HYMED- Healing through Hyaluronic Hydration 

Did you know the skin is the largest organ in the human body? An average adult has nearly 21 square feet of skin. There is a product for every inch of the skin, from head to toe! Does it astonish you then that the global skincare industry is worth a staggering 511 billion dollars! Skincare products make up 42% of the cosmetics industry,

The largest share of the market. Sadly, this market lacks basic concern for its consumers. Many of the ingredients used in skin care products do not heal but harm. Growing awareness among consumers has led to the growth of alternative skincare brands, particularly vegan, minimalist, and ethical.  

The skin is the canvas on which the ravages of time and other factors are painted.  

Inflammation caused by the sun’s UV rays, chemical, and environmental pollutants, toxic skincare products, lack of sleep, stress, hormone disruption, quality of food, etc. leads to premature aging and other skin conditions. Exposure to these factors over a long period, especially harsh sunlight (accounts for 80% of aging skin), generates free radicals that alter the DNA of the cells. It leads to irreparable damage to the skin. Inflammation in the skin leads to an array of conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, redness, sunburn, and sometimes cancer. 

Now the reason for the existence of the skin care industry becomes clear, it exists to solve these problems. What solutions do they offer? A product for every inch of the skin, from head to toe!! According to Statista, the beauty and personal care market in the United States is worth a lucrative $84 billion! Surprised, don’t think so! 

What is Hymed and why do we exist ?, An existential question, is it not?  

Hymed Skincare is a medical skin care line originally designed by doctors for doctors to provide relief to people suffering from Psoriasis, Rosacea, Eczema, Dermatitis, and other skin conditions. Hymed contains medical-grade, naturally derived, toxin-free ingredients to show visible results. 

25% of women switch between skincare products as it strikes their fancy. The packaging, fragrance, and color are very alluring. In doing so, there is no thought given to the efficacy of the product or the ingredients used to formulate this product. This leads to adverse skin conditions whose source cannot be traced back to any one product. Between cosmetics, perfumes, personal care products, and feminine hygiene products, women in the US apply an average of 168 chemicals on their faces and bodies every day, according to new research by the nonprofit Environmental Working Group.  

The skin is the first organ to show the effects of aging, and the visible signs are fine lines (also called crow’s feet), wrinkles, and sagging. 

The tendency is to panic at the first sign of a wrinkle or a fine line and grab the first skin product that promises to reverse this process. Among American women, aging skin is the second biggest concern next to acne. There is a sense of desperation that grasps people to go to great lengths to prevent the aging process.  Placental protein, human breast milk, human foreskin, whale vomit, and bull semen are but a few of the exotic ingredients that promise eternal youth and beauty!! Beauty Brains, a group of blogging cosmetic scientists, write, “The sad truth is that creams that claim to be anti-aging are not much more effective than standard moisturizing lotions.”  

Artificial fragrances, dyes, genetically modified ingredients, chemical preservatives, Propylene glycol, and animal-derived ingredients like lanolin are the usual suspects that cause inflammation. It is believed that a jaw-dropping 99% of skincare products have ingredients that can cause inflammation and /or disrupt the endocrine system and trigger the aging process.  

Many branded skincare lines add animal and sometimes human-derived ingredients. Without preservatives, these products are perishable because of bacterial contamination. The most notorious is Parabens which are proven to cause breast cancer. These preservatives, called endocrine disruptors, mimic hormones and disrupt the production of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid leading to cancer. When used topically, they are absorbed into the bloodstream and accumulate in the breast tissues causing cancer. 

 Among 215 cosmetics surveyed, a whopping 99% contained parabens. 13,000 products registered with the FDA have parabens, yet parabens are the most commonly used preservative in the United States. Alarming, isn’t it?   

The alternative to this chemical-laden approach is the buzzing skincare trend of clean beauty. Clean beauty is about brands being 100% clear and honest to customers in their choice of ingredients and practices. One such clean trend is organic skincare.  

But what is the reality of organic skincare? 

Organic means produced or involves production without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, GMOs, or other artificial chemicals. This lulls the consumer into a sense of complacency that organic products are formulated without harsh chemical preservatives, fertilizers, and pesticides, so it not only benefits your health but also the environment and the planet.  

According to the USDA,  

100 percent organic: The product contains only organically produced ingredients and will be allowed to display the USDA Organic seal.  

Organic: The product contains at least 95 percent organically produced ingredients and will be allowed to display the USDA Organic seal.  

Most organic skin care companies make use of the 95% organic rule. If 95% of the ingredients used are organic, then the remaining 5 %? This allowance of 5% frees the companies to be sneaky. They can add animal, chemical, and sometimes human-derived ingredients. Remember, they do not have to reveal these ingredients! Also, because the ingredients are organic, unless certified non-toxic, organic or not, they can still be dangerous.  

So, the choice is which of the lesser poisons to pick? Do you go the conventional route where you choose your favorite brand regardless of health and safety? Or, do you go organic which is almost safe and healthy? 

This is what Hymed is trying to solve and why we came into existence. Hymed was created to address specific skin conditions with the goal that skincare should heal and not harm the health of the consumers. 

So, is Hymed a breed apart from the other brands? 

Yes. The creators of Hymed believe that happiness is the best anti-aging treatment. Mental and physical health along with skincare is the route to preventing premature aging. That apart, Hymed works by preventing premature aging and addressing specific skin conditions. It prevents free-radical damage, hydrates the skin intensely, renews and rejuvenates cells, tones the skin, boosts collagen synthesis, maintains the natural pH balance of the skin, and restores radiance and smoothness to the skin- all this without compromising the health of the skin.   

What is the secret to Hymed’s exclusivity?  

• The secret is, Hymed draws knowledge from the 5000-year-old Indian medicinal science of Ayurveda. The secret is a high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, the best-known humectant that pushes water and encapsulated ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. Vegan and plant-based Hyaluronic Acid is derived from Padina Pavonica, a seaweed. There is a higher concentration of Hyaluronic Acid used which allows absorption of other ingredients. 
• The other secret is in our cutting-edge technology. Deep penetration technology uses liquid crystals to deliver water-soluble antioxidants, vitamins, plant peptides, and plant stem cells to the deeper layers of the skin. It helps repair skin damage and boost the immune system, the source of all your wellbeing. 
• Finally, the most important secret is formulation. Hymed focuses on preventing and minimizing inflammation, the root cause of premature aging, and other conditions.  

How is it done? Easily. Our iron-clad promise is    

• Never will we use ingredients that cause inflammation,   
• Never will we use chemical preservatives, animal-derived ingredients, dyes, fragrances 
• Never will we use GMO ingredients 

What we will always do, however, is    

• Formulate our products with powerful antioxidants, vitamins, plant peptides, and plant stem cells to minimize inflammation and reduce the effect of free radical damage, 
• Formulate products with plant-derived Hyaluronic acid, the best humectant known to man and can hold 1000 times its weight in water. 

So, to summarize, it is 100% vegan, plant-based, natural but clinical, and uses medical-grade and anti-inflammatory ingredients. This, along with ancient knowledge of Ayurveda, the formulation philosophy, and cutting-edge technology, works in tandem to set up Hymed as an exclusive skincare brand. 

To gild the lily, it is also cruelty-free and leaping bunny certified. We do not test our products on animals since we do not want any other sentient being to suffer for our cause.  

Profits have never been our motive, instead, we have always believed our core purpose is to benefit humanity. Our goal was to give humanity an entire range of skincare products that would be safe, anti-inflammatory, and highly effective.
