Epil'O — High-Concentration Anti-Regrowth Serum 50ml

This serum positions LARREA DIVARICATA EXTRACT at 6.5%—2.17 times the concentration of the standard treatment at 3%. Following the product line's logic, this is the formula indicated for individuals whose hair regrowth is rapid or stubborn despite regular use of the standard treatment. The addition of SODIUM HYALURONATE (hyaluronic acid) is a notable formulation difference compared to the standard treatment: low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate improves hydration and contributes to a smoothing effect on skin texture, which is relevant in post-epilation areas. The base is identical to the standard treatment (cocoa butter, bisabolol, saccharide isomerate, glycerin). Epiloderm claims its versatility for Face & Body. For facial use (lip area, chin), a prior tolerance test is important—the formula contains AMYL CINNAMAL (mandatory EU allergen) and CITRONELLOL, two components that can cause reactions on delicate skin like the face in sensitive individuals. Main safety point: EVERNIA PRUNASTRI EXTRACT (oakmoss extract). Oakmoss is among the most sensitizing substances listed by EU SCCS experts. Regulation 1223/2009 restricts its concentration in leave-on products to 10 ppm (0.001%). Its position at the end of the INCI list—after LINALYL ACETATE and SODIUM METABISULFITE—indicates its presence at a very low concentration, presumably compliant. However, even at infinitesimal concentrations, oakmoss can cause reactions in sensitized individuals. This mention must systematically appear in Paradermia product information. People with documented allergies to oakmoss or treemoss should avoid this product. The perfume allergen profile is the most extensive in the Epiloderm range: FARNESOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, GERANIOL, AMYL CINNAMAL, CITRONELLOL, LIMONENE—six mandatory EU declared allergens. No photosensitizing components identified (no bergamot, no eucalyptus)—no documented restriction on sun exposure use. SODIUM METABISULFITE (sulfites) and POTASSIUM SORBATE are used in the preservative system, which is notable for individuals sensitive to sulfites. The claim "Prevention of ingrown hairs" displayed by Epiloderm is not directly associated with an authorized EU claim—it is based on the mechanical effect of regular application (reduced follicular keratinization). It has been reformulated as "helps reduce ingrown hairs" in Paradermia communications. As with other products in the range: Larrea divaricata is hepatotoxic orally (FDA warning 1992), the "do not swallow" warning is important on this pump bottle.
