulated supplement to help patients who struggle with inflammatory skin conditions like acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, and sun damage. This novel supplement is encapsulated to increase bioavailability for optimal results. Most supplements are in tablet form and pass through without the benefits getting directly absorbed into the bloodstream. Topical application of vitamins is absorbed into the skin but are not readily absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore cannot address internal vitamin and nutrient deficiencies. A holistic approach that addresses both the internal and external components of inflammatory skin conditions is necessary for optimal results. Our in office clinical trial mentioned above demonstrates the success of this holistic approach by partnering our patented Clear Skin Vitamins™ with a clean topical skincare regimen. It is safe for all skin types and supports a clear complexion from the inside out. The unique comprehensive mix of inflammatory fighting nutrients including Zinc and Vitamins A, B-6, C, and E, and antioxidants work from within to address inflammatory skin conditions."
Funk adds, "We have numerous claims that have been approved that we can now market as being improved from the daily use of our Clear Skin Vitamins. Patents take 5-7 years to approve and the examination process is extremely rigorous so we are very proud of this accomplishment and hope this is the first of many to come."
