New therapeutic antiinflammatory action of a natural PPAR-alfa agonist emollient versus topical steroids in atopic dermatitis
- Atopie
Objectives: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic dermatosis requiring permanent skin care. This goal can be achieved by emollients, often in conjunction with topical steroids if needed. In a previous study, an emollient containing a natural patented active ingredient (2% sunflower oleodistillate [SOD]) has demonstrated a 75% corticosteroid sparing effect (steroid class II, desonide 0.05%).

In a previous study, an emollient containing a natural patented active ingredient (2% sunflower oleodistillate [SOD]) has demonstrated a 75% corticosteroid sparing effect (steroid class II, desonide 0.05%). In this new European multicenter study, its applications have been compared to those of a more potent steroid (class III, hydrocortisone aceponate cream 1.27mg/g).
